Abstract

In this paper we prove that classical discrete orthogonal polynomials (Hahn polynomials on an equidistant grid with unit weights) of high degrees have extremely small values near the endpoints (we call this property “rapid decay near the endpoints”) but extremely large values between these grid points and their roots are very close to the grid points near the endpoints. These results imply important general boundary effects for stable linear polynomial filters (we call this property “rapid boundary attenuation”).Our results give interesting examples of nontrivial asymptotics of practically important solutions of special second-order linear recurrencies with polynomial coefficients studied by M.Petkovšek; to his memory we dedicate this paper.
