Abstract

A new spectral method is built resorting to (0,2)(0,2) Jacobi polynomials. We describe the origin and the properties of these polynomials. This choice of polynomials is motivated by their orthogonality properties with the respect to the weight r2r^2 used in spherical geometry. New results about Jacobi-Gauss-Lobatto quadratures are proven, leading to a discrete Jacobi transform. Numerical tests for Poisson problems in a sphere are presented using the C++ library \textsc{lorene}.
