in this study, the problem of determining an optimal trajectory of a nonlinear injection into orbit problem with minimum time was investigated. the method was based on orthogonal polynomial approximation. this method consists of reducing the optimal control problem to a system of algebraic equations by expanding the state and control vector as chebyshev or legendre polynomials with undetermined...

We obtain definite integrals for products of associated Legendre functions with Bessel functions, associated Legendre functions, and Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind using orthogonality and integral transforms.

In 1951, F. Brafman derived several “unusual” generating functions of classical orthogonal polynomials, in particular, of Legendre polynomials Pn(x). His result was a consequence of Bailey’s identity for a special case of Appell’s hypergeometric function of the fourth type. In this paper, we present a generalization of Bailey’s identity and its implication to generating functions of Legendre po...

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...

properties of the hybrid of block-pulse functions and lagrange polynomials based on the legendre-gauss-type points are investigated and utilized to define the composite interpolation operator as an extension of the well-known legendre interpolation operator. the uniqueness and interpolating properties are discussed and the corresponding differentiation matrix is also introduced. the appli...

A new family of self-calibration additional parameters (APs) is presented for calibrating airborne camera systems. We point out that photogrammetric self-calibration can to a very large extent be considered as a function approximation problem in mathematics. Based on the mathematical approximation theory, a novel family of so-called Legendre APs is developed based on the orthogonal Legendre pol...

Abstract. For any positive integer n and variables a and x we define the generalized Legendre polynomial Pn(a, x) by Pn(a, x) = Pn k=0 a k −1−a k ( 1−x 2 ). Let p be an odd prime. In this paper we prove many congruences modulo p related to Pp−1(a, x). For example, we show that Pp−1(a, x) ≡ (−1)〈a〉p Pp−1(a,−x) (mod p), where a is a rational p− adic integer and 〈a〉p is the least nonnegative resid...
