Abstract

The theory of bi-orthogonal polynomials is exploited to investigate the location of zeros of truncated expansions in orthogonal polynomials. It turns out that, subject to additional conditions, these zeros can be confined to certain real intervals. Two general techniques are being used: the first depends on a theorem that links strict sign consistency of a generating function to loci of zeros and the second consists of re-expression of transformations from [3] in an orthogonal basis.
