Abstract

Let {Qn(α,β)(x)}n0 denote the sequence of polynomials orthogonal with respect to the non-discrete Sobolev inner product f,g=-11f(x)g(x)dμα,β(x)+λ-11f(x)g(x)dμα+1,β(x), where λ>0 and dμα,β(x)=(1-x)α(1+x)βdx with α>-1, β>-1. In this paper, we prove a Cohen type inequality for the Fourier expansion in terms of the orthogonal polynomials {Qn(α,β)(x)}n. Necessary conditions for the norm convergence of such a Fourier expansion are given. Finally, the failure of almost everywhere convergence of the Fourier expansion of a function in terms of the orthogonal polynomials associated with the above Sobolev inner product is proved.
