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…
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…
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…
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 prove an inequality for Jacobi polynomials that \begin{align} \Delta_n(x):=P_n^{(\alpha_n,\beta_n)}(x)P_n^{(\alpha_{n+1},\beta_{n+1})}(x)- P_{n-1}^{(\alpha_n,\beta_n)}(x)P_{n+1}^{(\alpha_{n+1},\beta_{n+1})}(x)\le 0,\ \forall x\ge 1,…
Let ${\bf P}_k^{(\alpha, \beta)} (x)$ be an orthonormal Jacobi polynomial of degree $k.$ We will establish the following inequality \begin{equation*} \max_{x \in [\delta_{-1},\delta_1]}\sqrt{(x- \delta_{-1})(\delta_1-x)}…
Classical Jacobi polynomials $P_{n}^{(\alpha,\beta)}$, with $\alpha, \beta>-1$, have a number of well-known properties, in particular the location of their zeros in the open interval $(-1,1)$. This property is no longer valid for other…
Strong asymptotics on the whole complex plane of a sequence of monic Jacobi polynomials $P_n^{(\alpha_n, \beta_n)}$ is studied, assuming that $$ \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{\alpha_n}{n}=A, \qquad \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{\beta _n}{n}=B, $$ with…
In this paper we study the orthogonality conditions satisfied by Jacobi polynomials $P_n^{(\alpha,\beta)}$ when the parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are not necessarily $>-1$. We establish orthogonality on a generic closed contour on a…
In this paper we consider interlacing of the zeros of polynomials from different sequences $\{p_n\}$ and $\{g_n\}$. In our main result we consider a mixed recurrence equation necessary for existence of a linear term $(x-A)$ so that the…
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…
For each fixed value of $\beta$ in the range $-2<\beta<-1$ and $0<c<1$, we investigate interlacing properties of the zeros of polynomials of consecutive degree for $M_{n}(x;\beta,c)$ and $M_k(x,\beta+t,c)$, $k\in\{n-1,n,n+1\}$ and…

T. Erd\'{e}lyi, A.P. Magnus and P. Nevai conjectured that for $\alpha, \beta \ge - {1/2} ,$ the orthonormal Jacobi polynomials ${\bf P}_k^{(\alpha, \beta)} (x)$ satisfy the inequality \begin{equation*} \max_{x \in…
In this paper, we are concerned with Jacobi polynomials $P_n^{(\alpha,\beta)}(x)$ on the Bernstein ellipse with motivation mainly coming from recent studies of convergence rate of spectral interpolation. An explicit representation of…
Assume that $\{a_{n};\,n\geq0\}$ is a sequence of positive numbers and $\sum a_{n}^{\,-1}<\infty$. Let $\alpha_{n}=ka_{n}$, $\beta_{n}=a_{n}+k^{2}a_{n-1}$ where $k\in(0,1)$ is a parameter, and let $\{P_{n}(x)\}$ be an orthonormal polynomial…
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 investigate the zeros of polynomial solutions to the differential-difference equation \[ P_{n+1}(x)=A_{n}(x)P_{n}^{\prime}(x)+B_{n}(x)P_{n}(x), n=0,1,... \] where $A_{n}$ and $B_{n}$ are polynomials of degree at most 2 and 1…
