Integrals involving derivatives of Legendre polynomials frequently arise in applications ranging from multipole expansions for processes involving electromagnetic probes to spectral methods in numerical physics. Despite their practical…

In this paper, new relations between the derivatives of the Legendre polynomials are obtained, and by these relations, new upper bounds for the Legendre coefficients of differentiable functions are presented. These upper bounds are sharp…

An efficient procedure for the computation of the coefficients of Legendre expansions is here presented. We prove that the Legendre coefficients associated with a function f(x) can be represented as the Fourier coefficients of an Abel-type…

In a series of recent works, we have provided a number of explicit expressions for the derivative of the associated Legendre function of the first kind with respect to its degree, $[\partial P_{\nu}^{m}(z)/\partial\nu]_{\nu=n}$, with…

From an identity connecting a combinatorial sum and Legendre polynomials, we derive closed forms for a number of combinatorial sums. Some of them are obtained via results about the integrals of functions associated with Legendre…

We start by presenting a generalization of a discrete wave equation that is particularly satisfied by the entries of the matrix coefficients of the refinement equation corresponding to the multiresolution analysis of Alpert. The entries are…

We prove an explicit formula for the $p$-adic valuation of the Legendre polynomials $P_n(x)$ evaluated at a prime $p$, and generalize an old conjecture of the third author. We also solve a problem proposed by Cigler in 2017.

We prove that every multiplier sequence for the Legendre basis which can be interpolated by a polynomial has the form $\{h(k^2+k)\}_{k=0}^{\infty}$, where $h\in\mathbb{R}[x]$. We also prove that a non-trivial collection of polynomials of a…

In this paper, we provide a new and sharper bound for the Legendre coefficients of differentiable functions and then derive a new error bound of the truncated Legendre series in the uniform norm. The key idea of proof relies on integration…

Let P_nk(x) denote the sum of the lowest k+1 terms in the expansion of (1+x)^n. We investigate the irreducibility of P_nk(x) and more general univariate polynomials related to it. Polynomials P_nk(x) naturally arise in Schubert calculus,…

We prove that the density of polynomials $P(x)=\sum_{i=0}^n a_n x^n$ over a local field $K$ generating an \'etale extension with specified splitting type is a rational function in terms of the size of the residue field of $K$ in the case…

The polynomials that arise as coefficients when a power series is raised to the power $x$ include many important special cases, which have surprising properties that are not widely known. This paper explains how to recognize and use such…

We consider a basis of square integrable functions on a rectangle, contained in $R^2$, constructed with Legendre polynomials, suitable, for instance, for the analogical description of images on the plane or in other fields of application of…

We use a Legendre polynomial expansion to find the electrostatic potential of a uniformly charged disk. We then use the potential to find the electric field of the disk.

An uniform expansion of the Legendre functions of large indices are considered by using the WKB approach. We obtain the recurrent formula for the coefficients of uniform expansion and compare them with the uniform expansion of the Bessel…

For any positive integer $n$ and variables $a$ and $x$ we define the generalized Legendre polynomial $P_n(a,x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\b ak\b{-1-a}k(\frac{1-x}2)^k$. Let $p$ be an odd prime. In the paper we prove many congruences modulo $p^2$ related…

For a polynomial P, we consider the sequence of iterated integrals of ln P(x). This sequence is expressed in terms of the zeros of P(x). In the special case of ln(1 + x^2), arithmetic properties of certain coefficients arising are…

We consider elliptic partial differential equations with diffusion coefficients that depend affinely on countably many parameters. We study the summability properties of polynomial expansions of the function mapping parameter values to…

We construct a class of multiple Legendre polynomials and prove that they satisfy an Ap\'ery-like recurrence. We give new upper bounds of the approximation measures of logarithms of rational numbers by algebraic numbers of bounded degree.…

A classical technique to construct polynomial preserving extensions of scalar functions defined on the boundary of an $n$ simplex to the interior is to use so-called rational blending functions. The purpose of this paper is to generalize…
