The optimal control problem of a linear distributed parameter system is studied via shifted Legendre polynomials (SLPs) in this paper. The partial differential equation, representing the linear distributed parameter system, is decomposed into an n set of ordinary differential equations, the optimal control problem is transformed into a two-point boundary value problem, and the twopoint boundary...

In this report, we present two mathematical results which can be useful in a variety of settings. First, we present an analysis of Legendre polynomials triple product integral. Such integrals arise whenever two functions are multiplied, with both the operands and the result represented in the Legendre polynomial basis. We derive a recurrence relation to calculate these integrals analytically. W...
