Contents Basic theory: Orthogonal polynomials -- Properties of orthogonal polynomials -- Three-term recurrence relation -- Quadrature rules -- Classical orthogonal polynomials -- Kernel polynomials -- Sobolev orthogonal polynomials -- Orthogonal polynomials on the semicircle -- Notes to Chapter 1 -- Computational methods: Moment-based methods -- Discretization methods -- Computing Cauchy integrals of orthogonal polynomials -- Modification algorithms -- Computing Sobolev orthogonal polynomials -- Notes to Chapter 2 -- Applications: Quadrature -- Least squares approximation -- Moment-preserving spline approximation -- Slowly convergent series -- Notes to Chapter 3
Summary Orthogonal polynomials are a widely used class of mathematical functions that are helpful in the solution of many important technical problems. This book provides, for the first time, a systematic development of computational techniques, including a suite of computer programs in Matlab downloadable from the Internet, to generate orthogonal polynomials of a great variety
