On the generalized Euler-Frobenius polynomial

In this paper, the properties of the generalized Euler-Frobenius polynomial Πn(·, q) are studied. It is proved that its zeroes are separated by the factor q and their asymptotic behavior, as q → ∞, is given. As a consequence, it is shown that least squares spline approximation on a biinfinite geometric mesh can be bounded independently of the (local) mesh ratio q and that the norm of the inverse of the corresponding order kB-spline Gram matrix decreases monotonically to 2k − 1 for large q, as q → ∞.
