Extract

Expansions in series of functions are one of the most important tools of the applied mathematician, particularly expansions in series of the classical orthogonal polynomials, e.g. Laguerre, Jacobi and Hermite polynomials. In applied problems, the uniqueness of the particular expansion is usually intrinsic to the analysis, and often implicitly assumed. Indeed, in those cases where the functions in the series are orthogonal, uniqueness can often be proved by an argument that runs as follows. Let {φn(x)} (n = 0, 1, 2, …) be a sequence of functions orthogonal with respect to the weight function ρ(x) over the interval [0, 1], and suppose that

the series being boundedly convergent for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.
