Asymptotics on Laguerre or Hermite polynomial expansions and their applications in Gauss quadrature (Q432395)

The author studies the expansion of a function \(f\) of finite regularity in terms of Laguerre and Hermite orthogonal polynomials. More precisely, for the Laguerre and Hermite polynomial series, he deduces bounds for the coefficients of the expansions and for the error of the \(N\)-term approximation. Then, these formulas are applied for establishing error bounds for Gauss-Laguerre, Radau-Laguerre and Gauss-Hermite quadratures.
