Abstract

In this lecture we discuss properties of zeros of orthogonal polynomials. We review properties that have been used to derive bounds for the zeros of orthogonal polynomials. Topics to be covered include Markov’s theorem on monotonicity of zeros and its generalisations, the proof of a conjecture by Askey and its extensions, interlacing properties of zeros, Sturm’s comparison theorem and convexity of zeros.
