We use the Legendre polynomials and the Hermite polynomials as two examples to illustrate a simple and systematic technique on deriving asymptotic formulas for orthogonal polynomials via recurrence relations. Another application of this technique is to provide a solution to a problem recently raised by M. E. H. Ismail.

In this paper we are concerned with polynomials orthogonal with respect to the generalized Hermite weight function w(x) = |x ? z|? exp(?x2) on R, where z?R and ? > ? 1. We give a numerically stable method for finding recursion coefficients in the three term recurrence relation for such orthogonal polynomials, using some nonlinear recurrence relations, asymptotic expansions, as well as the discretized Stieltjes-Gautschi procedure.

We study the strong asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a measure of the typedμ/2π+∑j=1∞Ajδ(z−zk), whereμis a positive measure on the unit circleΓsatisfying the Szegö condition and{zj}j=1∞are fixed points outsideΓ. The masses{Aj}j=1∞are positive numbers such that∑j=1∞Aj<+∞. Our main result is the explicit strong asymptotic formulas for the corresponding orthogonal polynomials.

We give examples of problem areas in interpolation, approximation, and quadrature, that call for orthogonal polynomials not of the classical kind. We then discuss numerical methods of computing the respective Gauss-type quadrature rules and orthogonal polynomials. The basic task is to compute the coefficients in the three-term recurrence relation for the orthogonal polynomials. This can be done by methods relying either on moment information or on discretization procedures. The effect on the recurrence coefficients of multiplying the weight function by a rational function is also discussed. Similar methods are applicable to computing Sobolev orthogonal polynomials, although their recurrence relations are more complicated. The paper concludes with a brief account of available software.
