variace / covariance components of 227118 first lactaiom test-day milk yield records belonged to 31258 iranian holstein cows were estimated using nine random regression models. afterwards, different measures of persistency based on estimation breeding value were evaluated. three functions were used to adjust fixed lactation curve: ali and schaeffer (as), quadratic (le3) and cubic (le4) order of...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract— A new polynomial method to solve Volterra–Fredholm Integral equations is presented in this work. The method is based upon Shifted Legendre Polynomials. The properties of Shifted Legendre Polynomials and together with Gaussian integration formula are presented and are utilized to reduce the computation of Volterra–Fredholm Integral equations to a system of algebraic equations. Some num...

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...

In this paper, a numerical efficient method is proposed for the solution of time fractional mobile/immobile equation. The fractional derivative of equation is described in the Caputo sense. The proposed method is based on a finite difference scheme in time and Legendre spectral method in space. In this approach the time fractional derivative of mentioned equation is approximated by a scheme of ord...
