Abstract:
The techniques of scattering theory are used to study polynomials orthogonal on a segment of the real line. Instead of applying these techniques to the usual three-term recurrence formula, we derive a set of two two-term recurrence formulas satisfied by these polynomials. One of the advantages of these new recurrence formulas is that the Jost function is related, in the limit as $n \to \infty$, to the solution of one of the recurrence formulas with the boundary conditions given at $n = 0$. In this paper we investigate the properties of the Jost function and the spectral function assuming the coefficients in the recurrence formulas converge at a particular rate.References
