We put the Hough transform, a method from Image Processing, into relation to Laguerre geometry, a concept of classical geometry, and study both concepts in the 3D case. It is shown how Laguerre geometry, which works in the set of oriented planes, is used in the detection of special shapes such as planes, spheres, rotational cones and cylinders, general cones and cylinders, and general developab...

The parabolic partial differential equation arises in many application of technologies. In this paper, we propose an approximate method for solution of the heat and advection-diffusion equations using Laguerre-Gaussians radial basis functions (LG-RBFs). The results of numerical experiments are compared with the other radial basis functions and the results of other schemes to confirm the validit...

We propose a new approach to construct an eigenvalue expansions in a weighted Hilbert space of the solution to the Cauchy problem associated to the so-called Gauss-Laguerre contraction semigroups, whose generators turns out to be a natural non-self-adjoint and nonlocal generalization of the Laguerre differential operators. Our methods rely on an intertwining relationship that we establish betwe...

As a straightforward generalization of the well-known Voronoi construction, Laguerre tessellations have long found application in the modelling, analysis and simulation of polycrystalline microstructures. The application of Laguerre tessellations to real (as opposed to computed) microstructures—such as those obtained by modern 3D characterization techniques like x-ray microtomography or focused...

Abstract In this article, we obtain explicit solutions of a linear PDE subject to a class of radial square integrable functions with a monotonically increasing weight function |x|e 2/2, β ≥ 0, x ∈ R. This linear PDE is obtained from a system of forced Burgers equation via the Cole-Hopf transformation. For any spatial dimension n > 1, the solution is expressed in terms of a family of weighted ge...

Using Casorati determinants of Meixner polynomials (m n )n , we construct for each pair F = (F1, F2) of finite sets of positive integers a sequence of polynomials ma,c;F n , n ∈ σF , which are eigenfunctions of a second order difference operator, where σF is certain infinite set of nonnegative integers, σF N. When c and F satisfy a suitable admissibility condition, we prove that the polynomials...

In this paper we give new proofs of some elementary properties of the Hermite and Laguerre orthogonal polynomials. We establish Rodriguestype formulae and other properties of these special functions, using suitable operators defined on the Lie algebra of endomorphisms to the vector space of infinitely many differentiable functions.
