Abstract:
We formulate and derive a generalization of an orthogonal rational- function basis for spectral expansions over the infinite or semi-infinite inter- val. The original functions, first presented by Wiener [30], are a mapping and weighting of the Fourier basis to the infinite interval. By identifying the Fourier series as a biorthogonal composition of Jacobi polynomials/functions, we are able to define generalized Fourier series’ which, appropriately mapped to the whole real line and weighted, form a generalization of Wiener’s basis functions. It is known that the original Wiener rational functions inherit sparse Galerkin matrices for differentiation, and can utilize the fast Fourier transform (FFT) for computation of the modal coefficients. We show that the generalized ba- sis sets also have a sparse differentiation matrix and we discuss connection problems, which are necessary theoretical developments for application of the FFT.
