In this report, we present two mathematical results which can be useful in a variety of settings. First, we present an analysis of Legendre polynomials triple product integral. Such integrals arise whenever two functions are multiplied, with both the operands and the result represented in the Legendre polynomial basis. We derive a recurrence relation to calculate these integrals analytically. W...

in this study a numerical method is developed to solve the hammerstein integral equations. to this end the kernel has been approximated using the leastsquares approximation schemes based on legender-bernstein basis. the legender polynomials are orthogonal and these properties improve the accuracy of the approximations. also the nonlinear unknown function has been approximated by using the berns...

in this study, the problem of determining an optimal trajectory of a nonlinear injection into orbit problem with minimum time was investigated. the method was based on orthogonal polynomial approximation. this method consists of reducing the optimal control problem to a system of algebraic equations by expanding the state and control vector as chebyshev or legendre polynomials with undetermined...

We obtain definite integrals for products of associated Legendre functions with Bessel functions, associated Legendre functions, and Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind using orthogonality and integral transforms.

The optimal control problem of a linear distributed parameter system is studied via shifted Legendre polynomials (SLPs) in this paper. The partial differential equation, representing the linear distributed parameter system, is decomposed into an n set of ordinary differential equations, the optimal control problem is transformed into a two-point boundary value problem, and the twopoint boundary...
