Abstract
The classical least squares solutions in C[−1,1] in terms of linear combinations of ultraspherical polynomials are extended in
order to estimate power series on (−1,1). Approximate rates of
uniform and pointwise convergence are obtained, which correspond to
recent results of U. Luther and G. Mastroianni on Fourier
projections with respect to Jacobi polynomials.
