Abstract

We define the family of symmetric truncated Freud polynomials Pn(x;z)P_n(x;z), orthogonal with respect to the linear functional u\mathbf{u} defined by \begin{equation*} \langle \mathbf{u}, p(x)\rangle = \int_{-z}^z p(x)e^{-x^4}dx, \quad p\in \mathbb{P}, \quad z>0. \end{equation*} The semiclassical character of Pn(x;z)P_n (x; z) as polynomials of class 44 is stated. As a consequence, several properties of Pn(x;z)P_n (x; z) concerning the coefficients γn(z)\gamma_n (z) in the three-term recurrence relation they satisfy as well as the moments and the Stieltjes function of u\mathbf{u} are studied. Ladder operators associated with such a linear functional and the holonomic equation that the polynomials Pn(x;z)P_n (x; z) satisfy are deduced. Finally, an electrostatic interpretation of the zeros of such polynomials and their dynamics in terms of the parameter zz are given.
