Characterization of a simple communication network using Legendre transform
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe an application of the Legendre transform to communication networks. The Legendre transform applied to max-plus algebra linear systems corresponds to the Fourier transform applied to conventional linear systems. Hence, it is a powerful tool that can be applied to max-plus linear systems and their identification. Linear max-plus algebra has been already used to describe simple data communication networks. We first extend the Legendre transform as the slope transform to non-concave/non-convex functions. We then use it to analyze a simple communication network. We also propose an identification method for its transfer characteristic, and we confirm the results using the ns-2 network simulator.

A Fast, Simple, and Stable Chebyshev-Legendre Transform Using an Asymptotic Formula
A fast, simple, and numerically stable transform for converting between Legendre and Chebyshev coefficients of a degree N polynomial in O(N(logN)2/ log logN) operations is derived. The basis of the algorithm is to rewrite a well-known asymptotic formula for Legendre polynomials of large degree as a weighted linear combination of Chebyshev polynomials, which can then be evaluated by using the di...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Class of Sigmoid Functions with Applications to Neural Networks
We study two classes of sigmoids: the simple sigmoids, defined to be odd, asymptotically bounded, completely monotone functions in one variable, and the hyperbolic sigmoids, a proper subset of simple sigmoids and a natural generalization of the hyperbolic tangent. We obtain a complete characterization for the inverses of hyperbolic sigmoids using Euler's incomplete beta functions, and describe ...
متن کاملComparative Study of Dct and Discrete Legendre Transform for Image Compression
-The discrete Legendre transform is compared to the discrete cosine transform (DCT), which is based on Chebyshev polynomials, in terms of image compression efficiency. Using standard test images in various image compression configurations, the DCT is found to perform marginally better than the discrete Legendre transform in all cases examined. A simplified fundamental matrix theory for construc...

In the recent paper [3] by Asai et al., the growth order of holomorphic functions on a nuclear space has been considered. For this purpose, certain classes of growth functions u are introduced and many properties of Legendre transform of such functions are investigated. In [4], applying Legendre transform of u under the conditions (U0), (U2) and (U3) (see §2), the Gel’fand triple [E ]u ⊂ (L) ⊂ ...
