On Representation of a Solution to the Cauchy Problem by a Fourier Series in Sobolev-Orthogonal Polynomials Generated by Laguerre Polynomials

We consider the problem of representing a solution to the Cauchy problem for an ordinary differential equation as a Fourier series in polynomials l _r,k ^α (x) (k = 0, 1,...) that are Sobolev-orthonormal with respect to the inner product

$$leftlangle {f,g} rightrangle = sumlimits_{v = 0}^{r - 1} {{f^{(v)}}(0){g^{(v)}}} (0) + intlimits_0^infty {{f^{(r)}}(t)} {g^{(r)}}(t){t^alpha }{e^{ - t}}dt$$

, and generated by the classical orthogonal Laguerre polynomials L _k ^α (x) (k = 0, 1,...). The polynomials l _r,k ^α (x) are represented as expressions containing the Laguerre polynomials L _n ^α?r (x). An explicit form of the polynomials l _r,k+r ^α (x) is established as an expansion in the powers x ^r+l , l = 0,..., k. These results can be used to study the asymptotic properties of the polynomials l _r,k ^α (x) as k→∞and the approximation properties of the partial sums of Fourier series in these polynomials.
