A new and sharper bound for Legendre expansion of differentiable functions

Numerical Analysis 2018-06-18 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we provide a new and sharper bound for the Legendre coefficients of differentiable functions and then derive a new error bound of the truncated Legendre series in the uniform norm. The key idea of proof relies on integration by parts and a sharp Bernstein-type inequality for the Legendre polynomial. An illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the sharpness of our new results.
