In this paper we deal with
sequences of polynomials orthogonal with respect to the discrete Sobolev inner
product
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) = xαe−x we obtain the asymptotics for discrete Laguerre–Sobolev orthogonal
polynomials.
