Christoffel functions and orthogonal polynomials for Erd¨os weights on (–∞,∞)

We establish bounds on orthonormal polynomials and Christoffel functions associated with weights on IR of the form W2 = e−2Q, where Q : IR → IR is even, and is of faster than polynomial growth at ∞ (so-called Erd¨os weights). Typical examples are Q(x) := expk |x| α1, α > 1, , where expk = expk (...

Description
Summary:We establish bounds on orthonormal polynomials and Christoffel functions associated with weights on IR of the form W2 = e−2Q, where Q : IR → IR is even, and is of faster than polynomial growth at ∞ (so-called Erd¨os weights). Typical examples are Q(x) := expk |x| α1, α > 1, , where expk = expk (exp (... exp(·))) denotes the kth iterated exponential. Further, we obtain uniform estimates on the spacing of all the zeros and on the Christoffel functions. These results complement earlier ones for the case where Q is of polynomial growth at ∞ (so-called Freud weights) and for exponential weights on (−1, 1).
