Rational Chebyshev example; $n \gt 1$ odd. weights: $w_1 = (1 - x^2)^{-1/2}$, $w_2 = (1 - x)^{1/2}(1 + x)^{-1/2}$, $w_3 = (1 - x^2)^{1/2}$ Parameter $\beta$ (qORF) relates to parameter $\tau$ (pORF). RGQ nodes real and simple if $\tau\in \mathbb{T}\setminus\{-1\}$. For $\beta\in [-1,1]$, the qORF nodes are in $[-1,1]$. $\rho^{[i\pm]}$ refers to RQF with pORF node in $\pm1$ for weight $w_i$. $\beta^{[i\pm]}$ refers to RQF with qORF node in $\pm1$ for weight $w_i$. |
In general, the zeros of an orthogonal rational function (ORF) on a subset of the real line, with poles among $\{\alpha_1\ldots,\alpha_n\}\subset(\mathbb{C}_0\cup\{\infty\}$), are not all real (unless $\alpha_n$ is real), and hence, they are not suitable to construct a rational Gaussian quadrature rule (RGQ). For this reason, the zeros of a so-called quasi-ORF (qORF) or a so-called para-ORF (pORF) are used instead. These zeros depend on one single parameter $\tau\in(\mathbb{C}\cup\{\infty\})$, which can always be chosen in such a way that the zeros are all real and simple. In this paper we provide a generalized eigenvalue problem to compute the zeros of a quasi-ORF and the corresponding weights in the RGQ. First, we study the connection between qORFs, pORFs and ORFs. Next, a condition is given for the parameter $\tau$ so that the zeros are all real and simple. Finally, some illustrative and numerical examples are given.
