Elementary ratio and zero limits for varying recurrences
K. Castillo, S. Yakubovich
Two theorems of Loureiro and Van Assche on ratio and zero limits provided part of the motivation for this note. Their elementary nature permits direct proofs; Appendix B gives comp…
Complete Bernstein functions and scaled ultraspherical zeros
K. Castillo
Let denote the positive zeros, in decreasing order, of the ultraspherical polynomial , , with the reduced limiting interpretation at specified bel…
Equal-Phase Monotonicity for Weighted Jacobi-Radau Functions and Jacobi Lebesgue Constants
K. Castillo, P. -C. Hang
For the Jacobi family with parameters , , we prove a continuous comparison theorem for the associated weighted Jacobi--Radau functions. When two consecutive funct…
A proof of Askey's convexity conjecture
K. Castillo, S. Yakubovich
For , let be the Bessel function of the first kind and let be its second positive zero. Define by $$ \int_0^{j_{α,2}}u^{-β(α)}J_α(u)\,du=0.…
A proof of Gautschi's conjecture on subrange Jacobi polynomials
V. Botta, K. Castillo, L. Tertuliano da Silva
Let be the monic polynomial of degree orthogonal on , , with respect to the Jacobi weight , where . Gautschi conjectured that \[…
A solution to Meneguette's polynomial problem
K. Castillo
In 1979, Jeltsch [Numer. Math. 32 (1979), 167-181] conjectured that every zero-stable Brown method is stiffly stable. For Brown methods, Meneguette subsequently reduced the…
