Asymptotic analysis of a family of Sobolev orthogonal polynomials related to the generalized Charlier polynomials

Abstract

In this paper we tackle the asymptotic behavior of a family of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a nonstandard inner product involving the forward operator {\Delta}. Concretely, we treat the generalized Charlier weights in the framework of {\Delta}--Sobolev orthogonality. We obtain an asymptotic expansion for this orthogonal polynomials where the falling factorial polynomials play an important role.
