Special series in Laguerre polynomials and their approximation properties

Resumo

We consider special series in the classical Laguerre polynomials coinciding in particular cases with the mixed series associated to Laguerre polynomials, introduced by the author previously, as well as Fourier–Sobolev series in Sobolev orthogonal Laguerre polynomials. We address the questions of uniform convergence of these series on a finite segment of the positive half-axis. We study the approximation properties of partial sums of special series on the positive half-axis, with particular attention paid to estimating their Lebesgue function.
