Abstract

We establish Mehler-Heine-type formulas for orthogonal polynomials related to rational modifications of Hermite weight on the real line and for Hermite-Sobolev orthogonal polynomials. These formulas give us the asymptotic behaviour of the smallest zeros of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials. Furthermore, we solve a conjecture posed in a previous paper about the asymptotics of the smallest zeros of the Hermite-Sobolev polynomials as well as an open problem concerning the asymptotics of these Sobolev orthogonal polynomials.
