Jacobi-weighted Orthogonal Polynomials on Triangular Domains

We construct Jacobi-weighted orthogonal polynomials (α,β,γ) n,r (u,v,w), α,β,γ > −1, α+ β + γ = 0, on the triangular domain T . We show that these polynomials (α,β,γ) n,r (u, v,w) over the triangular domain T satisfy the following properties: (α,β,γ) n,r (u,v,w) ∈ n, n≥ 1, r = 0,1, . . . ,n, and (α,β,γ) n,r (u,v,w) ⊥ (α,β,γ) n,s (u,v,w) for r =s. Hence, (α,β,γ) n,r (u,v,w), n= 0,1,2, . . ., r = 0,1, . . . ,n, form an orthogonal system over the triangular domain T with respect to the Jacobi weight function. These Jacobi-weighted orthogonal polynomials on triangular domains are given in Bernstein basis form and thus preserve many properties of the Bernstein polynomial basis.
