Abstract
The problem considered here is, given the coefficients in the recurrence formula for polynomials orthogonal on a segment of the real line, what can be said about the spectral function with respect to which they are orthogonal? The coefficients are assumed to converge at a particular rate and the consequences for the spectral function are found that are necessary and sufficient.
