Abstract— This paper introduces a new set of orthogonal moments function hypergeometric based on the discrete Legendre polynomials. The Legendre moments can be effectively used as pattern features in the analysis of two-dimensional images. The implementation of moments proposed in this paper does not involve any numerical approximation, since the basis set is orthogonal in the discrete domain o...

This paper deals with the Legendre wavelet (LW) collocation method for the numerical solution of the radial Schrodinger equation for hydrogen atom. Energy eigenvalues for the hydrogen bound system is derived -13.6 eV. Numerical results of the ground state modes of wave function for the hydrogen R(r) or the electron probability density function, has been presented. The numerical results ha...

We devise a framework encompassing the classical theory of characteristics and the theory valid in the convex case recently obtained by R.T. Rockafellar and P. Wolenski. It relies on a notion of transform introduced by I. Ekeland. It involves a class of functions called Ekeland functions which is large enough to encompass convex functions, concave functions and linear-quadratic functions, as we...

Consider a model eigenvalue problem with a piecewise constant coefficient. We split the domain at the discontinuity of the coefficient function and define the multidomain variational formulation for the eigenproblem. The discrete multidomain variational formulations are defined for Legendre–Galerkin and Legendre-collocation methods. The spectral rate of convergence of the approximate eigensolut...

Recently, the Legendre pseudospectral (PS) method migrated from theory to flight application onboard the International Space Station for performing a finite-horizon, zeropropellant maneuver. A small technical modification to the Legendre PS method is necessary to manage the limiting conditions at infinity for infinite-horizon optimal control problems. Motivated by these technicalities, the conc...

Recently, Xu and Cheney (1992) have proved that if all the Legendre coeecients of a zonal function deened on a sphere are positive then the function is strictly positive deenite. It will be shown in this paper, that even if nitely many of the Legendre coeecients are zero, the strict positive deeniteness can be assured. The results are based on approximation properties of singular integrals, and...

The Inverse Polynomial Reconstruction Method (IPRM) has been recently introduced by J.-H. Jung and B. Shizgal in order to remedy the Gibbs phenomenon, see [2], [3], [4], [5]. Their main idea is to reconstruct a given function from its n Fourier coefficients as an algebraic polynomial of degree n− 1. This leads to an n × n system of linear equations, which is solved to find the Legendre coeffici...

In this paper, an efficient method to obtain the elements current distribution for a non uniformly spaced array is presented. For a given far field pattern, after sampling the array factor the proposed method uses the least mean square error technique to solve the system of equations rather than solving the previously published Legendre function method. It’s shown that the average side lob leve...
