jacobi.p.inner.products: Inner products of Jacobi polynomials

In orthopolynom: Collection of Functions for Orthogonal and Orthonormal Polynomials

Inner products of Jacobi polynomials

Description

This function returns a vector with n + 1 elements containing the inner product of an order k Jacobi polynomial, P_k^{≤ft( {α ,β } \right)} ≤ft( x \right), with itself (i.e. the norm squared) for orders k = 0,\;1,\; … ,\;n .

Usage

jacobi.p.inner.products(n,alpha,beta)

Arguments

n	integer value for the highest polynomial order
alpha	numeric value for the first polynomial parameter
beta	numeric value for the first polynomial parameter

Details

The formula used to compute the innser products is as follows.

h_n = ≤ft\langle {P_n^{≤ft( {α ,β } \right)} |P_n^{≤ft( {α ,β } \right)} } \right\rangle = \frac{{2^{α + β + 1} }} {{2\,n + α + β + 1}}\frac{{Γ ≤ft( {n + α + 1} \right)\,Γ ≤ft( {n + β + 1} \right)}} {{n!\;Γ ≤ft( {n + α + β + 1} \right)}}.

Value

A vector with n + 1 elements

1	inner product of order 0 orthogonal polynomial
2	inner product of order 1 orthogonal polynomial

...

n+1	inner product of order n orthogonal polynomial
