in this study, the problem of determining an optimal trajectory of a nonlinear injection into orbit problem with minimum time was investigated. the method was based on orthogonal polynomial approximation. this method consists of reducing the optimal control problem to a system of algebraic equations by expanding the state and control vector as chebyshev or legendre polynomials with undetermined...

We characterize the generalized Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind (Chebyshev-II), and then we provide a closed form of the generalized Chebyshev-II polynomials using the Bernstein basis. These polynomials can be used to describe the approximation of continuous functions by Chebyshev interpolation and Chebyshev series and how to efficiently compute such approximations. We conclude the pap...

The IBM Power4 processor uses series approximation to calculate square root. We formally verified the correctness of this algorithm using the ACL2(r) theorem prover. The proof requires the analysis of the approximation error on a Chebyshev series. This is done by proving Taylor’s theorem, and then analyzing the Chebyshev series using Taylor series. Taylor’s theorem is proved by way of non-stand...

The purpose of this study is to present an approximate numerical method for solving high order linear Fredholm-Volterra integro-differential equations in terms of rational Chebyshev functions under the mixed conditions. The method is based on the approximation by the truncated rational Chebyshev series. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is illustrated in several numerical examples. The p...
