We investigate interlacing properties of zeros of Laguerre polynomials $ L_{n}^{(\alpha)}(x)$ and $ L_{n+1}^{(\alpha +k)}(x),$ $ \alpha > -1, $ where $ n \in \mathbb{N}$ and $ k \in {\{ 1,2 }\}$. We prove that, in general, the zeros of…

We study the number of real zeros of finite combinations of $K+1$ consecutive normalized Laguerre polynomials of the form $$ q_n(x)=\sum_{j=0}^K\gamma_j\tilde L^\alpha_{n-j}(x),\quad n\ge K, $$ where $\gamma_j$, $j=0,\cdots ,K$, are real…

We propose a simple uniform lower bound on the spacings between the successive zeros of the Laguerre polynomials $L_n^{(\alpha)}$ for all $\alpha>-1$. Our bound is sharp regarding the order of dependency on $n$ and $\alpha$ in various…

We consider Laguerre polynomials $L_n^{(\alpha_n)}(nz)$ with varying negative parameters $\alpha_n$, such that the limit $A = -\lim_n \alpha_n/n$ exists and belongs to $(0,1)$. For $A > 1$, it is known that the zeros accumulate along an…

Following a systematic analysis of existing results, we investigate when complete interlacing between the zeros of distinct polynomial sequences, $\{\mathcal{P}_n\}$ and $\{\mathcal{G}_n\}$ can be achieved by using a naturally arising extra…

We consider interlacing properties satisfied by the zeros of Jacobi polynomials in quasi-orthogonal sequences characterised by $\alpha>-1$, $-2<\beta<-1$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions under which a conjecture by Askey, that…

Information about the behavior of zeros of classical families of multiple or Hermite-Pad\'e orthogonal polynomials as functions of the intrinsic parameters of the family is scarce. We establish the interlacing properties of the zeros of…

In the present note we obtain new results on two conjectures by Csordas et al. regarding the interlacing property of zeros of special polynomials. These polynomials came from the Jacobi tau methods for the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue…

For the generalized Jacobi, Laguerre and Hermite polynomials $P_n^{(\alpha_n, \beta_n)} (x), L_n^{(\alpha_n)} (x),$\break $H_n^{(\gamma_n)} (x)$ the limit distributions of the zeros are found, when the sequences $\alpha_n$ or $\beta_n$ tend…

We study the algebraic properties of Generalized Laguerre Polynomials for negative integral values of the parameter. For integers $r,n\geq 0$, we conjecture that $L_n^{(-1-n-r)}(x) = \sum_{j=0}^n \binom{n-j+r}{n-j}x^j/j!$ is a…

Laguerre's theorem regarding the number of non-real zeros of a polynomial and its image under certain linear operators is generalized. This generalization is then used to (1) exhibit a number of previously undiscovered complex zero…

We consider a $(q,y)$-analogue of Laguerre polynomials $L^{(\alpha)}_n(x;y;q)$ for integral $\alpha\geq -1$, which turns out to be a rescaled version of Al-Salam--Chihara polynomials. A combinatorial interpretation for the $(q,y)$-Laguerre…

We investigate completed interlacing of zeros for pairs of polynomial sequences that fail to interlace by exactly two points. Using a general mixed recurrence relation, we identify a quadratic polynomial whose zeros serve as the two extra…
