Computing orthogonal polynomials in Sobolev spaces (Q1899117)

Two methods are developed for computing the coefficients of polynomials orthogonal with respect to an inner product of Sobolev type. The one is based on the Chebyshev algorithm, and the other is a generation of the Stieltjes procedure, expressing the desired coefficients in terms of a Sobolev inner product involving the orthogonal polynomials in question. With numerical experiments the authors conclude that a version of the Stieltjes algorithm is appropriate for orthogonal polynomials of Sobolev type.
