We analyze transient heat conduction in a thick functionally graded plate by using a higher-order plate theory and a meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method. The temperature field is expanded in the thickness direction by using Legendre polynomials as basis functions. For temperature prescribed on one or both major surfaces of the plate, modified Lagrange polynomials are used as basis and ...

To identify the content of motion sequences such as gestures and video sequences, we propose a compact representation of flow fields using a basis of complex Zernike polynomials. Moments derived from projection of these polynomials have been used in recognition. Previously, local descriptions learned from examples, or specified a priori, have been used to identify local flow events. Affine expa...

In this paper we examine subalgebras on two generators in the univariate polynomial ring. A set, S, of polynomials in a subalgebra of a polynomial ring is called a canonical basis (also referred to as SAGBI basis) for the subalgebra if all lead monomials in the subalgebra are products of lead monomials of polynomials in S. In this paper we prove that a pair of polynomials {f, g} is a canonical ...

This work is concerned with the development of inverse-type inequalities for piecewise polynomial functions and, in particular, functions belonging to hp-finite element spaces. The cases of positive and negative Sobolev norms are considered for both continuous and discontinuous finite element functions.The inequalities are explicit both in the local polynomial degree and the local mesh size.The...

The radial part of the wave function of an electron in a Coulomb potential is the product of a Laguerre polynomial and an exponential with the variable scaled by a factor depending on the degree. This note presents an elementary proof of the orthogonality of wave functions with differing energy levels. It is also shown that this is the only other natural orthogonality for Laguerre polynomials. ...

Orthogonal moments are recognized as useful tools for object representation and image analysis. It has been shown that the recently developed discrete orthogonal moments have better performance than the conventional continuous orthogonal moments. In this paper, a new set of discrete orthogonal polynomials, namely Hahn polynomials, are introduced. The related Hahn moment functions defined on thi...

Steerability is a useful and important property of “kernel” functions. It enables certain complicated operations involving orientation manipulation on images to be executed with high e±ciency. Thus, we focus our attention on the steerability of Hermite polynomials and their versions modulated by theGaussian functionwith di®erent powers, de ̄ned as the Hermite kernel. Certain special cases of suc...

This paper deals with Szegö type limits for multiplication operators on L(R) with respect to Haar orthonormal basis. Similar studies have been carried out by Morrison for multiplication operators Tf using Walsh System and Legendre polynomials [14]. Unlike the Walsh and Fourier basis functions, the Haar basis functions are local in nature. It is observed that Szegö type limit exist for a class o...

Abstract— This paper introduces a new set of orthogonal moments function hypergeometric based on the discrete Legendre polynomials. The Legendre moments can be effectively used as pattern features in the analysis of two-dimensional images. The implementation of moments proposed in this paper does not involve any numerical approximation, since the basis set is orthogonal in the discrete domain o...

One of the most popular methods to solve a time-domain integral equation (TDIE) is the marching-on in time (MOT) method. Recently, a new method called marching-on in degree (MOD) that uses Laguerre polynomials as temporal basis functions has been developed to eliminate the late time instability of the MOT method. The use of an entire domain basis for the time variable eliminates the requirement...
