Abstract:

We explore orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle whose Schur parameters are $\{c\alpha ^n\}_{n=1}^\infty$, where $0<|\alpha |,|c|<1$. Specifically, we derive two different generating functions. The first can be represented explicitly in terms of sums of a $q$-hypergeometric type and used to derive explicitly the underlying orthogonal polynomials, while the second obeys a functional differential equation and can be used to determine the asymptotic behaviour of these polynomials. Extending these constructs to orthogonal polynomials of the second kind, we are able to construct the Carathéodory function and examine the underlying orthogonality measure.
