Asymptotic upper bounds for the entropy of orthogonal polynomials in the Szegő class

Abstract

We give an asymptotic upper bound as $n\to \infty$ for the entropy integral $$E_n(w)=-\int p_n^2(x)\log (p_n^2(x))w(x)dx,$$ where $p_n$ is the $n$th degree orthonormal polynomial with respect to a weight $w(x)$ on $[-1,1]$ which belongs to the Szegő class. We also study two functionals closely related to the entropy integral. First, their asymptotic behavior is completely described for weights $w$ in the Bernstein class. Then, as for the entropy, we obtain asymptotic upper bounds for these two functionals when $w(x)$ belongs to the Szegő class. In each case, we give conditions for these upper bounds to be attained.
