Two methods are developed, when solving the related time-independent Schrodinger equation (TISE), to cope with the singular terms of the vibrational kinetic energy operator of a triatomic molecule given in orthogonal internal coordinates. The first method provides a mathematically correct treatment of all singular terms. The vibrational eigenfunctions are approximated by linear combinations of ...

Several techniques of varying efficiency are investigated, which treat all singularities present in the triatomic vibrational kinetic energy operator given in orthogonal internal coordinates of the two distances-one angle type. The strategies are based on the use of a direct-product basis built from one-dimensional discrete variable representation (DVR) bases corresponding to the two distances ...

In this paper we develop approximations to the characteristic roots of delay differential equations using the spectral tau and spectral least squares approach. We study the influence of different choices of basis functions in the spectral solution on the numerical convergence of the characteristic roots. We found that the spectral tau method performed better than the spectral least squares meth...

Orthogonal Legendre moments are used in several pattern recognition and image processing applications. Translation and scale Legendre moment invariants were expressed as a combination of the approximate original Legendre moments. The shifted and scaled Legendre polynomials were expressed in terms of the original Legendre polynomials according to complicated and time-consuming algebraic relation...

Adrien-Marie Legendre (1752–1833) made great contributions to analysis, number theory, celestial mechanics, and practical science. His name is attached to the Legendre differential equation, Legendre polynomials, the Legendre transformation, the Legendre symbol in number theory, the Legendre conditions in calculus of variations, the Legendre relation for elliptic integrals, the Legendre duplica...

In this paper, interval Legendre wavelet method is investigated to approximated the solution of the interval Volterra-Fredholm-Hammerstein integral equation. The shifted interval Legendre polynomials are introduced and based on interval Legendre wavelet method is defined. The existence and uniqueness theorem for the interval Volterra-Fredholm-Hammerstein integral equations is proved. Some examp...

We construct an orthogonal wavelet basis for the interval using a linear combination of Legendre polynomial functions. The coefficients are taken as appropriate roots of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, as has been proposed in reference [1]. A multi-resolution analysis is implemented and illustrated with analytical data and real-life signals from turbulent flow fields.

We study the relationship of transformations between Legendre and Bernstein basis. Using the relationship, we present a simple and efficient method for optimal multiple degree reductions of Bézier curves with respect to the L2-norm.  2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
