Examples are given with error estimates for three cases of the Jacobi polynomials, three cases of the Laguerre polynomials, and the Hermite polynomials. In the case of the Chebyshev polynomials, exact errors are given.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-09-19T18:16:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "classical orthogonal polynomials", "unified approach", "energy minimization problem", "exact errors", "chebyshev polynomials" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
