Boundary asymptotics for orthogonal rational functions on the unit circle

Abstract

Let w(θ) be a positive weight function on the unit circle of the complex plane. For a sequence of points {αk}k=1 included in a compact subset of the unit disk, we consider the orthogonal rational functions φn that are obtained by orthogonalization of the sequence {1,z/π1,z22,...} where πk(z)= ∏j=1k (1-α*jz), with respect to the inner product

We discuss in this paper the behaviour of φn(z) for |z|=1 and n → ∞ under certain conditions. The main condition on the weight is that it satisfies a Lipschitz-Dini condition and that it is bounded away from zero. This generalizes a theorem given by Szegö in the polynomial case, that is when all αk=0.
