Changed content", "categories": [ "math.CA" ], "abstract": "Let $\\mu_0$ and $\\mu_1$ be measures supported on an unbounded interval and $S_{n,\\lambda_n}$ the extremal varying Sobolev polynomial which minimizes \\begin{equation*} < P, P >_{\\lambda_n}=\\int P^2 d\\mu_0 + \\lambda_n \\int P'^2 d\\mu_1, \\quad \\lambda_n >0 \\end{equation*} \\noindent in the class of all monic polynomials of degree $n$. The goal of this paper is twofold. On one hand, we discuss how to balance both terms of this inner product, that is, how to choose a sequence $(\\lambda_n)$ such that both measures $\\mu_0$ and $\\mu_1$ play a role in the asymptotics of $(S_{n, \\lambda_n}).$ On the other, we apply such ideas to the case when both $\\mu_0$ and $\\mu_1$ are Freud weights. Asymptotics for the corresponding $S_{n, \\lambda_n}$ are computed, illustrating the accuracy of the choice of $\\lambda_n .$", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-05-02T14:50:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42C05" ], "keywords": [ "sobolev orthogonal polynomials", "asymptotics", "extremal varying sobolev polynomial", "inner product", "monic polynomials" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......6589A" } } }
