Our goal is to find an asymptotic behavior as $n\to\infty$ of orthogonal polynomials $P_{n}(z)$ defined by the Jacobi recurrence coefficients $a_{n}, b_{n}$. We suppose that the off-diagonal coefficients $a_{n}$ grow so rapidly that the…
In 1977 Carlitz and Scoville introduced the cycle $(\alpha,t)$-Eulerian polynomials $A^{\mathrm{cyc}}_n(x,y, t\,|\,\alpha)$ by enumerating permutations with respect to the number of excedances, drops, fixed points and cycles. In this paper,…
We use Turan type inequalities to give new non-asymptotic bounds on the extreme zeros of orthogonal polynomials in terms of the coefficients of their three term recurrence. Most of our results deal with symmetric polynomials satisfying the…
We define a family {$\gamma(P)$} of generalized Euler constants indexed by finite sets of primes $P$ and study their distribution. These arise from partial sums of reciprocals of integers not divisible by any prime in $P$. An apparent…
Motivated by the connection to a probabilistic model of phylogenetic trees introduced by Aldous, we study the recursive sequence governed by the rule $x_n = \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} \frac{1}{h_{n-1}(n-i)} x_i$ where $h_{n-1} = \sum_{j=1}^{n-1}…
Let $(X,T,\mu,d)$ be a metric measure-preserving system. If $B(x,r_n(x))$ is a sequence of balls such that, for each $n$, the measure of $B(x,r_n(x))$ is constant, then we obtain a self-norming CLT for recurrence for systems satisfying a…
