Christoffel functions for multiple orthogonal polynomials

Abstract: We study weak asymptotic behaviour of the Christoffel--Darboux kernel on the main diagonal corresponding to multiple orthogonal polynomials. We show that under some hypotheses the weak limit of $\tfrac{1}{n} K_n(x,x)\, d\mu$ is the same as the limit of the normalized zero counting measure of type II multiple orthogonal polynomials. We also study an extension of Nevai's operators to our context.
