Alternative Legendre polynomials (ALPs) are used to approximate the solution of a class of nonlinear Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations. For this purpose, the operational matrices of integration and the product for ALPs are derived. Then, using the collocation method, the considered problem is reduced into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. The error analysis of the method is given an...

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 ...

An O(N(logN)2/ loglogN) algorithm for computing the discrete Legendre transform and its inverse is described. The algorithm combines a recently developed fast transform for converting between Legendre and Chebyshev coefficients with a Taylor series expansion for Chebyshev polynomials about equallyspaced points in the frequency domain. Both components are based on the FFT, and as an intermediate...

For the oscillator-like systems, connected with the Laguerre, Legendre and Chebyshev polynomials coherent states of Glauber-Barut-Girardello type are defined. The suggested construction can be applied to each system of orthogonal polynomials including classical ones as well as deformed ones.

In this paper, an Adomian decomposition method using Chebyshev orthogonal polynomials is proposed to solve a well-known class of weakly singular Volterra integral equations. Comparison with the collocation method using polynomial spline approximation with Legendre Radau points reveals that the Adomian decomposition method using Chebyshev orthogonal polynomials is of high accuracy and reduces th...

Adrien-Marie Legendre (1752–1833) made great contributions to analysis, number theory, celestial mechanics, and practical science. His name is attached to the Legendre differential equation, Legendre polynomials, the Legendre transformation, the Legendre symbol in number theory, the Legendre conditions in calculus of variations, the Legendre relation for elliptic integrals, the Legendre duplica...

Abstract. We first establish the result that the Narayana polynomials can be represented as the integrals of the Legendre polynomials. Then we represent the Catalan numbers in terms of the Narayana polynomials by three different identities. We give three different proofs for these identities, namely, two algebraic proofs and one combinatorial proof. Some applications are also given which lead t...

We rst generalize the Schur congruence for Legendre polynomials to sequences of polyno-mials that we call \d-Carlitz". This notion is more general than a similar notion introduced by Carlitz. Then, we study automaticity properties of double sequences generated by these sequences of polynomials, thus generalizing previous results on double sequences produced by one-dimensional linear cellular au...

The finite Fourier transform of a family of orthogonal polynomials is the usual transform of these polynomials extended by 0 outside their natural domain of orthogonality. Explicit expressions are given for the Legendre, Jacobi, Gegenbauer and Chebyshev families. 2010 Mathematics subject classification: primary 33C45; secondary 44A38, 33C47, 33C10, 42C10.
