On spectral polynomials of the Heun equation. I
Result description
The classical Heun equation has the form {Q(z)d(2)/dz(2) + P(z)d/dz + V(z)} S(z) = 0. where Q(z) is a cubic complex polynomial, P(z) is a polynomial of degree at most 2 and V(z) is at most linear. In the second half of the nineteenth century E. Heine andT. Stieltjes initiated the study of the set of all V(z) for which the above equation has a polynomial solution S(z) of a given degree n. The main goal of the present paper is to study the union of the roots of the latter set of V(z)'s when n -> infinity. We provide an explicit description of this limiting set and give a substantial amount of preliminary and additional information about it obtained using a certain technique developed by A.B.J. Kuijlaars and W. Van Assche.
