AbstractWe study the expected number of real zeros for random linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials. It is well known that Kac polynomials, spanned by monomials with i.i.d. Gaussian coefficients, have only (2/π + o(1))logn expected real zeros in terms of the degree n. If the basis is given by the orthonormal polynomials associated with a compactly supported Borel measure on the real line, or associated with a Freud weight defined on the whole real line, then random linear combinations have $n/\sqrt{3} + o(n)$ expected real zeros. We prove that the same asymptotic relation holds for all random orthogonal polynomials on the real line associated with a large class of weights, and give local results on the expected number of real zeros. We also show that the counting measures of properly scaled zeros of these random polynomials converge weakly to either the Ullman distribution or the arcsine distribution.

Definition Of

The expected number of real zeros of the polynomial of the form , where is a sequence of standard Gaussian random variables, is known. For large it is shown that this expected number in is asymptotic to . In this paper, we show that this asymptotic value increases significantly to when we consider a polynomial in the form instead. We give the motivation for our choice of polynomial and also obtain some other characteristics for the polynomial, such as the expected number of level crossings or maxima. We note, and present, a small modification to the definition of our polynomial which improves our result from the above asymptotic relation to the equality.

Let T0∗(x),T1∗(x),…,Tn∗(x) be a sequence of normalized Legendre polynomials orthogonal with respect to the interval (−1,1). The asymptotic estimate of the expected number of real zeros of the random polynomial g0T0∗(x)+g1T1∗(x)+…+gnTn∗(x) where gj, j=1,2,…,n are independent identically and normally distributed random variables is known. In this paper, we first present the asymptotic value for the above expected number when coefficients are dependent random variables. Further, for the case of independent coefficients, we define the expected number of zero up-crossings with slope greater than u or zero down-crossings with slope less than −u. Promoted by the graphical interpretation, we define these crossings as u-sharp. For the above polynomial, we provide the expected number of such crossings.

We have proved here that the expected number of real zeros of a random hyperbolic polynomial of the formy=Pnt=n1a1cosh⁡t+n2a2cosh⁡2t+⋯+nnancosh⁡nt, wherea1,…,anis a sequence of standard Gaussian random variables, isn/2+op(1). It is shown that the asymptotic value of expected number of times the polynomial crosses the levely=Kis alson/2as long asKdoes not exceed2neμ(n), whereμ(n)=o(n). The number of oscillations ofPn(t)abouty=Kwill be less thann/2asymptotically only ifK=2neμ(n), whereμ(n)=O(n)orn-1μ(n)→∞. In the former case the number of oscillations continues to be a fraction ofnand decreases with the increase in value ofμ(n). In the latter case, the number of oscillations reduces toop(n)and almost no trace of the curve is expected to be present above the levely=Kifμ(n)/(nlogn)→∞.
