Jacobi-Sobolev orthogonal polynomials: asymptotics for \(N\)-coherence of measures (Q535505)

The paper is devoted to study some properties of the Jacobi-Sobolev orthogonal polynomials, which are orthogonal with respect to a Sobolev-type inner product of the following type: \(\langle f,g \rangle= \langle f,g \rangle_1+ \lambda \langle f',g' \rangle_2\), where \(\lambda >0\) and \(\langle f,g \rangle_1=\int_{-1}^1 f(x) g(x) (1-x)^{\alpha} (1+x)^{\beta} dx\), \(\langle f,g \rangle_2=\int_{-1}^1 f(x) g(x) (1-x)^{\alpha+1} (1+x)^{\beta +1}/ (\Pi_{k=1}^M| x- \xi_k |^{N_k+1}) dx+ \sum_{k=1}^M \sum_{i=0}^{N_k} M_{k,i}f^{(i)}(\xi_k) g^{(i)}(\xi_k)\), with \(\alpha, \beta >-1, | \xi_k | >1\) and \(M_{k,i} >0\), for all \(k,i\). The authors prove that, like for the classical Jacobi-polynomials, the Jacobi-Sobolev orthogonal polynomials attain the maximum in \([-1,1]\) at the end points. They deduce a Mehler-Heine-type formula for the Jacobi-Sobolev orthogonal polynomials and their derivatives and they also give the inner strong asymptotics on \((-1,1)\) and a sharp estimate for the Sobolev norms of the Jacobi-Sobolev polynomials. Finally, they present a necessary condition for the norm convergence of partial sums of the Fourier expression in terms of the Jacobi polynomials.
