Laguerre–Sobolev polynomials are orthogonal with respect to an inner product of the form 〈p,q〉S = ∫∞ 0 p(x)q(x)x αe−x dx + λ∫∞ 0 p′(x)q′(x)dμ(x), where α > −1, λ 0, and p,q ∈ P, the linear space of polynomials with real coefficients. If dμ(x) = xαe−x dx, the corresponding sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials {Q n (x)} has been studied by Marcellán et al. (J. Comput. Appl. Math. 71 (1996) 24...

In this paper we address the problem of approximating functions on a semi-in nite interval by truncated series of orthonormal generalized Laguerre functions. The generalized Laguerre functions contain two parameters, namely a scale factor and an order of generalization. The rate of convergence of a generalized Laguerre series depends on the choice of these parameters. Results concerning the det...

Following the program for finite translation planes to construct such planes from collineation groups in the translation complement a search for nonMiquelian Laguerre planes of odd order is initiated. In this note finite Laguerre planes of order p2 , P a prime, are investigated. If such a Laguerre plane .c admits a circle-transitive elation group and an automorphism group of order p2 in the ela...

A Laguerre-Galerkin method is proposed and analyzed for the Burgers equation and Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation on a semiinfinite interval. By reformulating these equations with suitable functional transforms, it is shown that the Laguerre-Galerkin approximations are convergent on a semi-infinite interval with spectral accuracy. An efficient and accurate algorithm based on the Laguerre-Gal...

Kleinewillinghöfer classified Laguerre planes with respect to central automorphisms. Polster and Steinke investigated flat Laguerre planes and their so-called Kleinewillinghöfer types, that is, the Kleinewillinghöfer types with respect to the full automorphism group. For some of these types the existence question remained open. We provide strong necessary existence conditions for flat Laguerre ...

In this tutorial paper we present a generalization of the transversal filter, called Laguerre filter, and study some of its more remarkable properties. This filter is obtained by replacing each delay of the transversal filter by a first order all-pass section, and by applying a first order low-pass filter (with the same pole used in the all-pass sections) to the filter’s input signal. Both the ...

This work is concerned with the optimization of Laguerre bases for the orthonormal series expansion of discrete-time Volterra models. The aim is to minimize the number of Laguerre functions associated with a given series truncation error, thus reducing the complexity of the resulting finite dimensional representation. Fu and Dumont [14] indirectly approached this problem in the context of linea...

This work tackles the problem of expanding Volterra models using Laguerre functions. A strict global optimal solution is derived when each multidimensional kernel of the model is decomposed into a set of independent orthonormal bases, each of which parameterized by an individual Laguerre pole intended for representing the dominant dynamic of the kernel along a particular dimension. It is proved...

Laguerre function has many advantages such as good approximation capability for different systems, low computational complexity and the facility of on-line parameter identification. Therefore, it is widely adopted for complex industrial process control. In this work, Laguerre function based adaptive model predictive control algorithm (AMPC) was implemented to control a nonlinear process. Simula...

Let Ω be a symmetric cone and V the corresponding simple Euclidean Jordan algebra. In [2, 5, 6, 8] we considered the family of generalized Laguerre functions on Ω that generalize the classical Laguerre functions on R. This family forms an orthogonal basis for the subspace of L-invariant functions in L(Ω, dμν), where dμν is a certain measure on the cone and where L is the group of linear transfo...
