Abstract

We prove that the zeros of polynomials of consecutive degree in the sequences {r"n}"n"="1^~ and {s"n}"n"="1^~ are interlacing for n@?N, n=1 wherer"n=p"n+a"nq"n,s"n=p"n+b"nq"n"-"1,a"n,b"n0,a"n,b"n@?R and {p"n}"n"="1^~ and {q"n}"n"="1^~ are different sequences of Laguerre (respectively Jacobi) polynomials.
