We discuss the large N limit of the supersymmetric CP N models as an illustration of Cecotti and Vafa's tt * formalism. In this limit the 'tt * equation' becomes the long wavelength limit of the 2D Toda lattice, an equation first studied in the context of self-dual gravity. We show how simple finite temperature and large N techniques determine the relevant solution, and verify analytically that...

In this paper, the objective is to solve the functional differential equations in the following form using Legendre Wavelet Method (LWM), 0 f 0 u(t)=f(t ,u( t) ,u( (t))), t t t u( t)= (t), t t ′ α ≤ ≤   φ ≤  (1) where ƒ: [t0, tƒ]×R→R is a smooth function, α(t) is a continuous function on [t0, tƒ] and φ(t)∈C represents the initial point or the initial data. In the present paper, the most impo...

The analyzing power of pp → ppπ 0 reaction has been measured at the beam energy of 390 MeV. The missing mass technique of final protons has been applied to identify the π 0 production event. The dependences of the analyzing power on the pion emission-angle and the relative momentum of the protons have been obtained. The angular dependence could be decomposed by the Legendre polynomial and the r...

-Presently studied is the problem of maximizing the altitude of a rocket in vertical flight in a resisting medium, when the amount of propellant is specified, known as the Goddard problem. The case is studied in which the drag coefficient is a function of the Mach number, witnessing a sharp increase in the transonic region. Analysis shows the possibility of a more complex switching structure th...

Abstract. An O(N2) algorithm for the convolution of compactly supported Legendre series is described. The algorithm is derived from the convolution theorem for Legendre polynomials and the recurrence relation satisfied by spherical Bessel functions. Combining with previous work yields an O(N2) algorithm for the convolution of Chebyshev series. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the ...

In this paper, we investigate the mixed Laguerre-Legendre interpolation approximation and its application. Some approximation results are established. A mixed Laguerre-Legendre pseudospectral scheme is constructed for incompressible fluid flow in an infinite strip. Its stability and convergence are proved. Numerical results show the efficiency of this new approach.

This paper first introduces Legendre wavelet bases and derives their rich properties. Then these properties are applied to estimation of approximation error upper bounded in spaces [ ] ( ) C 0,1 α and [ ] ( ) N C 0,1 +α by norms 2 ⋅ and 1 ⋅ , respectively. These estimate results are valuable to solve integral-differential equations by Legendre wavelet method.

This paper gives an efficient numerical method for solving the nonlinear system of Volterra-Fredholm integral equations. A Legendre-spectral method based on the Legendre integration Gauss points and Lagrange interpolation is proposed to convert the nonlinear integral equations to a nonlinear system of equations where the solution leads to the values of unknown functions at collocation points.

We analyze the asymptotic rates of convergence of Chebyshev, Legendre and Jacobi polynomials. One complication is that there are many reasonable measures of optimality as enumerated here. Another is that there are at least three exceptions to the general principle that Chebyshev polynomials give the fastest rate of convergence from the larger family of Jacobi polynomials. When f (x) is singular...

The bulk-scattering properties of dust aerosols and clouds are computed for the community radiative transfer model (CRTM) that is a flagship effort of the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA). The delta-fit method is employed to truncate the forward peaks of the scattering phase functions and to compute the Legendre expansion coefficients for re-constructing the truncated phase ...
