This is the first book on constructive methods for, and
applications of orthogonal polynomials, and the first available
collection of relevant Matlab codes. The book begins with a concise
introduction to the theory of polynomials orthogonal on the real
line (or a portion thereof), relative to a positive measure of
integration. Topics which are particularly relevant to computation
are emphasized. The second chapter develops computational methods
for generating the coefficients in the basic three-term recurrence
relation. The methods are of two kinds: moment-based methods and
discretization methods. The former are provided with a detailed
sensitivity analysis. Other topics addressed concern Cauchy
integrals of orthogonal polynomials and their computation, a new
discussion of modification algorithms, and the generation of
Sobolev orthogonal polynomials. The final chapter deals with
selected applications: the numerical evaluation of integrals,
especially by Gauss-type quadrature methods, polynomial least
squares approximation, moment-preserving spline approximation, and
the summation of slowly convergent series. Detailed historic and
bibliographic notes are appended to each chapter. The book will be
of interest not only to mathematicians and numerical analysts, but
also to a wide clientele of scientists and engineers who perceive a
need for applying orthogonal polynomials.
