1. Introduction
Let be an arc or a closed rectifiable Jordan curve in the complex plane. For simplicity, we assume that the
parametrization of with respect to the arc length is a complex valued function f defined on an interval [a, b] R.
We assume that C 2+ ; that is, f has second derivative which satisfies the Lipschitz condition
f (x) f (y) C|x y| ,
for some constants C, > 0 and for all x, y [a, b].
By we denote the unbounded connected component of C \ . Throughout this paper we assume that
{z1 , . . . , zm } is a finite set of points, and {k }N
k=0 a set of N + 1 finite positive Borel measures supported on ,
where N is such that dN ( ) = N ( )|d |. On the vector space of polynomials P, we consider the inner products

p, qN =

Theorem 1. Let {k }N

The function F allows to describe the asymptotic behavior of the N th derivative of the polynomials Qn .
By limn n = in , we denote local uniform convergence in the region of the sequence of functions
{n }nN as n (i.e. uniform convergence on each compact subset of ).

Notice that the asymptotic behavior of {Qn } only depends on the weight N and the interaction matrix A. Some of
the measures k , k = 0, . . . , N 1, may even be zero as long as ,S is an inner product in the space of polynomials.

From (9), (12), and Hurwitz theorem, the asymptotic behavior of the zeros of the polynomials Qn is derived. Let
G = C \ ; therefore, G is an open connected set if is a closed curve, and it is empty if is an arc.
Corollary 1. Under the assumptions of Theorem 3, for n sufficiently large, each point zi , i = 1, . . . , m, attracts exactly
di + 1 zeros of Qn . The rest of the zeros accumulate on G.
The paper is organized as follows. The next section, includes the definitions and auxiliary results needed in the
sequel. Section 3 is dedicated to the proof of Theorem 1. Finally, Section 4 contains the proof of Theorems 2 and 3.
2. Definitions and auxiliary results
In order to give a unified treatment to the cases of an arc and a closed curve, we will consider a rectifiable Jordan
arc as a two sided cut of the complex plane. If is an arc and g is an analytic function in with boundary values
almost everywhere on (with respect to the Lebesgue measure) when we approach the arc from each side, we denote
by g+ ( ) and g ( ) the two boundary values of g at a given point .
If g+ and g are integrable on with respect to the weight , we define
g( )( )|d | = g+ ( )( )|d | + g ( )( )|d |.
When is a closed curve and g is analytic on with boundary values g( ) for almost all , we define
g( )( )|d | = g( )( )|d |.
Assume that is a finite positive Borel measure supported on C 2+ and d = ( )|d |, S( ). Let Pn (; z)
denote the nth monic orthogonal polynomial with respect to , and
2
p( )2 ( )|d |.
n () = Pn (; ) ( )|d | =
infn
(14)
p(z)=z +
= 1 ({w
C: |w| = r}), r > 1. Since C 2+ , by Carathodorys theorem (see [7, Chapter 2]), and
Set r
1 have one-to-one continuous extensions to the boundary of their respective domains of definition (considering in
the case that is an arc that it has two sides) and |( )| = 1 (| ( )| = 1 if is an arc) for all .
Since S( ), there exists a unique function D(; ) analytic on satisfying:
(1) for all z , D(; z)
= 0,
(2) D(; ) > 0,
(3) for almost all , D(; ) has non-tangential limit D(; ) (D+ (; ), D (; ) if is an arc) and |D(; )| =
( ) (|D (; )| = ( )).
If g(z; ) = log|(z)| denotes the Green function of with singularity at infinity, and / denotes the exterior
normal derivative to , then

makes H 2 (, ) a Hilbert space. By the Riesz representation theorem it follows that there exists (see [8, 7]) a
function K(t, z), called Szego reproducing kernel, such that for any f H 2 (, )
f (z) = f, K(., z) H 2 (,) , z .
(17)
Let H 2 (,) be the norm induced by (16). The extremal property (14) of the polynomials Pn (; ) motivates the
following extremal problem:
(18)
() = min f 2H 2 (,) : f H 2 (, ), f () = 1 .
It has a unique minimizing function, which we denote by F , satisfying additionally (see [8, 6 and 7])

