RT Journal Article T1 Asymptotic behaviour of Sobolev-type orthogonal polynomials on a rectifiable Jordan arc A1 Branquinho, A. A1 Moreno, Ana F. A1 Marcellán Español, Francisco José AB Our object of study is the asymptotic behavior of the sequence of polynomials orthogonal with respect to the discrete Sobolev inner product $$\langle f, g \rangle = \int_{E} f(\xi) \overline{g(\xi)} \rho (\xi) \xi \xi f(Z) A g(Z)^H,$$ where $E$ is a rectifiable Jordan curve or arc in the complex plane $$f(Z) = (f(z_1), \ldots, f^{(l_1)}(z_1) , \ldots , f(z_m) , \ldots ,f^{(l_m)}(z_m)),$$ $A$ is an $M \times M$ Hermitian matrix, $M=l_{1} + \cdots + l_{m} + m$, $ denotes the arc length measure, $\rho$ is a nonnegative function on $E$ , and $z_{i} \in \Omega$, $i=1,2,\ldots,m$, where $\Omega$ is the exterior region to $E$.
