I've been able to go through the paper and I have potentially succeeded in calculating the coefficients by means of Gaussian elimination. But I want to make sure, I got it right!

So can you please check for me x=0.2 and n=6,7,8?

Thanks a lot!
Vick

Yes, you can expand every polynomial in every other complete polynomial basis. The basis you select should make the conversion from the original basis well-conditioned.

What is the "triangular system of equations" that need to be solved? And how to solve it?

I'm not familiar with these terms! 

However, I came across another article beside yours that dealt with Stieltjes polynomials. Yours deal with Legendre polynomials-Stieltjes polynomials, but theirs deal with Legendre function of the second kind with regard to Stieltjes polynomials.

They have a mathematica code, which I don't quite understand but their code yields 1.08169 for the same n and x as below.


Does this mean that we can generate different Stieltjes polynomials with different orthogonal polynomials and/or functions?

Can you help me out please?
Thanks

Please see Patterson, TNL. "The optimum addition of points to quadrature
