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...

Abstract We describe an expansion of Legendre polynomials, analogous to the Taylor expansion, to approximate arbitrary functions. We show that the polynomial coefficients in Legendre expansion, thus, the whole series, converge to zero much more rapidly compared to the Taylor expansion of the same order. Furthermore, using numerical analysis with sixth-order polynomial expansion, we demonstrate ...

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.

The main aim of this article is to generalize the Legendre operational matrix to the fractional derivatives and implemented it to solve the nonlinear multi-order fractional differential equations. In this approach, a truncated Legendre series together with the Legendre operational matrix of fractional derivatives are used. The main characteristic behind the approach using this technique is that...

In this paper, we consider the Legendre spectral Galerkin and Legendre spectral collocation methods to approximate the solution of Urysohn integral equation. We prove that the approximated solutions of the Legendre Galerkin and Legendre collocation methods converge to the exact solution with the same orders, O(n−r) in L2-norm and O(n 1 2 −r) in infinity norm, and the iterated Legendre Galerkin ...

In this paper an iterative method based on shifted Legendre polynomials is presented to obtain the approximate solutions of optimal control problems subject to integral equations. The operational matrices of integration and product of shifted Legendre polynomials for solving integral equation is employed. The methodology is based on the parametrization of control and state functions. This conve...

Burgers’ equation is a fundamental partial differential equation in fluid mechanics. This paper reports a new space-time spectral algorithm for obtaining an approximate solution for the space-time fractional Burgers’ equation (FBE) based on spectral shifted Legendre collocation (SLC) method in combination with the shifted Legendre operational matrix of fractional derivatives. The fractional der...

Nodal point sets, and associated collocation projections, play an important role in a range of high-order methods, including Flux Reconstruction (FR) schemes. Historically, efforts have focused on identifying nodal sets that aim to minimise the L∞ error interpolating polynomial. The present work combines comprehensive review known approximation theory results, with new numerical experiments, mo...
