Three theorems are given for the integral zeros of Krawtchouk polynomials. First, five new infinite families of integral zeros for the binary (q = 2) Krawtchouk polynomials are found. Next, a lower bound is given for the next integral zero for the degree four polynomial. Finally, three new infinite families in q are found for the degree three polynomials. The techniques used are from elementary...

We use Turán type inequalities to give new non-asymptotic bounds on the extreme zeros of orthogonal polynomials in terms of the coefficients of their three term recurrence. Most of our results deal with symmetric polynomials satisfying the three term recurrence pk+1 = xpk − ckpk−1, with a nondecreasing sequence {ck}. As a special case they include a non-asymptotic version of Máté, Nevai and Tot...

We give a survey concerning both very classical and recent results on the electrostatic interpretation of the zeros of some well-known families of polynomials, and the interplay between these models and the asymptotic distribution of their zeros when the degree of the polynomials tends to infinity. The leading role is played by the differential equation satisfied by these polynomials. Some new ...

Estimates for products of the zeros of polynomials and entire functions are derived. By these estimates, new upper bounds for the counting function are suggested. In appropriate situations we improve the Jensen inequality for the counting functions and the Mignotte inequality for products of the zeros of polynomials.

A factorization theorem is proved for a class of generalized exponential polynomials having all but finitely many of integer zeros belong to a finite union of arithmetic progressions. This theorem extends a similar result for ordinary exponential polynomials due to H. N. Shapiro in 1959. The factorization makes apparent those factors corresponding to all zeros in such a union.

Using chain sequences we formulate a procedure to find upper (lower) bounds for the largest (smallest) zero of orthogonal polynomials in terms of their recurrence coefficients. We also apply our method to derive bounds for extreme zeros of the Laguerre, associated Laguerre, Meixner, and MeixnerPollaczek polynomials. In addition, we consider bounds for the extreme zeros of Jacobi polynomials of ...

The asymptotic contracted measure of zeros of a large class of orthogonal polynomials is explicitly given in the form of a Lauricella function. The polynomials are defined by means of a three-term recurrence relation whose coefficients may be unbounded but vary regularly and have a different behaviour for even and odd indices. Subclasses of systems of orthogonal polynomials having their contrac...

Recently, several generalizations of the notion of orthogonal polynomials appeared in the literature. The aim of this paper is to study their zeros. Let P k be the unique polynomial of exact degree k such that Z b a x i P k (x) dd(x) = 0; for i = 0; : : : ; k ? 1 where is a positive Borel measure on a; b]. P k is the polynomial of degree k belonging to the family of orthogonal polynomials on a;...
