Extreme zeros in a sequence of para-orthogonal polynomials and bounds for the support of the measure (original) (raw)

Quadrature formula and zeros of para-orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle

Acta Mathematica Hungarica - ACTA MATH HUNG, 2002

Given a probability measure μ on the unit circle T, we study para-orthogonal polynomials Bn(.,w) (with fixed w ∈ T) and their zeros which are known to lie on the unit circle. We focus on the properties of zeros akin to the well known properties of zeros of orthogonal polynomials on the real line, such as alternation, separation and asymptotic distribution. We also estimate the distance between the consecutive zeros and examine the property of the support of μ to attract zeros of para-orthogonal polynomials.

Mass Points of Measures and Orthogonal Polynomials on the Unit Circle

Journal of Approximation Theory, 2002

Orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle are completely determined by their reflection coefficients through the Szegő recurrences. We assume that the reflection coefficients tend to some complex number a with 0 < |a| < 1. The orthogonality measure µ then lives essentially on the arc {e it : α ≤ t ≤ 2π − α} where sin α 2 def = |a| with α ∈ (0, π). Under the certain rate of convergence it was proved in [6] that µ has no mass points inside this arc. We show that this result is sharp in a sense. We also examine the case of the whole unit circle and some examples of singular continuous measures given by their reflection coefficients. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 42C05.

On the zeros of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle

2011

Let zn{z_n}zn be a sequence in the unit disk zinmathbbC:∣z∣<1{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1}zinmathbbC:z<1. It is known that there exists a unique positive Borel measure in the unit circle zinmathbbC:∣z∣=1{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|=1}zinmathbbC:z=1 such that the orthogonal polynomials Phin{\Phi_n}Phin satisfy [\Phi_n(z_n)=0] for each n=1,2,...n=1,2,...n=1,2,.... Characteristics of the orthogonality measure and asymptotic properties of the orthogonal polynomial are given in terms of asymptotic behavior of the sequence zn{z_n}zn. Particular attention is paid to periodic sequence of zeros zn{z_n}zn of period two and three.

Coefficients of Orthogonal Polynomials on the Unit Circle and Higher-Order Szego Theorems

Constructive Approximation, 2007

Let µ be a non-trivial probability measure on the unit circle ∂D, w the density of its absolutely continuous part, α n its Verblunsky coefficients, and Φ n its monic orthogonal polynomials. In this paper we compute the coefficients of Φ n in terms of the α n. If the function log w is in L 1 (dθ), we do the same for its Fourier coefficients. As an application we prove that if α n ∈ ℓ 4 and Q(z) ≡ N m=0 q m z m is a polynomial, then withQ(z) ≡ N m=0q m z m and S the left shift operator on sequences we have Q(e iθ) 2 log w(θ) ∈ L 1 (dθ) ⇔ {Q(S)α} n ∈ ℓ 2 We also study relative ratio asymptotics of the reversed polynomials Φ * n+1 (µ)/Φ * n (µ) − Φ * n+1 (ν)/Φ * n (ν) and provide a necessary and sufficient condition in terms of the Verblunsky coefficients of the measures µ and ν for this difference to converge to zero uniformly on compact subsets of D.

Density of zeros of orthogonal polynomials. A study with MathematicaTM

In the last few years several methods to obtain the moments around the origin of the density of zeros of orthogonal polynomials have been developed. One of them generates these moments starting from the explicit expression of the monic orthogonal polynomial. In this paper the corresponding algorithm is constructed in the "Mathematica" symbolic package context. A discussion of its goodness and applications to some interesting cases: non-standard measures, modifications of the recurrence relations, ..., are given.

ZEROS OF ORTHOGONAL POLYNOMIALS GENERATED BY THE GERONIMUS perturbation of measures

2014

This paper deals with monic orthogonal polynomial sequences (MOPS in short) generated by a Geronimus canonical spectral transformation of a positive Borel measure µ, i.e., 1 (x − c) dµ(x) + N δ(x − c), for some free parameter N ∈ R + and shift c. We analyze the behavior of the corresponding MOPS. In particular, we obtain such a behavior when the mass N tends to infinity as well as we characterize the precise values of N such the smallest (respectively, the largest) zero of these MOPS is located outside the support of the original measure µ. When µ is semi-classical, we obtain the ladder operators and the second order linear differential equation satisfied by the Geronimus perturbed MOPS, and we also give an electrostatic interpretation of the zero distribution in terms of a logarithmic potential interaction under the action of an external field. We analyze such an equilibrium problem when the mass point of the perturbation c is located outside the support of µ.

Orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle: Verblunsky coefficients with some restrictions imposed on a pair of related real sequences

Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2016

It was shown recently that associated with a pair of real sequences {{c n } ∞ n=1 , {d n } ∞ n=1 }, with {d n } ∞ n=1 a positive chain sequence, there exists a unique nontrivial probability measure μ on the unit circle. The Verblunsky coefficients {α n } ∞ n=0 associated with the orthogonal polynomials with respect to μ are given by the relation α n−1 = τ n−1 1 − 2m n − ic n 1 − ic n , n ≥ 1, where τ 0 = 1, τ n = n k=1 (1 − ic k)/(1 + ic k), n ≥ 1 and {m n } ∞ n=0 is the minimal parameter sequence of {d n } ∞ n=1. In this manuscript, we consider this relation and its consequences by imposing some restrictions of sign and periodicity on the sequences {c n } ∞ n=1 and {m n } ∞ n=1. When the sequence {c n } ∞ n=1 is of alternating sign, we use information about the zeros of associated para-orthogonal polynomials to show that there is a gap in the support of the Communicated by Antonio José Silva Neto.
