We consider polynomials that are orthogonal on $[-1,1]$ with respect to a modified Jacobi weight $(1-x)^\alpha (1+x)^\beta h(x)$, with $\alpha,\beta>-1$ and $h$ real analytic and stricly positive on $[-1,1]$. We obtain full asymptotic…

We consider polynomials $p_n^{\omega}(x)$ that are orthogonal with respect to the oscillatory weight $w(x)=e^{i\omega x}$ on $[-1,1]$, where $\omega>0$ is a real parameter. A first analysis of $p_n^{\omega}(x)$ for large values of $\omega$…

We consider asymptotics of planar orthogonal polynomials $P_{n,N}$ (where $\mathrm{deg}P_{n,N}=n$) with respect to the weight $$\frac{|z-w|^{2NQ_1}}{(1+|z|^2)^{N(1+Q_0+Q_1)+1}}, \quad(Q_0,Q_1 > 0)$$ in the whole complex plane. With $n,…

We describe a Riemann-Hilbert problem for a family of $q$-orthogonal polynomials, $\{ P_n(x) \}_{n=0}^\infty$, and use it to deduce their asymptotic behaviours in the limit as the degree, $n$, approaches infinity. We find that the…

We carry out the asymptotic analysis as $n \to \infty$ of a class of orthogonal polynomials $p_{n}(z)$ of degree $n$, defined with respect to the planar measure \begin{equation*} d\mu(z) = (1-|z|^{2})^{\alpha-1}|z-x|^{\gamma}\mathbf{1}_{|z|…

In this paper we study the local zero behavior of orthogonal polynomials around an algebraic singularity, that is, when the measure of orthogonality is supported on $ [-1,1] $ and behaves like $ h(x)|x - x_0|^\lambda dx $ for some $ x_0 \in…

We study whether in the setting of the Deift-Zhou nonlinear steepest descent method one can avoid solving local parametrix problems explicitly, while still obtaining asymptotic results. We show that this can be done, provided an a priori…

We consider orthogonal polynomials $\{p_{n,N}(x)\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ on the real line with respect to a weight $w(x)=e^{-NV(x)}$ and in particular the asymptotic behaviour of the coefficients $a_{n,N}$ and $b_{n,N}$ in the three term…
