To clarify the improved computation scheme, image reconstructions from higher order of Legendre moments, up to 240, are conducted. Wi...

Results of computations are presented to show the variations of coefficients of four different Legendre series, one for each of the four scattering functions needed in describing directional dependence of the radiation scattered by a sphere. Values of the size parameter (x) covered for this purpose vary from 0.01 to 100.0. An adequate representation of the entire scattering function vs scatteri...

We take an approach toward counting the number of n for which the curve En : y = x3−n2x has 2-Selmer groups of a given size. This question was also discussed in a pair of papers by Roger Heath-Brown [6, 7]. We discuss the connection between computing the size of these Selmer groups and verifying cases of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture. The key ingredient for the asymptotic formulae is...

In 2000 T. Satoh gave the first p–adic point counting algorithm for elliptic curves over finite fields. Satoh’s algorithm was followed by the SST algorithm and furthermore by the AGM and MSST algorithms for characteristic two only. All four algorithms are important to Elliptic Curve Cryptography. In this paper we present a general framework for p–adic point counting and we apply it to elliptic ...

Gauss–Legendre quadrature rules are of considerable theoretical and practical interest because of their role in numerical integration and interpolation. In this paper, a series expansion for the zeros of the Legendre polynomials is constructed. In addition, a series expansion useful for the computation of the Gauss–Legendre weights is derived. Together, these two expansions provide a practical ...

In this paper, we present a classification of elliptic curves defined over a cubic extension of a finite field with odd characteristic which have coverings over the finite field therefore subjected to the GHS attack. The densities of these weak curves, with hyperelliptic and non-hyperelliptic coverings, are then analyzed respectively. In particular, we show, for elliptic curves defined by Legen...

In this article, we calculate the period of an irregular singular connection ∇ = d+dy on the legendre curve U : y = x(x−1)(x−λ). We calculate its de Rham cohomology and the cycles in the homology of the dual connection and describe the period matrix. Terasoma’s work is introduced to approximate the direct image connection π∗(∇) by a sequence of regular connections as an intermediate step where ...

This paper presents a simple matrix form for degree elevation of interval Bezier curve using LegendreBernstein basis transformations. The four fixed Kharitonov's polynomials (four fixed Bezier curves) associated with the original interval Bezier curve are obtained. These four fixed Bezier curves are expressed in terms of the Legendre polynomials. The process of degree elevations r times are app...

An ecient method, based on the Legendre wavelets, is proposed to solve thesecond kind Fredholm and Volterra integral equations of Hammerstein type.The properties of Legendre wavelet family are utilized to reduce a nonlinearintegral equation to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations, which is easilyhandled with the well-known Newton's method. Examples assuring eciencyof the method and its sup...

This paper considers the numerical simulation of incompressible viscous fluid flow in an infinite strip. A mixed spectral method is proposed using the Legendre approximation in one direction and the Legendre rational approximation in another direction. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of this approach. Some results on the mixed Legendre-Legendre rational approximation are establishe...
