A mesh M with planar faces is called an edge offset (EO) mesh if there exists a combinatorially equivalent mesh M d such that corresponding edges of M and M d lie on parallel lines of constant distance d. The edges emanating from a vertex of M lie on a right circular cone. Viewing M as set of these vertex cones, we show that the image of M under any Laguerre transformation is again an EO mesh. ...

An efficient method for evaluating inner products of repeated integrals and derivatives of a function described by a Laguerre model is presented. An immediate and promising application is model reduction of infinite-dimensional transfer functions. r 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A new class of generalized Laguerre-based poly-Bernoulli polynomials are discussed with an attempt to generate new and interesting identities, some are in relation with Stirling number of the second kind. Different analytical means and generating function method is incorporated to derive implicit summation formulae and symmetry identities for generalized Laguerre poly-Bernoulli polynomials. It ...

Photons propagating in Laguerre-Gaussian modes have characteristic orbital angular momenta, which are fundamental optical degrees of freedom. The orbital angular momentum of light has potential application in high-capacity optical communication and even in quantum information processing. In this work, we experimentally construct a ring cavity with four lenses and four mirrors that is completely...

We review the Fourier-Laguerre transform, an alternative harmonic analysis on the three-dimensional ball to the usual Fourier-Bessel transform. The Fourier-Laguerre transform exhibits an exact quadrature rule and thus leads to a sampling theorem on the ball. We study the definition of convolution on the ball in this context, showing explicitly how translation on the radial line may be viewed as...

THE LAGUERRE TRANSFORM, PART I : THEORY Ushio Sum ita University of Rochester Masaaki Kijima Tokyo Institute of Technology (Received June 8,1987; Revised March 3,1988) The Laguerre transform, introduced by Keilson and Nunn (1979), Keilson, Nunn and Sumita (1981) and further studied by Sumita (1981), provides an algorithmic framework for the computer evaluation of repeated combinations of contin...

Multivariable generalizations of the classical Hermite, Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials occur as the polynomial part of the eigenfunctions of certain Schrödinger operators for Calogero-Sutherland-type quantum systems. For the generalized Hermite and Laguerre polynomials the multidimensional analogues of many classical results regarding generating functions, differentiation and integration formu...

Energy trajectories, that is, integral curves of the Poynting (current) vector, are calculated for scalar Bessel and Laguerre-Gauss beams carrying orbital angular momentum. The trajectories for the exact waves are helices, winding on cylinders for Bessel beams and hyperboloidal surfaces for Laguerre-Gauss beams. In the geometrical-optics approximations, the trajectories for both types of beam a...
