On a two-dimensional analogue of the orthogonal Jacobi polynomials of a discrete variable
F. M. Korkmasov Institute of Geothermy Problems
Abstract:
It is shown that if
$P_i^{\alpha,\beta}(x)$ (
$\alpha,\beta>-1$,
$i=0,1,2,\dots$) are classical Jacobi polynomials, the system of polynomials of two variables $\{\Psi_{mn}^{\alpha,\beta}(x,y)\}_{m,n=0}^r=\{P_m^{\alpha,\beta}(x)P_n^{\alpha,\beta}(y)\}_{m,n=0} ^r$ (
$r=m+n\leq N-1$) is an orthogonal system on the grid $\Omega_{N\times N}=\{(x_i,y_i)\}_{i,j=0}^N\subset[-1,1]^2$, where
$x_i$, and
$y_j$ are zeros of the Jacobi polynomial
$P_N^{\alpha,\beta}(x)$. Given an arbitrary continuous function
$f(x,y)$ on the square
$[-1,1]^2$, we construct two-dimensional discrete partial Fourier–Jacobi sums of the rectangular type
$S_{m,n,N}^{\alpha,\beta}(f;x,y)$ over the orthonormal system $\{\widehat\Psi_{mn}^{\alpha,\beta}(x,y)\}_{m,n=0}^r$. Estimates of the Lebesgue function
$L_{m,n,N}^{\alpha,\beta}(f;x,y)$ for the discrete Fourier–Jacobi sums
$S_{m,n,N}^{\alpha,\beta}(f;x,y)$ depending on the position of a point
$(x,y)$ on the square
$[-1,1]^2$ are obtained.Besides, an application of the orthogonal Jacobi polynomials of a discrete variable
$\Psi_{mn}^{\alpha,\beta}(x,y)$ to some applied problems of geophysics is considered.
