The most common approach for approximating non-periodic function defined on a finite interval is based on considering polynomials as basis functions. In this paper we will address the non-optimallity of polynomial approximation and suggest to switch from powers of x to powers of sin(px) where p is a parameter which depends on the dimension of the approximating subspace. The new set does not suf...

We present a high-order method employing Jacobi polynomial-based shape functions, as an alternative to the typical Legendre polynomial-based shape functions in solid mechanics, for solving dynamic threedimensional geometrically nonlinear elasticity problems. We demonstrate that the method has an exponential convergence rate spatially and a second-order accuracy temporally for the four classes o...

This paper is concerned with the stability analysis of distributed delay systems using complete-Lyapunov functionals. Numerous articles aim at approximating their parameters thanks to a discretization method or polynomial modeling. The interest of such approximations is the design of tractable sufficient stability conditions. In the present article, we provide an alternative method based on pol...

Let φ be a polynomial over K (a field of characteristic 0) such that the Hessian of φ is a nonzero constant. Let φ̄ be the formal Legendre Transform of φ. Then φ̄ is well-defined as a formal power series over K. The Hessian Conjecture introduced here claims that φ̄ is actually a polynomial. This conjecture is shown to be true when K = R and the Hessian matrix of φ is either positive or negative de...

Local polynomial smoother (LPS) is a weighted local least-squares nonparametric method. It provides a local Taylor series fit of the data at any location and can be directly used in a differential equation to provide a numerical scheme. In this article, we introduce this new nonparametric idea based on local polynomial smoother, for acquiring the numerical solution of the Bagley-Torvik fraction...

We construct an n-dimensional polytope whose boundary complex is compressed and whose face numbers for any pulling triangulation are the coefficients of the powers of (x − 1)/2 in the n-th Legendre polynomial. We show that the non-central Delannoy numbers count all faces in the lexicographic pulling triangulation that contain a point in a given open quadrant. We thus provide a geometric interpr...

Abstract In this manuscript, we implement a spectral collocation method to find the solution of reaction–diffusion equation with some initial and boundary conditions. We approximate by using two-dimensional interpolating polynomial dependent Legendre–Gauss–Lobatto points. fully show that achieved solutions are convergent exact when number points increases. demonstrate capability efficiency prov...

The test-day yields of milk, fat and protein were analysed from 1433 first lactations of buffaloes of the Murrah breed, daughters of 113 sires from 12 herds in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, born between 1985 and 2007. For the test-day yields, 10 monthly classes of lactation days were considered. The contemporary groups were defined as the herd-year-month of the test day. Random additive genet...

the low earth orbiting (leo) satellites are widely used for geosciences applications. for most applications, precise orbital information of the satellites is required. a combination of the in suite observations and dynamic orbit yields the optimum solution. in order to obtain the combined optimal solution, one needs to analytically or numerically propagate the state vector epoch by an epoch bas...
