Abstract
General methods for relating the asymptotic behaviour of the recurrence coefficients of orthogonal polynomials and properties of the corresponding weight functions are described and discussed. The cases of a function with algebraic singularities on a single bounded interval and a function positive on a finite set of bounded intervals are studied. Application to weight function reconstruction from moments is considered.
