Convergence rate for Chebyshev polynomials to approximate $\text{erf}(x)$ on a subset of $\mathbb{R}$

Let $[-\alpha, \alpha] \subset \mathbb{R}$, and let \begin{equation} \text{erf}(x) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}}\int_{0}^x e^{-t^2}dt. \end{equation} given projections of $\text{erf}(x)$ onto the first $k$ ...

How is the Chebyshev polynomial approximation defined when using the spectral method to numerically solve PDEs?

I am studying spectral methods for numerical solutions for PDEs. Currently, I am on a chapter that explains how to use Chebyshev polynomials to solve non-periodic boundary value problems. I understand ...

Coefficient of $x^n$ in Legendre series expansion

Suppose we are approximating a function $f$ with a Legendre series of order $N$, namely $$ f(x) \approx \sum_{n=0}^N c_n P_n(x) \equiv f_N(x) $$ where $P_n(x)$ is the $n^{th}$ Legendre polynomial and $...

Show that for Chebyshev polynomials satisfy $(1-x^2)T'_k + kxT_k -kT_{k-1} = 0$

$T_n(x)$ is the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. I was wondering how to show the following recurrence relationship: $$ (1-x^2)T'_k + kxT_k -kT_{k-1} = 0$$ This recurrence form also shows up as ...

How to show the approximation of $1-T_{1 / L}(1 / \delta)^{-2}$ when $L$ is large and $\delta$ is small?

I met this approximation problem in eq(2) of this paper, stating that the approximation is $\left(\frac{\log (2 / \delta)}{L}\right)^{2}$. As stated in the question, $T_L(x)$ is the $L_{th}$ Chebyshev ...

Reduced Chebyshev approximation?

Few days ago my teacher mentioned a method of approximation for a function. I think it was called "reduced chebyshev approximation", where you find the taylor series of degree $N$ then subtract from ...
