Asymptotics of polynomials of simultaneous orthogonality in Angelesko’s case. (Russian) Zbl 0681.42015
Let $$\rho_ i$$ be a weight (integrable a.e. positive) function on the finite segment $$\Delta_ i$$, $$i=1,2,...,p$$, where $$\Delta_ i\cap \Delta_ j=\emptyset$$, $$i\neq j$$. For a fixed set of natural numbers $$\bar n=(n_ 1,n_ 2,...,n_ p)$$, $$Q_ n(z)=z^{| \bar n|}+..$$. is called a polynomial of simultaneous orthogonality with respect to $$(\rho_ 1,...,\rho_ p)$$ if deg $$Q_{\bar n}\leq | \bar n| =n_ 1+n_ 2+...+n_ p$$ and $$\int_{\Delta_ i}Q_{\bar n}(x)x^{\nu}\rho_ i(x)dx=0,$$ $$\nu =0,1,...,n_ i-1$$ $$(i=1,...,p)$$. If $$p=1$$ we obtain classical orthogonality relations. In this case, if $$\rho =\rho_ 1$$ satisfies Szegö’s condition, where $$\Delta_ 1=[- 1,1]$$, it is well known that the sequence of polynomials $$\{Q_ n\}$$, $$n\in {\mathbb{N}}$$, satisfy Bernstein-Szegö’s asymptotic formula $Q_ n(z)=()^ n\phi_ n(z)(F(z)+o(1)),\quad n\to \infty,\quad z\in {\bar {\mathbb{C}}}\setminus [-1,1],$ where $$\phi (z)=z+\sqrt{z^ 2-1}$$ and F is an analytic function on $${\bar {\mathbb{C}}}\setminus [-1,1]$$, $$F(\infty)=1$$, whose boundary values are determined by $$\rho$$ (x). The author ingeneously combines techniques of the theories of Riemann surfaces and extremal boundary problems of analytic functions with theoretical- potential arguments to obtain an extension of Bernstein-Szegö’s classical formula in the general setting described above of simultaneous orthogonal polynomials. These results find applications in Hermite-Padé approximation, diophantine approximation and in the construction of the spectral and scattering theories of difference operators of order $$p+1$$.
