Spectral convergence for orthogonal polynomials on triangles (Q2391808)

The authors study the behavior of orthogonal polynomials on triangles and their coefficients in the context of spectral approximations of partial differential equations. In these spectral approximations one studies series expansions \(u=\sum^\infty_{k=0} \widehat u_k\phi_k\), where the \(\phi_k\) are orthogonal polynomials. Their results show that for any function \(u\in C^\infty\) the series expansion converges faster than with polynomial order.
