New unconditionally stable scheme for telegraph equation based on weighted Laguerre polynomials

This article proposes a new unconditionally stable scheme to solve one‐dimensional telegraph equation using weighted Laguerre polynomials. Unlike other numerical schemes, the time derivatives in the equation can be expanded analytically based on the Laguerre polynomials and basis functions. By applying a Galerkin temporal testing procedure and using the orthogonal property of weighted Laguerre polynomials, the time variable can be eliminated from computations, which results in an implicit equation. After solving the equation recursively one can obtain the numerical results of telegraph equation by using the expanded coefficients. Some numerical examples are considered to validate the accuracy and stability of this proposed scheme, and the results are compared with some existing numerical schemes.© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Optimal finite difference schemes for a wave equation

In this paper, a solution to a two-dimensional wave equation using the Laguerre transform is considered. Optimal parameters of finite difference schemes for this equation are obtained. Numerical values of these optimal parameters are specified. Second-order finite difference schemes with the optimal parameters provide an accuracy of solving the equations close to that provided by a fourth-order scheme. It is shown that using the Laguerre decomposition can reduce the number of optimal parameters in comparison with using the Fourier decomposition. This simplifies the finite difference schemes and decreases the number of calculations, that is, makes the algorithm more efficient.     

Laguerre polynomial approach for solving linear delay difference equations

This paper presents a numerical method for the approximate solution of mth-order linear delay difference equations with variable coefficients under the mixed conditions in terms of Laguerre polynomials. The aim of this article is to present an efficient numerical procedure for solving mth-order linear delay difference equations with variable coefficients. Our method depends mainly on a Laguerre series expansion approach. This method transforms linear delay difference equations and the given conditions into matrix equation which corresponds to a system of linear algebraic equation. The reliability and efficiency of the proposed scheme are demonstrated by some numerical experiments and performed on the computer algebraic system Maple.     

On orthogonal polynomial approximation with the dimensional expanding technique for precise time integration in transient analysis

We use four orthogonal polynomial series, Legendre, Chebyshev, Hermite and Laguerre series, to approximate the non-homogeneous term for the precise time integration and incorporate them with the dimensional expanding technique. They are applied to various structures subjected to transient dynamic loading together with Fourier and Taylor approximation proposed in previous works. Numerical examples show that all six methods are efficient and have reasonable precision. In particular, Legendre approximation has much higher precision and better convergence; Chebyshev approximation is also good, but only slightly inferior to Legendre approximation. The other four approximation methods usually produce results with errors hundreds of thousands of times larger. Hermite and Laguerre approximation may be useful for some special non-homogeneous terms, but do not work sufficiently well in our numerical examples. Other contributions of this paper include, a Dynamic Programming scheme for computing series coefficients, a general formula to find the assistant matrix for any polynomial series.

Numericalresults are given to show the efficiency of this new method.     

Higher order Riesz transforms,fractional derivatives,and Sobolev spaces for Laguerre expansions

We study different Sobolev spaces associated with multidimensional Laguerre expansions. To do this we establish an analogue of P.A. Meyer's multiplier theorem, prove some transference results between higher order Riesz–Hermite and Riesz–Laguerre transforms, and introduce fractional derivatives and integrals corresponding to the Laguerre setting. Hypercontractivity of the Laguerre semigroups and Calderón's reproduction formula are also discussed.

L2-Theory of Riesz Transforms for Orthogonal Expansions

We propose a unified approach to the theory of Riesz transforms and conjugacy in the setting of multi-dimensional orthogonal expansions. The scheme is supported by numerous examples concerning, in particular, the classical orthogonal expansions in Hermite, Laguerre, and Jacobi polynomials. A general case of expansions associated to a regular or singular Sturm-Liouville problem is also discussed.     

A fully diagonalized spectral method using generalized Laguerre functions on the half line

A fully diagonalized spectral method using generalized Laguerre functions is proposed and analyzed for solving elliptic equations on the half line. We first define the generalized Laguerre functions which are complete and mutually orthogonal with respect to an equivalent Sobolev inner product. Then the Fourier-like Sobolev orthogonal basis functions are constructed for the diagonalized Laguerre spectral method of elliptic equations. Besides, a unified orthogonal Laguerre projection is established for various elliptic equations. On the basis of this orthogonal Laguerre projection, we obtain optimal error estimates of the fully diagonalized Laguerre spectral method for both Dirichlet and Robin boundary value problems. Finally, numerical experiments, which are in agreement with the theoretical analysis, demonstrate the effectiveness and the spectral accuracy of our diagonalized method.

In this paper, the Laguerre–Sheffer polynomials are introduced by using the monomiality principle formalism and operational methods. The generating function for the Laguerre–Sheffer polynomials is derived and a correspondence between these polynomials and the Sheffer polynomials is established. Further, differential equation, recurrence relations and other properties for the Laguerre–Sheffer polynomials are established. Some concluding remarks are also given.     

Spectra of rational orthonormal systems

We use the Weyl correspondence approach to investigate the spectral operators of the Laguerre and the Kautz systems. We show that the basic functions in the Laguerre and the Kautz systems are the eigenvectors of modified Sturm-Liouville operators. The results are further generalized to multiple parameters of one complex variable in both the unit disc and the upper half-plane contexts.     

GENERALIZED LAGUERRE APPROXIMATION AND ITS APPLICATIONS TO EXTERIOR PROBLEMS

Approximations using the generalized Laguerre polynomials are investigated in this paper. Error estimates for various orthogonal projections are established. These estimates generalize and improve previously published results on the Laguerre approximations. As an example of applications, a mixed Laguerre-Fourier spectral method for the Helmholtz equation in an exterior domain is analyzed and implemented. The proposed method enjoys optimal error estimates, and with suitable basis functions, leads to a sparse and symmetric linear system.     

The Laguerre spectral method for solving Neumann boundary value problems

In this paper, we propose a Laguerre spectral method for solving Neumann boundary value problems. This approach differs from the classical spectral method in that the homogeneous boundary condition is satisfied exactly. Moreover, a tridiagonal matrix is employed, instead of the full stiffness matrix encountered in the classical variational formulation of such problems. For analyzing the numerical errors, some basic results on Laguerre approximations are established. The convergence is proved. The numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of this approach.     

A Characterization of Certain Elation Laguerre Planes in Terms of Kleinewillinghöfer Types

We characterize the non-classical 4-dimensional elation Laguerre planes as precisely those 4-dimensional Laguerre planes of Kleinewillinghöfer type I.D.1. Furthermore, in the class of 2- or 4-dimensional Laguerre planes or finite Laguerre planes of odd order, the non-miquelian elation Laguerre planes are precisely the Laguerre planes of Kleinewillinghöfer type D.     

Asymptotics on Laguerre or Hermite polynomial expansions and their applications in Gauss quadrature

In this paper, we present asymptotic analysis on the coefficients of functions expanded in forms of Laguerre or Hermite polynomial series, which shows the decay of the coefficients and derives new error bounds on the truncated series. Moreover, by applying the asymptotics, new estimates on the errors for Gauss–Laguerre, Radau–Laguerre and Gauss–Hermite quadrature are deduced. These results show that Gauss–Laguerre-type and Gauss-Hermite-type quadratures are nearly of same convergence rates.
