Legendre polynomials of the second kind, Fourier series and Lagrange interpolation (Q2564273)

The distribution of the zeros of Jacobi polynomials of the second kind is studied. Two-sided estimates for the corresponding Christoffel functions are established. The expansion of a function in series of Jacobi polynomials of the second kind in the weighted \(L^p\) spaces, with weight of Ditzian-Totik type, is studied. A theorem for convergence of the Lagrange interpolation based on the zeros of Jacobi polynomials of the second kind \(P_m (w^{\alpha, \beta})\) in \(L^p\) spaces is given. The estimates for convergence of the corresponding Lagrange interpolation to the function \(f\) is given by the best polynomials (one-sided or usual) approximation in weighted \(L^p\) spaces. By the known recursion correlations between \(P_m (w^{\alpha, \beta})\) and \(P_m (\sigma^{\alpha, \beta})\) with Jacobi weight \(\sigma^{\alpha, \beta}\), possibilities of the various applications of the obtained results are concluded.
