✦ Synopsis
We obtain the (contracted) weak zero asymptotics for orthogonal polynomials with respect to Sobolev inner products with exponential weights in the real semiaxis, of the form
x γ e -ϕ(x) , with γ > 0, which include as particular cases the counterparts of the so-called Freud (i.e., when ϕ has a polynomial growth at infinity) and Erdös (when ϕ grows faster than any polynomial at infinity) weights. In addition, the boundness of the distance of the zeros of these Sobolev orthogonal polynomials to the convex hull of the support and, as a consequence, a result on logarithmic asymptotics are derived.

We consider asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials with respect to weights w(x)dx = e -Q(x) dx on the real line, where Q(x) = ∑ 2m k=0 q k x k , q 2m > 0, denotes a polynomial of even order with positive leading coefficient. The orthogonal polynomial problem is formulated as a Riemann-Hilbert problem
Using potential theoretic methods we study the asymptotic distribution of zeros and critical points of Sobolev orthogonal polynomials, i.e., polynomials orthogonal with respect to an inner product involving derivatives. Under general assumptions it is shown that the critical points have a canonical
Strong asymptotics for the sequence of monic polynomials Q n (z), orthogonal with respect to the inner product with z outside of the support of the measure + 2 , is established under the additional assumption that + 1 and + 2 form a so-called coherent pair with compact support. Moreover, the asympt
