Abstract
We consider the little q-Jacobi polynomials of various degrees in quasi-orthogonal sequences \(\left \{p_{n}(z;a,b\vert q)\right \}_{n=0}^{\infty }\) characterized by aq2,bq ∈ (0,1) with aq > 1 and study the interlacing properties of their zeros. The interlacing of the zeros of the quasi-orthogonal polynomials pn(z;a,b|q) and the orthogonal polynomials pm(z;aqk,b|q), \(m,n\in \mathbb {N}, k\in \{1,2\}\) is discussed. We derive new bounds for the least zero of pn(z;a,b|q) and compare their limiting cases to those of the quasi-orthogonal Jacobi polynomials due to Driver and Jordaan (SIGMA 12, 042, 13 pages 2016).
