Abstract: In 1995 Magnus posed a conjecture about the asymptotics of the recurrence coefficients of orthogonal polynomials with respect to the weights on [-1,1] of the form ${\displaystyle }$ (1-x)^alpha (1+x)^�eta |x_0 - x|^gamma imes a jump at x_0, ${\displaystyle }$ with $$ and $x_{0}in(-1,1)$. We show rigorously that Magnus' conjecture is correct even in a more general situation, when the weight above has an extra factor, which is analytic in a neighborhood of [-1,1] and positive on the interval. The proof is based on the steepest descendent method of Deift and Zhou applied to the non-commutative Riemann-Hilbert problem characterizing the orthogonal polynomials. A feature of this situation is that the local analysis at $x_0$ has to be carried out in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions.
