Abstract: The Hamburger moment problem for the q-Lommel polynomials which are related to the Hahn-Exton q-Bessel function is known to be indeterminate for a certain range of parameters. In this paper, the Nevanlinna parametrization for the indeterminate case is provided in an explicit form. This makes it possible to describe all N-extremal measures of orthogonality. Moreover, a linear and quadratic recurrence relation are derived for the moment sequence, and the asymptotic behavior of the moments for large powers is obtained with the aid of appropriate estimates.


The authors study a sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials \(\{F_n(a,q;x)\}_n^{\infty}\) (in the variable \(x\) and depending on the parameters \(a>0\) and \(q,\,0<q<1\)), following from the recurrence relation \[ u_{n+1}=(x-(a+1)q^{-n})u_n-aq^{-2n+1}u_{n-1},\;n\in {\mathbb Z}_{+}, \eqno{(1)} \] with \({\mathbb Z}_{+}\) the nonnegative integers, and initial conditions \(F_{-1}(a,q;x)=0,\,F_0(a,q;x)=1\). These polynomials are connected with the \(q\)-Lommel polynomials \(h_{n,\nu}(w;q)\) as defined in [\textit{H. T. Koelink} and \textit{R. F. Swarttouw}, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 186, No. 3, 690--710 (1994; Zbl 0811.33013)] (following from the recurrence relation for the Hahn-Exton \(q\)-Bessel function) by \[ h_{n,\nu}(w;q)=(-1)^nw^nq^{n(n-1)/2}F_n(w^{-2},q;q^{\nu}). \] Defining \(G_n\) by \[ G_n(a,q;x)=q^{1-n}F_{n-1}(a,q;qx),\;n\in {\mathbb Z}_{+}, \] the authors introduce a second, linearly independent solution of (1), with \(G_{0}(a,q;x)=0,\,G_1(a,q;x)=1\). Normalizing these polynomials, they introduce \[ P_n(a,q;x)=a^{-n/2}q^{n^2/2}F_n(a,q;x),\;Q_n(a,q;x)=a^{-n/2}q^{n^2/2}G_n(a,q;x),\;n\in {\mathbb Z}_{+}. \] Recalling the fact that the Hamburger moment problem for the \(P_n\) is indeterminate if and only if \(q<a<q^{-1}\), they also recall that the existing infinitely many distinct measures which can be parametrized using the Nevanlinna functions \(A\), \(B\), \(C\) and \(D\): \[ A(z)=z\sum_{n=0}{\infty}\,Q_n(0)Q_n(z),\quad B(z)=-1+z\sum_{n=0}{\infty}\,Q_n(0)P_n(z), \] \[ C(z)=-1+z\sum_{n=0}{\infty}\,P_n(0)Q_n(z),\quad D(z)=z\sum_{n=0}{\infty}\,P_n(0)P_n(z). \] These functions are entire and satisfy \[ A(z)D(z)-B(z)C(z)=1,\;z\in {\mathbb C}. \] The layout of the paper is as follows: \S1. Introduction. \S2. The Nevanlinna functions for \(q\)-Lommel polynomials. In \S2.4, the explicit form of the Nevanlinna functions is given in Theorem 3, followed by some corollaries, and in \S2.5, Proposition 10, all \(N\)-extremal measures are shown. \S3. The moment sequence. In \S3.1, the authors pass to the determinate case and in \S3.2 they give the recurrence relations and asymptotic behavior. Appendix. `An asymptotic expansion for the basic confluent hypergeometric function and its roots' (main results in Theorem A.1, Theorem A.2 and Proposition A.3). References (27 items).
