Calculation of zeros of orthogonal polynomials. (Russian. English summary) Zbl 1012.65507
Summary: We present an algorithm that makes it possible to find the zeros of classical higher-order orthogonal polynomials. The method is based on the relationship between the zeros of these polynomials and the eigenvalues of tridiagonal symmetric matrices of a special form. To increase the accuracy of calculation we use an additional iteration. We give computational formulas for Jacobi, Lagrange and Hermite polynomials.
