-The discrete Legendre transform is compared to the discrete cosine transform (DCT), which is based on Chebyshev polynomials, in terms of image compression efficiency. Using standard test images in various image compression configurations, the DCT is found to perform marginally better than the discrete Legendre transform in all cases examined. A simplified fundamental matrix theory for construc...

An efficient algorithm for the accurate computation of Gauss–Legendre and Gauss– Jacobi quadrature nodes and weights is presented. The algorithm is based on Newton’s root-finding method with initial guesses and function evaluations computed via asymptotic formulae. The n-point quadrature rule is computed in O(n) operations to an accuracy of essentially double precision for any n ≥ 100.

The main purpose of the present paper is the heuristic study of the structure, properties and consequences of new class of potential functions results from the concept of pq-Radial functions which are fundamental family of solutions of second order pq-PDE. Keyword: Potential functions, Laplace equation, pq-Radial function, pq-PDE, Legendre polynomials

We give a remarkable additional othogonality property of the classical Legendre polynomials on the real interval [−1, 1]: polynomials up to degree n from this family are mutually orthogonal under the arcsine measure weighted by the degree-n normalized Christoffel function.

The Jacobi-Stirling numbers and the Legendre-Stirling numbers of the first and second kind were first introduced by Everitt et al. (2002) and (2007) in the spectral theory. In this paper we note that Jacobi-Stirling numbers and Legendre-Stirling numbers are specializations of elementary and complete symmetric functions. We then study combinatorial interpretations of this specialization and obta...

A general framework is introduced to analyze the approximation properties of mapped Legendre polynomials and of interpolations based on mapped Legendre–Gauss–Lobatto points. Optimal error estimates featuring explicit expressions on the mapping parameters for several popular mappings are derived. These results not only play an important role in numerical analysis of mapped Legendre spectral and ...

Gauss’s 2F1 ( 1 2 1 2 1 | x ) hypergeometric function gives periods of elliptic curves in Legendre normal form. Certain truncations of this hypergeometric function give the Hasse invariants for these curves. Here we study another form, which we call the Clausen form, and we prove that certain truncations of 3F2 ( 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 1 | x ) and 2F1 ( 1 4 3 4 1 | x ) in Fp[x] are related to the charac...

In this paper, we present a convergence proof for an iterative procedure of local mode filtering. We formulate the filtering as quadratic optimization problem based on Legendre transform convex function, from which two closed-form expressions at each iteration step are derived variables to be optimized. Those analytical solutions ensure that value objective function increases monotonically with...

A canonical formalism for Lagrangians of maximal nonlocality is established. The method is based on the familiar Legendre transformation to a new function which can be derived from the maximally nonlocal Lagrangian. The corresponding canonical equations are derived through the standard procedure in local theory and appear much like those local ones, though the implication of the equations is la...

Let $f$ be a real-valued function of single variable such that it is positive over the primes. In this article, we construct factorial, $n!_f$, associated to $f$, called Legendre formula, or $f$-factorial, and show, subject certain criteria, $n!_f$ satisfies weak Stirling approximation. As an application, will give approximations Bhargava factorial set primes less well-known formula.
