Generalized Hall–Littlewood polynomials (Macdonald spherical functions) and generalized Kostka–Foulkes polynomials (q-weight multiplicities) arise in many places in combinatorics, representation theory, geometry, and mathematical physics. This paper attempts to organize the different definitions of these objects and prove the fundamental combinatorial results from “scratch”, in a presentation w...

A random regression model with both random and fixed regressions fitted by Legendre polynomials of order 4 was compared with 3 alternative models fitting linear splines with 4, 5, or 6 knots. The effects common for all models were a herd-test-date effect, fixed regressions on days in milk (DIM) nested within region-age-season of calving class, and random regressions for additive genetic and per...

Estimating the temperature field of a building envelope could be time-consuming task. The use reduced-order method is then proposed: Proper Generalized Decomposition method. solution transient heat equation re-written as function its parameters: boundary conditions, initial condition, etc. To avoid tremendous number parameters, condition parameterized. This usually done by using Orthogonal to p...

We consider the space Pn of orthogonal polynomials of degree n on the unit disc for a general radially symmetricweight function.We show that there exists a single orthogonal polynomialwhose rotations through the angles j n+1 , j = 0, 1, . . . , n forms an orthonormal basis for Pn, and compute all such polynomials explicitly. This generalises the orthonormal basis of Logan and Shepp for the Lege...

We construct an n-dimensional polytope whose boundary complex is compressed and whose face numbers for any pulling triangulation are the coefficients of the powers of (x − 1)/2 in the n-th Legendre polynomial. We show that the non-central Delannoy numbers count all faces in the lexicographic pulling triangulation that contain a point in a given open generalized orthant. We thus provide a geomet...

Many interesting properties of polynomials are closely related to the geometry of their Newton polytopes. We analyze the coercivity on R of multivariate polynomials f ∈ R[x] in terms of their Newton polytopes. In fact, we introduce the broad class of so-called gem regular polynomials and characterize their coercivity via conditions imposed on the vertex set of their Newton polytopes. These cond...

Biological cells can be treated as an inhomogeneous particle. In addition to biomaterials, inhomogeneous particles are also important in more traditional colloidal science. By using two energy methods that are based on Legendre polynomials and Green’s function, respectively, we investigate the interaction between biological cells or colloidal particles in the presence of an external electric fi...

Although general methods led me to a complete solution, I soon saw that the result is obtained faster when the general procedure is left, and when one follows the path suggested by the particular problem at hand. S. Bernstein first lines of [6] Abstract. One establishes inequalities for the coefficients of orthogonal polynomials Φn(z) = z n + ξnz n−1 + · · · + Φn(0), n = 0, 1, . . . which are o...

Abstract We describe an expansion of Legendre polynomials, analogous to the Taylor expansion, to approximate arbitrary functions. We show that the polynomial coefficients in Legendre expansion, thus, the whole series, converge to zero much more rapidly compared to the Taylor expansion of the same order. Furthermore, using numerical analysis with sixth-order polynomial expansion, we demonstrate ...

urysohn integral equation is one of the most applicable topics in both pure and applied mathematics. the main objective of this paper is to solve the urysohn type fredholm integral equation. to do this, we approximate the solution of the problem by substituting a suitable truncated series of the well known legendre polynomials instead of the known function. after discretization of the problem o...
