Two efficient spectral-element methods, based on Legendre and Laguerre polynomials respectively, are derived for direct approximation of the electronic Schrödinger equation in one spatial dimension. Compared to existing literatures, a spectral-element approach is used to treat the singularity in nucleus-electron Coulomb potential, and with the help of Slater determinant, special basis functions...

Legendre transformations provide a natural symmetry on the space of solutions to the WDVV equations, and more specifically, between different Frobenius manifolds. In this paper a twisted Legendre transformation is constructed between solutions which define the corresponding dual Frobenius manifolds. As an application it is shown that certain trigonometric and rational solutions of the WDVV equa...

In this correspondence we determine the linear complexity of all Legendre sequences and the (monic) feedback polynomial of the shortest linear feedback shift register that generates such a Legendre sequence. The result of this correspondence shows that Legendre sequences are quite good from the linear complexity viewpoint.

This paper proposes and investigates a method for reducing potential numerical instability in the fast spherical harmonic transform algorithms proposed previously in [5,11]. The key objective of this study is a numerically reliable fast algorithm for computing the discrete Legendre transform (DLT); that is, the projection of sampled data onto the associated Legendre functions within a specified...

Abstract We describe an expansion of Legendre polynomials, analogous to the Taylor expansion, to approximate arbitrary functions. We show that the polynomial coefficients in Legendre expansion, thus, the whole series, converge to zero much more rapidly compared to the Taylor expansion of the same order. Furthermore, using numerical analysis with sixth-order polynomial expansion, we demonstrate ...

A numerical method based on Legendre multi-wavelets is applied for solving Lane-Emden equations which form Volterra integro-differential equations. The Lane-Emden equations are converted to Volterra integro-differential equations and then are solved by the Legendre multi-wavelet method. The properties of Legendre multi-wavelets are first presented. The properties of Legendre multi-wavelets are ...

Optimality Theory (henceforth OT) (Prince and Smolensky 1993/2004) is based upon lexicographic optimization. It differs in this respect from Harmonic Grammar (henceforth HG) (Legendre et al. 1990a, Legendre et al. 1990b), which is based upon linear numeric optimization. Differences between the two have been discussed in several places, including (Legendre et al. 2006, Pater et al. 2007a, Prince...

The main result of this paper is a homotopy theoretic classification of Legendre immersions from a compact manifold into a contact manifold. The paper also includes normal form theorems for Legendre submanifolds as well as a multi-jet transversality theorem for Legendre

In this paper, summation formulae for the 2-variable Legendre polynomials in terms of certain multi-variable special polynomials are derived. Several summation formulae for the classical Legendre polynomials are also obtained as applications. Further, Hermite-Legendre polynomials are introduced and summation formulae for these polynomials are also established.

We introduce a new and eecient Chebyshev-Legendre Galerkin method for elliptic problems. The new method is based on a Legendre-Galerkin formulation, but only the Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto points are used in the computation. Hence, it enjoys advantages of both the Legendre-Galerkin and Chebyshev-Galerkin methods.
