On orthogonal polynomials with respect to certain discrete Sobolev inner product

Francisco Marcellán, Ramadan Zejnullahu, Bujar Fejzullahu and Edmundo Huertas

Vol. 257 (2012), No. 1, 167–188
Abstract

In this paper we deal with sequences of polynomials orthogonal with respect to the discrete Sobolev inner product

        ∫
∞                               ′   ′
⟨f,g⟩S = 0  ω(x)f(x)g(x)dx + M f(ξ)g(ξ)+ N f(ξ)g(ξ),

where ω is a weight function, ξ 0, and M,N 0. The location of the zeros of discrete Sobolev orthogonal polynomials is given in terms of the zeros of standard polynomials orthogonal with respect to the weight function ω. In particular, for ω(x) = xαex we obtain the asymptotics for discrete Laguerre–Sobolev orthogonal polynomials.
