Asymptotic behavior of orthogonal polynomials without the Carleman condition

are also qualitatively different from each other. As an application of these results, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the essential self-adjointness of the corresponding minimal Jacobi operator.

Review text

The main problem under consideration in the paper is the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the Jacobi equation \[ a_{n-1}F_{n-1}(z)+b_nF_n(z)+a_nF_{n+1}(z)=zF_n(z), \quad n=0,1,\ldots. \] The recurrence coefficients \(\{a_n>0\}\), \(\{b_n\in\mathbb{R}\}\) satisfy \[ \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac1{a_n}<\infty, \quad \beta_n:=-\frac{b_n}{2\sqrt{a_{n-1}a_n}}\to\beta_\infty, \ |\beta_\infty|\not=1. \] The cases \(|\beta_\infty|<1\) and \(|\beta_\infty|>1\) should be distinguished. In the former one the asymptotic behavior is \[ F_n(z)=a_n^{-1/2}\bigl(\kappa_+(z)e^{i\phi_n}+\kappa_-(z)e^{-i\phi_n}+o(1)\bigr), \quad n\to\infty, \] where \[ \phi_n:=\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \gamma_k, \quad \beta_k=\cos\gamma_k, \] the sum is restricted to \(k\) with \(|\beta_k|\le1\). In the latter case one has \[ F(z)=\kappa(z)a_n^{-1/2}(\mathrm{sign}\,\beta_\infty)^ne^{i\psi_n}(1+o(1)), \] where \[ \phi_n:=\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \gamma_k, \quad \beta_k=\cosh\gamma_k, \] the sum is restricted to \(k\) with \(|\beta_k|\ge1\). The coefficients \(\kappa_\pm(z)\) and \(\kappa(z)\) can be expressed via the Wronskian of the solution and the Jost solution of the Jacobi equation.
