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 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...

A fast, simple, and numerically stable transform for converting between Legendre and Chebyshev coefficients of a degree N polynomial in O(N(logN)2/ log logN) operations is derived. The basis of the algorithm is to rewrite a well-known asymptotic formula for Legendre polynomials of large degree as a weighted linear combination of Chebyshev polynomials, which can then be evaluated by using the di...

Formulae expressing explicitly the coefficients of an expansion of double Jacobi polynomials which has been partially differentiated an arbitrary number of times with respect to its variables in terms of the coefficients of the original expansion are stated and proved. Extension to expansion of triple Jacobi polynomials is given. The results for the special cases of double and triple ultraspher...

In paper [4], transformation matrices mapping the Legendre and Bernstein forms of a polynomial of degree n into each other are derived and examined. In this paper, we derive a matrix of transformation of Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind into Bernstein polynomials and vice versa. We also study the stability of these linear maps and show that the Chebyshev–Bernstein basis conversion is rem...

A probabilistic interpretation of a modified Gegenbauer polynomial is furnished by its expression in terms of a combinatorial probability defined on a compound urn model. Also, a combinatorial interpretation of its coefficients is provided. In particular, probabilistic interpretations of a modified Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind and a modified Legendre polynomial together with combinat...

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.

We extend a collocation method for solving a nonlinear ordinary differential equation ODE via Jacobi polynomials. To date, researchers usually use Chebyshev or Legendre collocation method for solving problems in chemistry, physics, and so forth, see the works of Doha and Bhrawy 2006, Guo 2000, and Guo et al. 2002 . Choosing the optimal polynomial for solving every ODEs problem depends on many f...

-The discrete Legendre transform is compared to the discrete cosine transform (DCT), which is based on Chebyshev polynomials, in terms of image compression efficiency. Using standard test images in various image compression configurations, the DCT is found to perform marginally better than the discrete Legendre transform in all cases examined. A simplified fundamental matrix theory for construc...
