Jacobi-Sobolev Orthogonal Polynomials and Spectral Methods for Elliptic Boundary Value Problems

摘要

Generalized Jacobi polynomials with indexes α,β ∈ R are introduced and some basic properties are established.As examples of applications,the second-and fourth-order elliptic boundary value problems with Dirichlet or Robin boundary conditions are considered,and the generalized Jacobi spectral schemes are proposed.For the diagonalization of discrete systems,the Jacobi-Sobolev orthogonal basis functions are constructed,which allow the exact solutions and the approximate solutions to be represented in the forms of infinite and truncated Jacobi series.Error estimates are obtained and numerical results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and the spectral accuracy.
