We study the three-term recurrence coefficients [Formula: see text] of polynomial sequences orthogonal with respect to a perturbed linear functional depending on a variable [Formula: see text] We obtain power series expansions in [Formula: see text] and asymptotic expansions as [Formula: see text] We use our results to settle some conjectures proposed by Walter Van Assche and collaborators.

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the Wilson polynomials [Formula: see text] as their degree tends to infinity. These polynomials lie on the top level of the Askey scheme of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials. Infinite asymptotic expansions are derived for these polynomials in various cases, for instance, (i) when the variable [Formula: see text] is fixed and (ii) when the variable is rescaled as [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. Case (ii) has two subcases, namely, (a) zero-free zone ([Formula: see text]) and (b) oscillatory region [Formula: see text]. Corresponding results are also obtained in these cases (iii) when [Formula: see text] lies in a neighborhood of the transition point [Formula: see text], and (iv) when [Formula: see text] is in the neighborhood of the transition point [Formula: see text]. The expansions in the last two cases hold uniformly in [Formula: see text]. Case (iv) is also the only unsettled case in a sequence of works on the asymptotic analysis of linear difference equations.

Hardware double precision is often insufficient to solve large scientific problems accurately. Computing in higher precision defined by software causes significant computational overhead. The application of parallel algorithms compensates for this overhead. Newton's method to develop power series expansions of algebraic space curves is the use case for this application.
