Abstract

Approximation Coefficients Fourier Bessel transformations Fourier transformations Hypergeometric functions Laplace transformation Sine function Polynomials
Introduction. The symmetric Jaeobi polynomials Pn"'a)(x), orthogonal on the interval —1 S i¿ 1, are widely used for approximating functions, but the integral which defines the coefficients for the expansion of a function g(x) in these polynomials usually is quite difficult to evaluate. The problem is simplified if g(x) is an integral transform of the Fourier or Laplace type, since the kernel of the transform generates a series of the above polynomials. The coefficients in such cases are found to be Hankel transforms, which are widely tabulated.
