Abstract

We study the interlacing properties of the zeros of orthogonal polynomials p"n and r"m, m=n or n-1 where {p"n}"n"="1^~ and {r"m}"m"="1^~ are different sequences of orthogonal polynomials. The results obtained extend a conjecture by Askey, that the zeros of Jacobi polynomials p"n=P"n^(^@a^,^@b^) and r"n=P"n^(^@c^,^@b^) interlace when @a
