On the asymptotic behaviour of some sequences of polynomials generated by second order linear recurrence relations. (Spanish. English summary) Zbl 0973.42014
Summary: The asymptotic behaviour of systems of polynomials defined by linear second-order recurrence relations of the form $S_{n+1}(z)- (a_n\cdot z+ b_n)\cdot S_n(z)+ c_n\cdot S_{n-1}(z)= 0,$ where $$a_n\to 2$$, $$b_n\to 0$$, $$c_n\to 1$$, is studied. As an application of the results, the domains of convergence of polynomial series of the form $\sum^\infty_{n=0} p_nS_n(x),\qquad p_n\in\mathbb{C},$ with $$\limsup\sqrt{|p_n|}= {1\over\rho}< 1$$ are determined, and the well-known Abel’s lemma for power series is extended to such series under appropriate assumptions. The latter problem had been previously addressed by M. A. Dumett [Lect. Mat. 16, No. 1, 37-61 (1995; Zbl 0868.33004)] from a different point of view.
