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 research, a numerical algorithm is employed to investigate the classical Blasius equation which is the governing equation of boundary layer problem. The base of this algorithm is on the development of RCW (Rahmanzadeh-Cai-White) method. In fact, in the current work, an attempt is made to solve the Blasius equation by using the sum of Taylor and Fourier series. While, in the most common ...

The validity of a series expansion proposed previously @T. H. Jensen and M. S. Chu, Phys. Fluids 27, 2881 ~1984!# for describing general Taylor configurations of magnetized plasmas has been reexamined because an apparent paradox was realized. From analyses of simple cases which can be dealt with mostly analytically, it is concluded that the paradox is a Gibbs phenomenon, and that the series exp...

We introduce a notion of reduction on resource vectors, i.e. infinite linear combinations of resource λ-terms. The latter form the multilinear fragment of the differential λ-calculus introduced by Ehrhard and Regnier, and resource vectors are the target of the Taylor expansion of λ-terms. We show that the reduction of resource vectors contains the image, through Taylor expansion, of β-reduction...

Abstract This paper presents an appropriate numerical method to solve nonlinear Fredholm integro-differential equations with time delay. Its approach is based on the Taylor expansion. This method converts the integro-differential equation and the given conditions into the matrix equation which corresponds to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations with unknown Taylor expansion coefficients, s...

In this paper, a new simple direct method to solve nonlinear Fredholm-Volterra integral equations is presented. By using Block-pulse (BP) functions, their operational matrices and Taylor expansion a nonlinear Fredholm-Volterra integral equation converts to a nonlinear system. Some numerical examples illustrate accuracy and reliability of our solutions. Also, effect of noise shows our solutions ...
