Global Asymptotics of Stieltjes–Wigert Polynomials

Research output: Chapter in book/report/conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Asymptotic formulas are derived for the Stieltjes–Wigert polynomials Sn(z;q) in the complex plane as the degree n grows to infinity. One formula holds in any disc centered at the origin, and the other holds outside any smaller disc centered at the origin; the two regions together cover the whole plane. In each region, the q-Airy function Aq(z) is used as the approximant. For real x > 1/4, a limiting relation is also established between the q-Airy function Aq(x) and the ordinary Airy function Ai(x) as q → 1.
