The main focus of this paper is on efficiency analysis of two kinds of approximating functions (characteristic orthogonal polynomials and characteristic beam functions) that have been applied in the Rayleigh-Ritz method to determine the non-dimensional buckling and frequency parameters of an angle ply symmetric laminated composite plate with fully elastic boundaries. It has been observed that o...

the main purpose of this article is to present an approximate solution for the two-dimensional nonlinear volterra integral equations using legendre orthogonal polynomials. first, the two-dimensional shifted legendre orthogonal polynomials are defined and the properties of these polynomials are presented. the operational matrix of integration and the product operational matrix are introduced. th...

Orthogonal polynomials on the real line always satisfy a three-term recurrence relation. The recurrence coefficients determine a tridiagonal semi-infinite matrix (Jacobi matrix) which uniquely characterizes the orthogonal polynomials. We investigate new orthogonal polynomials by adding to the Jacobi matrix r new rows and columns, so that the original Jacobi matrix is shifted downward. The r new...

in this study a numerical method is developed to solve the hammerstein integral equations. to this end the kernel has been approximated using the leastsquares approximation schemes based on legender-bernstein basis. the legender polynomials are orthogonal and these properties improve the accuracy of the approximations. also the nonlinear unknown function has been approximated by using the berns...

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...

A recent result of S.-Y. Lee and M. Yang states that the planar orthogonal polynomials with respect to a modified Gaussian measure are multiple type II on contour in complex plane. We show same also I contour, provided exponents weight integer. From this orthogonality, we derive several equivalent Riemann-Hilbert problems. The proof is based fundamental identity Yang, which establish using new ...

in this paper, we introduce hybrid of block-pulse functions and bernstein polynomials and derive operational matrices of integration, dual, differentiation, product and delay of these hybrid functions by a general procedure that can be used for other polynomials or orthogonal functions. then, we utilize them to solvedelay differential equations and time-delay system. the method is based upon ex...
