abstract

Given a sequence of orthogonal polynomials $(p_n)_n$ with respect to a positive measure in the real line, we study the real zeros of finite combinations of $K+1$ consecutive orthogonal polynomials of the form $$ q_n(x)=\sum_{j=0}^K\gamma_jp_{n-j}(x),\quad n\ge K, $$ where $\gamma_j$, $j=0,\cdots ,K$, are real numbers with $\gamma_0=1$, $\gamma_K\not =0$ (which do not depend on $n$). We prove that for every positive measure $\mu$ there always exists a sequence of orthogonal polynomials with respect to $\mu$ such that all the zeros of the polynomial $q_n$ above are real and simple for $n\ge n_0$, where $n_0$ is a positive integer depending on $K$ and the $\gamma_j$'s.

  1. An evolution of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials

    math.CA 2024-11 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Connects scalar and matrix Gegenbauer polynomials through explicit expansions, unlocking new symmetries, generating functions, zero distributions, and differential-difference equations.

  2. Zeros of linear combinations of Laguerre polynomials

    math.CA 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Finite sums of consecutive Laguerre polynomials are real-rooted for large n exactly when an auxiliary coefficient polynomial has only real roots, with four Laguerre normalizations giving different counts of non-real zeros.

  3. Zeros of linear combinations of Hermite polynomials

    math.CA 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Finite sums of consecutive Hermite polynomials have real-rootedness governed by a coefficient polynomial: real roots of P force real roots of the sum, and non-real roots of P appear one-for-one in high-degree sums.
