Abstract
For the eigenfunctions of the non-linear eigenvalue problem associated to the one-dimensional -Laplacian are known to form a Riesz basis of . We examine in this paper the approximation properties of this family of functions and its dual, in order to establish non-orthogonal spectral methods for the -Poisson boundary value problem and its corresponding parabolic time evolution initial value problem. The principal objective of our analysis is the determination of optimal values of for which the best approximation is achieved for a given problem.
