The computations of an ultra-high degree associated Legendre functions and its first derivative up to degree and order of 10800 are reported. Not only the magnitude of orders for the ultra-high degree calculation is presented but the numerical stability and accuracy of the computed values are described in detail. The accuracy on the order of $10^{-25}\;and\;10^{-15}$ was obtained for the values of Legendre function and the first derivatives of Legendre functions, respectively. The computable highest degree and order of Legendre function in terms of latitudes and the linear relationship between the magnitude of the function with respect to degrees and orders is found. It is expected that the computed Legendre functions contribute in many geodetic and geophysical applications for simulations as well as theoretical verifications.

Since the time of Euler, the dilogarithm and polylogarithm functions have been studied by many mathematicians who used various notations for the dilogarithm function $Li_2(z)$. These functions are related to many other mathematical functions and have a variety of application. The main objective of this paper is to present corrected versions of two equivalent factorization formulas involving the Legendre's Chi-function $\chi_2$ and an evaluation of a class of integrals which is useful to evaluate some integrals associated with the dilogarithm function.

The Gauss-Legendre integral method is applied to numerically evaluate the Green function and its derivatives in finite water depth. In this method, the singular point of the function in the traditional integral equation can be avoided. Moreover, based on the improved Gauss-Laguerre integral method proposed in the previous research, a new methodology is developed through the Gauss-Legendre integral. Using this new methodology, the Green function with the field and source points near the water surface can be obtained, which is less mentioned in the previous research. The accuracy and efficiency of this new method is investigated. The numerical results using a Gauss-Legendre integral method show good agreements with other numerical results of direct calculations and series form in the far field. Furthermore, the cases with the field and source points near the water surface are also considered. Considering the computational efficiency, the method using the Gauss-Legendre integral proposed in this paper could obtain the accurate numerical results of the Green function and its derivatives in finite water depth and can be adopted in the near field.

The present study introduces a Legendre interpolation function which is capable of analyzing wave transformation effectively in a finite element method. A Lagrangian interpolation function has been mostly used for a finite element method with a higher-order interpolation function. Although this function has an advantage of giving an accurate result with less number of elements, simulation time increases. Calculation time can be reduced by mass lumping, whereas the accuracy of solution is lowered. In this study, we introduce a modified Lagrangian interpolation function, Legendre cardinal interpolation, which can reduce simulation time with keeping up favorable accuracy. Through various numerical simulations using a Boussinesq equations model, the superiority of the Legendre cardinal interpolation function to a Lagrangian interpolation function was shown.

In this paper, we introduce a generating function for a Legendre-based poly-Bernoulli polynomials and give some identities of these polynomials related to the Stirling numbers of the second kind. By making use of the generating function method and some functional equations mentioned in the paper, we conduct a further investigation in order to obtain some implicit summation formulae for the Legendre-based poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials.

A Legendre spectral tau approximation scheme for solving the two-dimensional stationary incompressible Stokes equations is considered. Based on the vorticity-stream function formulation and variational forms, boundary value and normal derivative of vorticity are computed. A factorization technique for matrix stems based on the Schur decomposition is derived. Several numerical experiments are performed.

A measured frequency response function can be represented as a ratio of two polynomials. A curve-fitting of frequency responses with Legendre polynomialis suggested in the paper. And the suggested curve-fitting algorithm is based on the least-square error method. Since the Legendre polynomials satisfy the orthogonality condition, the curve-fitting with the polynomials results to more reliable curve-fitting than ordinary polynomial method. Though the proposed curve-fitting with Legendre polynomials cannot cover all frequency range of interest, example shows that the suggested method is quite applicable in a limited frequency band.

In this paper Legendre wavelets are used to approximate the solutions of linear time-invariant system. The Legendre wavelet and its integral operational matrix are presented and an efficient algorithm to solve the Sylvester matrix equation is proposed. The algorithm is based on the decomposition of the Sylvester matrix equation and the preorder traversal algorithm. Using the special structure of the Legendre wavelet's integral operational matrix, the full order Sylvester matrix equation can be solved in terms of the solutions of pure algebraic matrix equations, which reduce the computation time remarkably. Finally a numerical example is illustrated to demonstrate the validity of the proposed algorithm.

We present a relation between the orthogonality of the constrained Legendre polynomials over the triangular domain and the BB ($B{\acute{e}zier}\;-Bernstein$) coefficients of the polynomials using the equivalence of orthogonal complements. Using it we also show that the best constrained degree reduction of polynomials in BB form equals the best approximation of weighted Euclidean norm of coefficients of given polynomial in BB form from the coefficients of polynomials of lower degree in BB form.
