Popis: Let P n be the vector space of polynomials of degree at most n , equipped with the inner product 〈 f , g 〉 = ∫ − 1 1 f ( x ) g ( x ) d x . Let D : P n ⟶ P n − 1 be the differentiation operator and I : P n − 1 ⟶ P n be the integration operator. In this paper the generalized (Moore–Penrose) inverses of D and I are computed. The answer for D is straightforward, though perhaps somewhat unexpected. The answer for I requires more work, and involves Legendre polynomials in an unexpected way.
