For the polynomials $\mathop{C^{{(\lambda)}}_{{n}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x\right)$ and $\mathop{P^{{(\lambda)}}_{{n}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x;\phi\right)$ see §§18.3 and 18.19, respectively.

See Bo and Wong (1996) for an asymptotic expansion of $\mathop{P^{{(\frac{1}{2})}}_{{n}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(\mathop{\cos\/}\nolimits(% n^{{-\frac{1}{2}}}\theta);a,b\right)$ as $n\to\infty$ , with and fixed. This expansion is in terms of the Airy function $\mathop{\mathrm{Ai}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x\right)$ and its derivative (§9.2), and is uniform in any compact $\theta$ -interval in $(0,\infty)$ . Also included is an asymptotic approximation for the zeros of $\mathop{P^{{(\frac{1}{2})}}_{{n}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(\mathop{\cos\/}\nolimits(% n^{{-\frac{1}{2}}}\theta);a,b\right)$ .
