We derive optimal asymptotic and non-asymptotic lower bounds on the Widom factors for weighted Chebyshev and orthogonal polynomials on compact subsets of the real line. In the Chebyshev case we extend the optimal non-asymptotic lower bound…

We derive semiclassical asymptotics for the orthogonal polynomials P_n(z) on the line with respect to the exponential weight \exp(-NV(z)), where V(z) is a double-well quartic polynomial, in the limit when n, N \to \infty. We assume that…

The paper deals with the numerical approximation of the Hilbert transform on the unit circle using Szeg\"o and anti-Szeg\"o quadrature formulas. These schemes exhibit maximum precision with oppositely signed errors and allow for improved…

We study a class of weight functions on $[-1,1]$, which are special cases of the general weights studied by Bernstein and Szeg\"o, as well as their extentions to the interval $[-a,1]$ for a continuous parameter $a>0$. These weights are…

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…

In this article, we continue the development of the Riemann-Hilbert formalism for studying the asymptotics of Toeplitz+Hankel determinants with non-identical symbols, which we initiated in \cite{GI}. In \cite{GI}, we showed that the…

We consider polynomials orthogonal on $[0,\infty)$ with respect to Laguerre-type weights $w(x)=x^\alpha e^{-Q(x)}$, where $\alpha>-1$ and where $Q$ denotes a polynomial with positive leading coefficient. The main purpose of this paper is to…

We investigate a Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP), whose solution corresponds to a group of $q$-orthogonal polynomials studied earlier by Ismail et al. Using RHP theory we determine new asymptotic results in the limit as the degree of the…

We provide simple criteria and algorithms for expressing homogeneous polynomials as sums of powers of independent linear forms, or equivalently, for decomposing symmetric tensors into sums of rank-1 symmetric tensors of linearly independent…

First we give here a simple proof of a remarkable result of Videnskii and Shirokov: let $B$ be a Blaschke product with $n$ zeros, then there exists an outer function $\phi, \phi(0)=1$, such that $\|(B\phi)'\| \leq C n$, where $C$ is an…

A fast and weakly stable method for computing the zeros of a particular class of hypergeometric polynomials is presented. The studied hypergeometric polynomials satisfy a higher order differential equation and generalize Laguerre…

Growth estimates of complex orthogonal polynomials with respect to the area measure supported by a disjoint union of planar Jordan domains (called, in short, an archipelago) are obtained by a combination of methods of potential theory and…

We disprove a conjecture of Simon for higher-order Szego theorems for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle and propose a modified version of the conjecture.

The first part of this paper is devoted to the study of the orthogonal polynomial on the circle, with respect of a weight of type $f_\alpha (\theta) = (2\cos \theta- 2\cos \theta_0)^{2\alpha} c_1$ with $\theta_0 \in ]0,\pi[$, -1/2…

In this paper we study sharp estimates for the Schr\"odinger operator via the framework of orthogonal polynomials. We use spherical harmonics and Gegenbauer polynomials to prove a new weighted inequality for the Schr\"odinger equation that…

We analyze the large degree asymptotic behavior of matrix valued orthogonal polynomials (MVOPs), with a weight that consists of a Jacobi scalar factor and a matrix part. Using the Riemann-Hilbert formulation for MVOPs and the Deift-Zhou…

We review recent results on necessary and sufficient conditions for measures on $\mathbb{R}$ and $\partial\mathbb{D}$ to yield exponential decay of the recursion coefficients of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials. We include results…
