“…where x * > 0 is the right endpoint of the support of µ r,r (as the measure is the free multiplicative convolution of compactly supported measures on the positive real axis, x * has to be finite). Using properties of the S-transform from free probability theory it can be derived (see, e.g., [13]) that the function w(z) = zF (z) satisfies the algebraic equation Up to a scaling in the argument, this is the equation for the Stieltjes transforms in the case s = 0, which coincides with the Fuss-Catalan case. It is known (see, e.g., [11,21]) that the boundary values of v on the branch cut (0, x * ) can be stated explicitly by This equation is of a similar type as (3.8), which enables us to find a functional relation between G and the Stieltjes transform F of µ r,r in terms of a rational transformation F (z) = (r + 1)2 r G 2 r+1 z 1 + (r − 1)2 r zG (2 r+1 z) .…”
