We derive uniform and non-uniform asymptotics of the Charlier polynomials by using difference equation methods alone. The Charlier polynomials are special in that they do not fit into the framework of the turning point theory, despite the…
We investigate multiple Charlier polynomials and in particular we will use the (nearest neighbor) recurrence relation to find the asymptotic behavior of the ratio of two multiple Charlier polynomials. This result is then used to obtain the…

We make a number of comments on Chebyshev polynomials for general compact subsets of the complex plane. We focus on two aspects: asymptotics of the zeros and explicit Totik--Widom upper bounds on their norms.
We analyze the representation of $A^{n}$ as a linear combination of $A^{j},\ 0\leq j\leq k-1,$ where $A$ is a $k\times k$ matrix. We obtain a first order asymptotic approximation of $A^{n}$ as $n\to\infty,$ without imposing any special…
