This paper is a continuation of our analysis, begun in arXiv:1310.2276, of the rational solutions of the inhomogeneous Painleve-II equation and associated rational solutions of the homogeneous coupled Painleve-II system in the limit of…

We investigate the large $n$ behavior of Jacobi polynomials with varying parameters $P_{n}^{(an+\alpha,\,bn+\beta)}(1-2\lambda^{2})$ for $a,b >-1$ and $\lambda\in(0,\,1)$. This is a well-studied topic in the literature but some of the…

The stability and convergence rate of Olver's collocation method for the numerical solution of Riemann-Hilbert problems (RHPs) is known to depend very sensitively on the particular choice of contours used as data of the RHP. By manually…

By using Riemann--Hilbert problem based techniques, we obtain the asymptotic expansion of lacunary Toeplitz determinants $\det_N\big[ c_{\ell_a-m_b}[f] \big]$ generated by holomorhpic symbols, where $\ell_a=a$ (resp. $m_b=b$) except for a…

We establish the Plancherel-Rotach-type asymptotics around the largest zero (the soft edge asymptotics) for some classes of polynomials satisfying three-term recurrence relations with exponentially increasing coefficients. As special cases,…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded smooth domain (open and connected) in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Given $u_0\in L^2(\Omega)$, $g\in L^\infty(\Omega)$ and $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$, our purpose is to describe the asymptotic behavior of…

We characterise asymptotic behaviour of families of symmetric orthonormal polynomials whose recursion coefficients satisfy certain conditions, satisfied for example by the (normalised) Hermite polynomials. More generally, these conditions…

In this paper we describe various applications of the Riemann-Hilbert method to the theory of orthogonal polynomials on the line and on the circle.

The leading asymptotic behaviour of the Humbert functions $\Phi_2$, $\Phi_3$, $\Xi_2$ of two variables is found, when the absolute values of the two independent variables become simultaneosly large. New integral representations of these…

We use the Legendre polynomials and the Hermite polynomials as two examples to illustrate a simple and systematic technique on deriving asymptotic formulas for orthogonal polynomials via recurrence relations. Another application of this…

We present the first systematic extension of the classical Hermite-Laguerre quadratic correspondence to the matrix-valued setting. Starting from a Hermite-type weight matrix W(x) = exp(-x^2) Z(x) with W(x) = W(-x), the change of variables y…

Let $G$ be the interior domain of a piecewise analytic Jordan curve without cusps. Let $\{p_n\}_{n=0}^\infty$ be the sequence of polynomials that are orthonormal over $G$ with respect to the area measure, with each $p_n$ having leading…

We consider dispersive shock wave to the focusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation generated by a discontinuous initial condition which is periodic or quasi-periodic on the left semi-axis and zero on the right semi-axis. As an initial…

We discuss the relationship between ratio asymptotics for general orthogonal polynomials and the asymptotics of the associated Bergman shift operator. More specifically, we consider the case in which a measure is supported on an infinite…

We consider the asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials for measures that are differentiable, but not necessarily analytic, multiplicative perturbations of Jacobi-like measures supported on disjoint intervals. We analyze the Fokas-Its-Kitaev…
