Abstract

Asymptotics of Hermite–Padé approximants of the first type for Weil functions of discrete Meixner measure and its derivative is studied. We describe a piecewise-analytic curve in the complex plane which attracts part of the zeros of the Meixner multiple orthogonal polynomials. This curve possesses a symmetry property in the equilibrium problem with an external field for logarithmic potential of vector measures with a constraint. Some connection between the considered Hermite–Padé approximants and the theory of Diophantine approximations is presented.
