Asymptotic Properties of Some Freud Polynomials

We study the asymptotic properties of monic orthogonal polynomials (OPs) with respect to some Freud weights when the degree of the polynomial tends to infinity, including the asymptotics of the recurrence coefficients, the nontrivial leading coefficients of the monic OPs, the associated Hankel determinants and the squares of $L^2$-norm of the monic OPs. These results are derived from the combination of the ladder operator approach, Dyson’s Coulomb fluid approach and some recent results in the literature.
