Abstract:
We consider the problem of approximation of discrete functions $f=f(x)$ defined on the set
$\Omega_\delta=
\{0,\, \delta,\, 2\delta, \,\ldots\}$, where $\delta=\frac{1}{N}$, $N>0$, using the Fourier sums in the modified
Meixner polynomials $M_{n, N}^\alpha(x)=M_n^\alpha(Nx)$$(n = 0, 1, \dots)$, which for $\alpha> -1$
constitute an orthogonal system on the grid $\Omega_{\delta}$ with the weight function
$\displaystyle w(x) = e^{-x}\frac{\Gamma(Nx+\alpha + 1)}{\Gamma(Nx + 1)}$.
We study the approximative properties of partial sums of Fourier series in polynomials $M_{n, N}^\alpha(x)$,
with particular attention paid to estimating their Lebesgue function.
