Notes on generalized Fourier series with application to gravitational field determination

Let{(}φ<sub>n</sub>(x)} be an orthonormal system in the set of Lebesgue square integrable functions L². Let f𝜖L². The generalized Fourier series of f with respect to {(}φ<sub>n</sub>(x)} is the series ∑<sub>n=0</sub><sup>∞</sup> (f, φ<sub>n</sub>) φ<sub>n</sub>(x), where (f, φ<sub>n</sub>) is the inner product of the functions f an φ<sub>n</sub>. The e existence of a complete orthonormal system in L² is proven. Conditions for convergence of the generalized Fourier series are presented. A discussion of orthogonal polynomials with special emphasis on the Jacobi polynomial systems is presented. A least squares, differential correction, discrete observation procedure is employed to solve the potential equation with boundary conditions in tenns of three special Jacobi systems. / M.S.
