On Gauss-Type Quadrature Rules

Some Gauss-type Quadrature rules over [0, 1], which involve values and/or the derivative of the integrand at 0 and/or 1, are investigated. Our work is based on the orthogonal polynomials with respect to linear weight function ω(t): = 1 ? t over [0, 1]. These polynomials are also linked with a class of recently developed “identity-type functions”. Along the lines of Golub's work, the nodes and weights of the quadrature rules are computed from Jacobi-type matrices with simple rational entries. Computational procedures for the derived rules are tested on different integrands. The proposed methods have some advantage over the respective Gauss-type rules with respect to the Gauss weight function ω(t): = 1 over [0, 1].     

Analytical solution of optimal Meixner-like pole

In this paper, we prove the possibility of optimization of some free parameters of Meixner-like discrete-time linear filters using orthonormal basis functions (OBF) in an analytical way. Since the z-transform of the Meixner filters is impossible and it is possible for Meixner-like filters, we are motivated to study closely the optimization of the Meixner-like's pole. As a result, the differential equation associated with Meixner-like filters has been developed. On the other hand, the effective width of the energy distribution in the transformation domain is a function of the free parameter (Meixner-like pole) and simple signal measurements and can be calculated by the second-order moment. Analytic minimization of the second-order moment gives an optimal value of the free parameter. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, numerical results are used to determine the free parameters.

On three-term recurrence and Christoffel–Darboux identity for orthogonal rational functions on the real line

First, we give an algebraic proof to the Christoffel–Darboux identity of formal orthogonal rational functions on the real line by exposing some underlying algebraic properties. This proof does not involve the three-term recurrence relationship. Besides, it is shown that if a family of rational functions satisfies the Christoffel–Darboux relation, then it also admits a three-term recurrence relationship. Thus, the equivalence between both relations is revealed.

Properties of some families of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in several variables

Limiting cases are studied of the Koornwinder-Macdonald multivariable generalization of the Askey-Wilson polynomials. We recover recently and not so recently introduced families of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in several variables consisting of multivariable Wilson, continuous Hahn and Jacobi type polynomials, respectively. For each class of polynomials we provide systems of difference (or differential) equations, recurrence relations, and expressions for the (squared) norms of the polynomials in question.

Network Dynamics in Elemental Assimilation and Metabolism

Metabolism and physiology frequently follow non-linear rhythmic patterns which are reflected in concepts of homeostasis and circadian rhythms, yet few biomarkers are studied as dynamical systems. For instance, healthy human development depends on the assimilation and metabolism of essential elements, often accompanied by exposures to non-essential elements which may be toxic. In this study, we applied laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to reconstruct longitudinal exposure profiles of essential and non-essential elements throughout prenatal and early post-natal development. We applied cross-recurrence quantification analysis (CRQA) to characterize dynamics involved in elemental integration, and to construct a graph-theory based analysis of elemental metabolism. Our findings show how exposure to lead, a well-characterized toxicant, perturbs the metabolism of essential elements. In particular, our findings indicate that high levels of lead exposure dysregulate global aspects of metabolic network connectivity. For example, the magnitude of each element’s degree was increased in children exposed to high lead levels. Similarly, high lead exposure yielded discrete effects on specific essential elements, particularly zinc and magnesium, which showed reduced network metrics compared to other elements. In sum, this approach presents a new, systems-based perspective on the dynamics involved in elemental metabolism during critical periods of human development.
