The parameters of experimentally obtained exponentials are usually found by least-squares fitting methods. Essentially, this is done by minimizing the mean squares sum of the differences between the data, most often a function of time, and a parameter-defined model function. Here we delineate a novel method where the noisy data are represented and analyzed in the space of Legendre polynomials. ...

Self-calibration additional parameters (APs) have identified their significant role in photogrammetric calibration and orientation since 1970s. However, the traditional APs might not be adequate for the digital airborne camera calibration. A novel family of mathematical self-calibration APs is presented in this paper. We point out that photogrammetric self-calibration can, to a very large exten...

The bulk-scattering properties of dust aerosols and clouds are computed for the community radiative transfer model (CRTM) that is a flagship effort of the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA). The delta-fit method is employed to truncate the forward peaks of the scattering phase functions and to compute the Legendre expansion coefficients for re-constructing the truncated phase ...

In this article we prove that if the coefficients of a Fourier–Legendre expansion satisfy a suitable Hausdorff–type condition, then the series converges to a function which admits a holomorphic extension to a cut–plane. Furthermore, we prove that a Laplace–type (Laplace composed with Radon) transform of the function describing the jump across the cut is the unique Carlsonian interpolation of th...

We consider the problem of recovering polynomials that are sparse with respect to the basis of Legendre polynomials from a small number of random samples. In particular, we show that a Legendre s-sparse polynomial of maximal degree N can be recovered fromm s log(N) random samples that are chosen independently according to the Chebyshev probability measure dν(x) = π−1(1 − x2)−1/2dx. As an effici...

the low earth orbiting (leo) satellites are widely used for geosciences applications. for most applications, precise orbital information of the satellites is required. a combination of the in suite observations and dynamic orbit yields the optimum solution. in order to obtain the combined optimal solution, one needs to analytically or numerically propagate the state vector epoch by an epoch bas...

The CGL hash function is a provably secure using walks on isogeny graphs of supersingular elliptic curves. A dominant cost its computation comes from iterative computations power roots over quadratic extension fields. In this paper, we reduce the necessary number root by almost half, applying and also extending an existing method efficient sequence Legendre curves (Hashimoto Nuida, CASC 2021). ...

We discuss a subtlety involved in the calculation of multifractal spectra when these are expressed as Legendre-Fenchel transforms of functions analogous to free energy functions. We show that the Legendre-Fenchel transform of a free energy function yields the correct multifractal spectrum only when the latter is wholly concave. If the spectrum has no definite concavity, then the transform yield...