, z ,
D(; z)
() = 2D(; )C( ),
(19)
F(z) = ()K(z, ),
(20)
F 2 (z) = (z)
z .
The function F and the extremal constant () are intimately connected with the asymptotic properties of the orthogonal polynomials Pn (; ). In fact,

polynomials Ln with respect to (3) with N = 0 is

Notice that the asymptotic formulas (27) and (28) coincide in form with those given in (21) and (22) for n () and
Pn (, ), respectively, only the extremal constant and function change.
The following result shows that for functions in H 2 (, ), estimates of in the L2 norm imply estimates on
K in the uniform norm (see [8, Corollary 7.4]).
Lemma 1. Let K be a compact set and S( ). Then, there exists a constant A(K), which only depends on K,
such that for all f H 2 (, )

that is, (R) is the monic primitive of the monic polynomial R that vanishes at 0 . Now, define 0 = I (the identity
operator on P ), k = k1 , k N. If R(z) = zn + , then deg(k (R)) = n + k and for each j {0, . . . , k}
(n + k)!
(j )

k (R)(z) =
(29)
(n + k j )!
Lemma 2. Let be a finite positive Borel measure supported on , d( ) = ( )|d |, a monic polynomial whose
zeros lie in C \ , deg = M, W = ||2 and Pn = Pn (W; ) the nth monic orthogonal polynomial with respect to
the measure W|d |. If 1/ L1 ( ), then for each k N, the sequence of polynomials
n! k (PnM )(z)
, n N, n > M,
(30)
n,k (z) :=
(n + k)!
nM (W)
is uniformly bounded on and tends to zero for all z as n .
Proof. Let l be the length of and = (t), t [0, l], (0) = (l) = 0 , 0 , be the parametrization of with
respect to the arc length. If z ,

(z)
( )pnM ( ) d =

where (z) = [0, s] denotes the arc along from 0 to z, following the orientation given by the parametrization,
and pn = pn (W; ) is the nth orthonormal polynomial with respect to the measure W|d |.
If 1(z) is the characteristic function of (z), then
W ((t))((t))
n,1 (z) =
pnM (t) (t) dt = f (z; )pnM ( )W ( )( )|d |

Thus, n,1 (z) is the conjugate of the (n M)th Fourier coefficient of f (z; ) with respect to the orthonormal system
{pn } in L2 (W). Since 1/ L1 ( ), then for all z ,

In the last equality, the second term tends to zero since it is the Fourier coefficient of an integrable function. Therefore,
we also have (10) when is an arc and we conclude. 2
In proving Theorem 3, we use the following auxiliary result.
Lemma 6. Under the assumptions of Theorem 3, we have for k = 0, . . . , i 1 and i = 1, . . . , N ,

Proof of Theorem 3. For a given k Z+ , (12) and (13) are equivalent due to (28). On the other hand, using the
Weierstrass theorem it is easy to prove that if (12) is true for a certain k then it holds for all i k. For k = N , (12)
coincides with (10). Therefore, (12) takes place for all k N . To conclude, we will assume that (12) is satisfied for
some k, 1 k N , and prove that it also holds for k 1.
We have

From Lemma 6 and the Weierstrass theorem, the second term on the right-hand side of this equality tends to zero
uniformly on compact subsets of . By assumption,

Taking limit on both sides of the equality above, (12) immediately follows for k 1 and we are done.

Remark. The following questions arise naturally. First of all, can the assumption that N is absolutely continuous be
suppressed? Moreover, consider a Sobolev inner product of the form
N
=
p (k) ( )q (k) ( ) dk ( ) + p(Z)Aq(Z) ,
p, q
S
k=0
where
p(Z) = p(z1 ), . . . , p (d1 ) (z1 ), p(z2 ), . . . , p (d2 ) (z2 ), . . . , p(zm ), . . . , p (dm ) (zm ) ,
zi , i = 1, . . . , m, and A is a hermitian semi positive definite matrix of order M = m + m
i=1 di . Under what
assumptions can we obtain theorems similar to those above for the corresponding sequence of Sobolev orthogonal
polynomials? How does the appearance of derivatives of order < N in the discrete part affect the results?
