Abstract

Two uniform asymptotic expansions are obtained for the Pollaczek polynomials Pn(cos θ a, b). One is for θ ∈ (0, δ/√n], 0 a+b, in terms of elementary functions and in descending powers of √n. The other is for θ ∈ [δ/√n, π/2], in terms of a special function closely related to the modified parabolic cylinder functions, in descending powers of n. This interval contains a turning point and all possible zeros of Pn (cos θ) in θ ∈ (0, π/2].
