We consider the planar orthogonal polynomial $p_{n}(z)$ with respect to the measure supported on the whole complex plane $${\rm e}^{-N|z|^2} \prod_{j=1}^\nu |z-a_j|^{2c_j}\,{\rm d} A(z)$$ where ${\rm d} A$ is the Lebesgue measure of the…
In this work we show how to get advantage from the Riemann--Hilbert analysis in order to obtain information about the matrix orthogonal polynomials and functions of second kind associated with a weight matrix. We deduce properties for the…

We study integrals of the form \begin{equation*} \int_{-1}^1(C_n^{(\lambda)}(x))^2(1-x)^\alpha (1+x)^\beta\, dx, \end{equation*} where $C_n^{(\lambda)}$ denotes the Gegenbauer-polynomial of index $\lambda>0$ and $\alpha,\beta>-1$. We give…
We consider the asymptotic expansion of the Wright function \[W_{\lambda,\mu}(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{z^n}{n! \Gamma(\lambda n+\mu)}\qquad (\lambda>-1)\] for large (positive and negative) variable and large parameter $\mu$. The analysis…
The methodology of the Riemann-Hilbert (RH) factorisation approach for Lax-pair isospectral deformations is used to derive, in the solitonless sector, the leading-order asymptotics as $t \to \pm \infty$ $(x/t \sim \mathcal{O}(1))$ of…
The Painleve-IV equation has two families of rational solutions generated respectively by the generalized Hermite polynomials and the generalized Okamoto polynomials. We apply the isomonodromy method to represent all of these rational…
We study the probability that all the eigenvalues of $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices, from the Laguerre unitary ensemble with the weight $x^{\gamma}\mathrm{e}^{-4nx},\;x\in[0,\infty),\;\gamma>-1$, lie in the interval $[0,\alpha]$. By using…
In this paper we study a family of non-classical Jacobi polynomials with varying parameters of the form $\alpha_n=n+1/2$ and $\beta_n=-n-1/2$. We obtain global asymptotics for these polynomials, and use this to establish results on the…
We consider families $u_p$ of solutions to the problem \begin{equation}\label{problemAbstract} \left\{\begin{array}{lr}-\Delta u= u^p & \mbox{ in }\Omega\\ u>0 & \mbox{ in }\Omega\\ u=0 & \mbox{ on }\partial \Omega…
In this paper, we revisit large variable asymptotic expansions of tronqu\'ee solutions of the Painlev\'e I equation, obtained via the Riemann-Hilbert approach and the method of steepest descent. The explicit construction of an extra local…
We prove an asymptotic formula for the recurrence coefficients of orthogonal polynomials with orthogonality measure $\log \bigl(\frac{2}{1-x}\bigr) {\rm d}x$ on $(-1,1)$. The asymptotic formula confirms a special case of a conjecture by…
Exact and asymptotic formulae are displayed for the coefficients $\lambda_n$ used in Li's criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis. In particular, we argue that if (and only if) the Hypothesis is true, $\lambda_n \sim n(A \log n +B)$ for $n \to…
We study the uniform asymptotics for the orthogonal polynomials with respect to weights composed of both absolutely continuous measure and discrete measure, by taking a special class of the sieved Pollazek Polynomials as an example. The…
In the application of the Deift-Zhou steepest descent method to the Riemann-Hilbert problem for orthogonal polynomials, a model Riemann-Hilbert problem that appears in the multi-cut case is solved with the use of hyperelliptic theta…
Asymptotic expansions are given for large values of $n$ of the generalized Bernoulli polynomials $B_n^\mu(z)$ and Euler polynomials $E_n^\mu(z)$. In a previous paper L\'opez and Temme (1999) these polynomials have been considered for large…
Asymptotic approximations of Jacobi polynomials are given for large values of the $\beta$-parameter and of their zeros. The expansions are given in terms of Laguerre polynomials and of their zeros. The levels of accuracy of the…
The Laguerre functions $l_{n,\tau}^\alpha$, $n=0,1,\dots$, are constructed from generalized Laguerre polynomials. The functions $l_{n,\tau}^\alpha$ depend on two parameters: scale $\tau>0$ and order of generalization $\alpha>-1$, and form…
We employ an adapted version of H\"ormander's asymptotic systems method to show heuristically that the standard good-bad-ugly model admits formal polyhomogeneous asymptotic solutions near null infinity. In a related earlier approach, our…
