This is a brief account on some results and methods of the asymptotic theory dealing with the entropy of orthogonal polynomials for large degree. This study is motivated primarily by quantum mechanics, where the wave functions and the densities of the states of solvable quantum-mechanical systems ar
We prove that if both [P n (x)] n=0 and [{ r P n (x)] n=r are orthogonal polynomials for any fixed integer r 1, then [P n (x)] n=0 must be discrete classical orthogonal polynomials. This result is a discrete version of the classical Hahn's theorem stating that if both [P n (x)] n=0 and [(dÂdx) r P n
It is well-known that the family of Hahn polynomials {h α,β n (x; N)} n≥0 is orthogonal with respect to a certain weight function up to degree N. In this paper we prove, by using the three-term recurrence relation which this family satisfies, that the Hahn polynomials can be characterized by a ∆-Sob
