The leading behavior is well known from Perron and Mehler-Heine formulas, but higher order coefficients, which are important in the context of Krall-Laguerre or Laguerre-Sobolev-type orthogonal polynomials, are notoriously difficult to compute. In this paper, we propose the use of an alternative expansion, due to Buchholz, in terms of Bessel functions of the first kind. The coefficients in this expansion can be obtained in a straightforward way using symbolic computation. As an application, we derive extra terms in the asymptotic expansion of ratios of Laguerre polynomials in C \ [0, infinity).14application/pdfeng© Elsevier 2013Atribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 EspañaLaguerre orthogonal polynomialsAsymptotic expansionsresearch articleMatemáticas10.1016/j.jmaa.2013.02.039open access4772486Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications403AR/0000013205
