Nodal point sets, and associated collocation projections, play an important role in a range of high-order methods, including Flux Reconstruction (FR) schemes. Historically, efforts have focused on identifying nodal sets that aim to minimise the L∞ error interpolating polynomial. The present work combines comprehensive review known approximation theory results, with new numerical experiments, mo...

Urysohn integral equation is one of the most applicable topics in both pure and applied mathematics. The main objective of this paper is to solve the Urysohn type Fredholm integral equation. To do this, we approximate the solution of the problem by substituting a suitable truncated series of the well known Legendre polynomials instead of the known function. After discretization of the problem o...

We introduce a new class of polynomials {Pn}, that we call polar Legendre polynomials, they appear as solutions of an inverse Gauss problem of equilibrium position of a field of forces with n + 1 unit masses. We study algebraic, differential and asymptotic properties of this class of polynomials, that are simultaneously orthogonal with respect to a differential operator and a discrete-continuou...

In this paper, Legendre Ramanujan Sums transform(LRST) is proposed and derived by applying DFT to the complete generalized Legendre sequence (CGLS) matrices. The original matrix based Ramanujan Sums transform (RST) by truncating the Ramanujan Sums series is nonorthogonal and lack of fast algorithm, the proposed LRST has orthogonal property and O(Nlog2N) complexity fast algorithm. The LRST trans...

Let p > 3 be a prime, and let Rp be the set of rational numbers whose denominator is not divisible by p. Let {Pn(x)} be the Legendre polynomials. In this paper we mainly show that for m,n, t ∈ Rp with m 6≡ 0 (mod p), P[ p 6 ](t) ≡ − (3 p ) p−1 ∑ x=0 (x3 − 3x + 2t p ) (mod p)

A binomial identity ((1) below), which relates the famous Apéry numbers and the sums of cubes of binomial coefficients (for which Franel has established a recurrence relation almost 100 years ago), can be seen as a particular instance of a Legendre transform between sequences. A proof of this identity can be based on the more general fact that the Apéry and Franel recurrence relations themselve...

In a recent paper of Wintner [l ], an extension is made of a classical theorem on the Legendre transformation of a convex function (for details of the proof, see [3], and for related results, cf. [4; 5]). His assumptions are that the function be strictly convex and of class C1. Here we shall prove a more general result which eliminates both of these restrictions and shows that, in a sense, they...

The pseudorandom properties of a two dimensional “binary plattice” related to the Legendre symbol are studied.
