Abstract

We consider the polynomials Ξn\Xi_n introduced in~\cite{TallaWaffo2025arxiv2511.02843} and studied in further details in\cite{TallaWaffo2026arxiv2602.16761}, which are expressed in terms of Eulerian polynomials of type~B, and study the zero distribution of the rescaled family Ξ~n(x):=Ξn(x),n2. \widetilde{\Xi}_n(x) := \Xi_n(\sqrt{x}), \qquad n\ge 2. Writing the zeros of Ξ~n\widetilde{\Xi}_n in the interval (0,1)(0,1) as 0<xn,1xn,n1<10< x_{n,1} \le \cdots \le x_{n,n-1} < 1 and forming the empirical measures μn:=1n1k=1n1δxn,k, \mu_n := \frac1{n-1}\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}\delta_{x_{n,k}}, we prove that (μn)n2(\mu_n)_{n\ge2} converges weakly to a deterministic probability measure μ\mu supported on (0,1)(0,1). We give an explicit formula for the limiting density and the limiting distribution function of~μ\mu. The proof is based on a representation of Ξn\Xi_n in terms of type~B Eulerian polynomials, a ratio asymptotic for these polynomials derived from a classical series identity, and the Stieltjes transform method. We also provide numerical experiments illustrating the convergence of the empirical zero distributions to~μ\mu.
