In this paper, a new shifted ultraspherical wavelets operational matrix of derivatives is introduced. The two wavelets operational matrices, namely Legendre and first kind Chebyshev operational matrices can be deduced as two special cases. Two numerical algorithms based on employing the shifted ultraspherical wavelets operational matrix of derivatives for solving linear and nonlinear differenti...

We construct an n-dimensional polytope whose boundary complex is compressed and whose face numbers for any pulling triangulation are the coefficients of the powers of (x − 1)/2 in the n-th Legendre polynomial. We show that the non-central Delannoy numbers count all faces in the lexicographic pulling triangulation that contain a point in a given open generalized orthant. We thus provide a geomet...

The spectral method with discrete spherical harmonics transform plays an important role in many applications. In spite of its advantages, the spherical harmonics transform has a drawback of high computational complexity, which is determined by that of the associated Legendre transform, and the direct computation requires time of O(N3) for cut-off frequency N . In this paper, we propose a fast a...

We extend the application of Legendre-Galerkin algorithms for sixth-order elliptic problems with constant coefficients to sixth-order elliptic equations with variable polynomial coefficients. The complexities of the algorithm are O(N) operations for a one-dimensional domain with N − 5 unknowns. An efficient and accurate direct solution for algorithms based on the LegendreGalerkin approximations...

In paper [4], transformation matrices mapping the Legendre and Bernstein forms of a polynomial of degree n into each other are derived and examined. In this paper, we derive a matrix of transformation of Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind into Bernstein polynomials and vice versa. We also study the stability of these linear maps and show that the Chebyshev–Bernstein basis conversion is rem...

We extend a collocation method for solving a nonlinear ordinary differential equation ODE via Jacobi polynomials. To date, researchers usually use Chebyshev or Legendre collocation method for solving problems in chemistry, physics, and so forth, see the works of Doha and Bhrawy 2006, Guo 2000, and Guo et al. 2002 . Choosing the optimal polynomial for solving every ODEs problem depends on many f...

The present study included 3,358 observations of 675 bulls and heifers from the Iowa State University beef cattle breeding project. Data were collected over a 3-yr period between 1998 and 2000. Each year, cattle were scanned four to six times for ultrasound-predicted percentage of intramuscular fat (UPFAT) and other ultrasound traits, starting at a minimum age of 28 wk. The objective of the cur...
