Abstract

We study Nevai's condition that for orthogonal polynomials on the real line, K_n(x, x_0)^2K_n(x_0, x_0) ^(−1) dρ(x) → δ_(x0), where K_n is the Christoffel–Darboux kernel. We prove that it holds for the Nevai class of a finite gap set uniformly on the spectrum, and we provide an example of a regular measure on [−2, 2] where it fails on an interval.
