Uniform Asymptotics of Orthogonal Polynomials Arising from Coherent States

In this paper, we study a family of orthogonal polynomials {ϕn(z)} arising from nonlinear coherent states in quantum optics. Based on the three-term recurrence relation only, we obtain a uniform asymptotic expansion of ϕn(z) as the polynomial degree n tends to infinity. Our asymptotic results sugges...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we study a family of orthogonal polynomials {ϕn(z)} arising from nonlinear coherent states in quantum optics. Based on the three-term recurrence relation only, we obtain a uniform asymptotic expansion of ϕn(z) as the polynomial degree n tends to infinity. Our asymptotic results suggest that the weight function associated with the polynomials has an unusual singularity, which has never appeared for orthogonal polynomials in the Askey scheme. Our main technique is the Wang and Wong's difference equation method. In addition, the limiting zero distribution of the polynomials ϕn(z) is provided.
