Power Series Solutions to the Legendre Equation
www.iitg.ac.inThe Legendre equation The equation (1 2x )y00 2xy0+ ( + 1)y = 0; (1) where is any real constant, is calledLegendre’s equation. When 2Z+, the equation has polynomial solutions called Legendre polynomials. In fact, these are the same polynomial that encountered earlier in connection with the Gram-Schmidt

iitg.ac.inLegendre’s Polynomials 4.1 Introduction The following second order linear differential equation with variable coefficients is known as Legendre’s differential equation, named after Adrien Marie Legendre (1752-1833), a French mathematician, who is best known for his work in the field of elliptic integrals and theory of
Numerical integration: Gaussian quadrature rules
www.dam.brown.eduThe quadrature rules defined above, using the roots of Legendre polynomials as their nodes, are called Gauss–Legendre rules. They have degree of exactness 2n −1 (and order 2n). Gauss–Legendre rules are open rules, and because the nodes are often positioned at irrational points in the interval,
