RT Journal Article T1 Rational approximation and Sobolev-type orthogonality A1 Díaz González, Abel A1 Pijeira Cabrera, Héctor Esteban A1 Pérez Yzquierdo, Ignacio AB In this paper, we study the sequence of orthogonal polynomials {Sn}∞n=0with respect to theSobolev-type inner product⟨ f, g⟩ = ∫ 1−1f (x)g(x) dµ(x) +∑Nj=1η jf(d j)(c j)g(d j)(c j)where µ is a finite positive Borel measure whose support supp (µ) ⊂ [−1, 1] contains an infinite set ofpoints, η j > 0, N, d j ∈ Z+ and {c1, . . . , cN } ⊂ R \ [−1, 1]. Under some restriction of order in thediscrete part of ⟨·, ·⟩, we prove that for sufficiently large n the zeros of Sn are real, simple, n − N ofthem lie on (−1, 1) and each of the mass points c j “attracts” one of the remaining N zeros.The sequences of associated polynomials {S[k]n }∞n=0are defined for each k ∈ Z+. If µ is in the Nevaiclass M(0, 1), we prove an analogue of Markov’s Theorem on rational approximation to Markov typefunctions and prove that convergence takes place with geometric speed.
