We introduce the Jacobi-weighted Besov and Sobolev spaces in the one-dimensional setting. In the framework of these spaces, we analyze lower and upper bounds for approximation errors in the p-version of the boundary element method for hypersingular and weakly singular integral operators on polygons. We prove the optimal rate of convergence for the p-version in the energy norms of \tilde H1/2 and \tilde H-1/2, respectively.
