Szegő-type asymptotics for ray sequences of Frobenius-Padé approximants

Abstract

Let $\widehatσ$ be a Cauchy transform of a possibly complex-valued Borel measure $σ$ and $\{p_n\}$ be a system of orthonormal polynomials with respect to a measure $μ$, $\mathrm{supp}(μ)\cap\mathrm{supp}(σ)=\varnothing$. An $(m,n)$-th Frobenius-Padé approximant to $\widehatσ$ is a rational function $P/Q$, $\mathrm{deg}(P)\leq m$, $\mathrm{deg}(Q)\leq n$, such that the first $m+n+1$ Fourier coefficients of the linear form $Q\widehatσ-P$ vanish when the form is developed into a series with respect to the polynomials $p_n$. We investigate the convergence of the Frobenius-Padé approximants to $\widehatσ$ along ray sequences $\frac n{n+m+1}\to c>0$, $n-1\leq m$, when $μ$ and $σ$ are supported on intervals on the real line and their Radon-Nikodym derivatives with respect to the arcsine distribution of the respective interval are holomorphic functions.
