A proposed computational method is applied to damp out the excess vibrations in smart microbeams, where the control action is implemented using piezoceramic actuators. From a mathematical point of view, we wish to determine the optimal boundary actuators that minimize a given energy-based performance measure. The minimization of the performance measure over the actuators is subjected to the ful...

In this study, stress and displacement functions of the three-dimensional theory of elasticity for homogeneous isotropic bodies are derived from first principles from the differential equations of equilibrium, the generalized stress – strain laws and the geometric relations of strain and displacement. It is found that the stress and displacement functions must be biharmonic functions. The deriv...

We state and prove an apparently hitherto unrecorded evaluation of certain Legendre symbols: if p is prime, p 6= 2, and ab = p − 1, then the Legendre symbol ( b p ) is given by ( b p ) = (−1).

A Legendre wavelet method is presented for numerical solutions of stochastic Volterra-Fredholm integral equations. The main characteristic of the proposed method is that it reduces stochastic Volterra-Fredholm integral equations into a linear system of equations. Convergence and error analysis of the Legendre wavelets basis are investigated. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method wa...

We utilize the Legendre-Fenchel transform and weak geodesics for plurisubharmonic functions to construct a weight function that can be used in Berndtsson-Lempert method, give an Ohsawa-Takegoshi extension type of result. Theorem 4.1 0.1 \cite{OT2017} (Theorem \ref{Theorem A} B} below) follow as two special cases this result, thus answering affirmatively question posed by Ohsawa remark \cite{OT2...

Abstract Legendre was the first to evaluate two well-known integrals involving sines and exponentials. One of these can be used prove Binet’s second formula for logarithm gamma function. Here, we show that other integral leads a specific case Hermite’s generalization formula. From analogs Legendre’s integrals, with replaced by cosines, obtain integration identities logarithms trigonometric func...

In this manuscript a new method is introduced for solving fractional differential equations. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. The main idea is to use fractional-order Legendre wavelets and operational matrix of fractional-order integration. First the fractional-order Legendre wavelets (FLWs) are presented. Then a family of piecewise functions is proposed, based on whi...

This paper presents the use of Legendre pseudospectral method for the optimization of finite-thrust orbital transfer for spacecrafts. In order to get an accurate solution, the System’s dynamics equations were normalized through a dimensionless method. The Legendre pseudospectral method is based on interpolating functions on Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto (LGL) quadrature nodes. This is used to transfor...

In this article, a shifted Legendre tau method is introduced to get a direct solution technique for solving multi-order fractional differential equations (FDEs) with constant coefficients subject to multi-point boundary conditions. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. Also, this article reports a systematic quadrature tau method for numerically solving multi-point boundar...
