Asymptotic properties of generalized Laguerre orthogonal polynomials

Varying discrete Laguerre-Sobolev orthogonal polynomials: Asymptotic behavior and zeros

We consider a varying discrete Sobolev inner product involving the Laguerre weight. Our aim is to study the asymptotic properties of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials and of their zeros. We are interested in Mehler–Heine type formulas because they describe the asymptotic differences between these Sobolev orthogonal polynomials and the classical Laguerre polynomials. Moreover, they give u...

Some Properties of Orthogonal Polynomials for Laguerre-Type Weights

Specializations of Generalized Laguerre Polynomials

Three specializations of a set of orthogonal polynomials with “8 different q’s” are given. The polynomials are identified as q-analogues of Laguerre polynomials, and the combinatorial interpretation of the moments give infinitely many new Mahonian statistics on permutations.

Algebraic Properties of a Family of Generalized Laguerre Polynomials

We study the algebraic properties of Generalized Laguerre Polynomials for negative integral values of the parameter. For integers r, n ≥ 0, we conjecture that L n (x) = Pn j=0 `n− j+r n− j ́ x / j! is a Q-irreducible polynomial whose Galois group contains the alternating group on n letters. That this is so for r = n was conjectured in the 1950’s by Grosswald and proven recently by Filaseta and T...

Connection coefficients for Laguerre–Sobolev orthogonal polynomials

Laguerre–Sobolev polynomials are orthogonal with respect to an inner product of the form 〈p,q〉S = ∫∞ 0 p(x)q(x)x αe−x dx + λ∫∞ 0 p′(x)q′(x)dμ(x), where α > −1, λ 0, and p,q ∈ P, the linear space of polynomials with real coefficients. If dμ(x) = xαe−x dx, the corresponding sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials {Q n (x)} has been studied by Marcellán et al. (J. Comput. Appl. Math. 71 (1996) 24...
