TLDR
In this article, asymptotic results for second-order linear difference equations containing a parameter (or, equivalently, three-term recurrence relations) are reviewed for solutions to these equations when the parameter is fixed or varying in an interval containing a turning point or a transition point.
Abstract
In this paper, we review the asymptotic results that are now available for second-order linear difference equations containing a parameter (or, equivalently, three-term recurrence relations) These include asymptotic expansions for solutions to these equations when the parameter is fixed or varying in an interval containing a turning point or a transition point Also presented is a method for deriving asymptotic approximations for solutions when the initial values are given These results are particularly useful when a given system of orthogonal polynomials (i) does not satisfy any second-order differential equation, (ii) does not have any integral representation, and (iii) is not even associated with a unique (or any) weight function

Plancherel-Rotach Asymptotics of Second-Order Difference Equations with Linear Coefficients

TL;DR: A complete Plancherel–Rotach asymptotic analysis of polynomials that satisfy a second-order difference equation with linear coefficients is provided and it is remarkable that the zero distributions of the polynomers may locate on the imaginary line or even on a sideways Y-shape curve in some cases.

Resurrecting the asymptotics of linear recurrences

TL;DR: In this paper, the asymptotics of the solutions of linear recurrence equations have been studied for combinatorists and computer scientists, and the authors present a theory in a concise form and give a number of examples that should enable the practicing combinatorist and computer scientist to include this important technique in their toolkit.

General theory of linear difference equations

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that rational functions of e27r8-lX are a part of the monodromic group constants of an ordinary linear differential equation and that there exists a purely Riemannian theory of linear differellce equations.
