Symmetric Truncated Freud polynomials
Abstract
We define the family of symmetric truncated Freud polynomials $P_n(x;z)$, orthogonal with respect to the linear functional $\mathbf{u}$ defined by \begin{equation*} \langle \mathbf{u}, p(x)\rangle = \int_{-z}^z p(x)e^{-x^4}dx, \quad p\in \mathbb{P}, \quad z>0. \end{equation*} The semiclassical character of $P_n (x; z)$ as polynomials of class $4$ is stated. As a consequence, several properties of $P_n (x; z)$ concerning the coefficients $\gamma_n (z)$ in the three-term recurrence relation they satisfy as well as the moments and the Stieltjes function of $\mathbf{u}$ are studied. Ladder operators associated with such a linear functional and the holonomic equation that the polynomials $P_n (x; z)$ satisfy are deduced. Finally, an electrostatic interpretation of the zeros of such polynomials and their dynamics in terms of the parameter $z$ are given.
