Entropic functionals of Laguerre and Gegenbauer polynomials with large parameters
read the original abstract
The determination of the physical entropies (R\'enyi, Shannon, Tsallis) of high-dimensional quantum systems subject to a central potential requires the knowledge of the asymptotics of some power and logarithmic integral functionals of the hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials which control the wavefunctions of the stationary states. For the $D$-dimensional hydrogenic and oscillator-like systems, the wavefunctions of the corresponding bound states are controlled by the Laguerre ($\mathcal{L}_{m}^{(\alpha)}(x)$) and Gegenbauer ($\mathcal{C}^{(\alpha)}_{m}(x)$) polynomials in both position and momentum spaces, where the parameter $\alpha$ linearly depends on $D$. In this work we study the asymptotic behavior as $\alpha \to \infty$ of the associated entropy-like integral functionals of these two families of hypergeometric polynomials.
