AbstractBased on the seminal work of Hutchinson, we investigate properties of α-weighted Cantor measures whose support is a fractal contained in the unit interval. Here, α is a vector of nonnegative weights summing to 1, and the corresponding weighted Cantor measure μα is the unique Borel probability measure on [0, 1] satisfying {\mu ^\alpha }(E) = \sum\nolimits_{n = 0}^{N - 1} {{\alpha _n}{\mu ^\alpha }(\varphi _n^{ - 1}(E))} where ϕn : x ↦ (x + n)/N. In Sections 1 and 2 we examine several general properties of the measure μα and the associated Legendre polynomials in L_{{\mu ^\alpha }}^2 [0, 1]. In Section 3, we (1) compute the Laplacian and moment generating function of μα, (2) characterize precisely when the moments Im = ∫[0,1]xm dμα exhibit either polynomial or exponential decay, and (3) describe an algorithm which estimates the first m moments within uniform error ε in O((log log(1/ε)) · m log m). We also state analogous results in the natural case where α is palindromic for the measure να attained by shifting μα to [−1/2, 1/2].

The Given

The Bernoulli polynomialsBkrestricted to[0,1)and extended by periodicity haventh sine and cosine Fourier coefficients of the formCk/nk. In general, the Fourier coefficients of any polynomial restricted to[0,1)are linear combinations of terms of the form1/nk. If we can make this linear combination explicit for a specific family of polynomials, then by uniqueness of Fourier series, we get a relation between the given family and the Bernoulli polynomials. Using this idea, we give new and simpler proofs of some known identities involving Bernoulli, Euler, and Legendre polynomials. The method can also be applied to certain families of Gegenbauer polynomials. As a result, we obtain new identities for Bernoulli polynomials and Bernoulli numbers.

AbstractNew models for plane curved rods based on linear couple stress theory of elasticity have been developed.2-D theory is developed from general 2-D equations of linear couple stress elasticity using a special curvilinear system of coordinates related to the middle line of the rod as well as special hypothesis based on assumptions that take into account the fact that the rod is thin. High order theory is based on the expansion of the equations of the theory of elasticity into Fourier series in terms of Legendre polynomials. First, stress and strain tensors, vectors of displacements and rotation along with body forces have been expanded into Fourier series in terms of Legendre polynomials with respect to a thickness coordinate.Thereby, all equations of elasticity including Hooke’s law have been transformed to the corresponding equations for Fourier coefficients. Then, in the same way as in the theory of elasticity, a system of differential equations in terms of displacements and boundary conditions for Fourier coefficients have been obtained. Timoshenko’s and Euler-Bernoulli theories are based on the classical hypothesis and the 2-D equations of linear couple stress theory of elasticity in a special curvilinear system. The obtained equations can be used to calculate stress-strain and to model thin walled structures in macro, micro and nano scales when taking into account couple stress and rotation effects.

Fourier Integrals

A Fourier integral is said to be of finite type if its generating function vanishes for all sufficiently large values of ¦x¦. Because the coefficient functions are defined by integrals over a finite range, the behaviour of such a Fourier integral usually resembles closely that of the corresponding series.

A remarkably large of number of polynomials have been presented and studied. Among several important polynomials, Legendre polynomials, Gould-Hopper polynomials, and Sheffer polynomials have been intensively investigated. In this paper, we aim to incorporate the above-referred three polynomials to introduce the Legendre-Gould Hopper-based Sheffer polynomials by modifying the classical generating function of the Sheffer polynomials. In addition, we investigate diverse properties and formulas for these newly introduced polynomials.

A numerical-analytical algorithm for investigation of the potential of a sphere with a circular hole, surrounded by external and internal closed ribbon spheres, is constructed. The number of ribbons on the spheres is arbitrary. The ribbons on the spheres are separated by non-conductive, infinitely thin partitions. The partitions are located in planes parallel to the shear plane of the sphere with a hole. Each ribbon has its own independent potential. An electrostatic charge is placed between the outer sphere and the sphere with a hole in the axis of the structure. The full potential must satisfy, in particular, Maxwell’s equations, taking into account the absence of magnetic fields, satisfy the boundary conditions, have the required singularity at the point where the charge is placed. To solve this problem, we first used the method of partial domains and the method of separating variables in a spherical coordinate system. In this case, for the Fourier series, we use power functions and Legendre polynomials of integer orders. From the boundary conditions, using an auxiliary system of 3 equations with 4 unknowns, a pairwise system of functional equations of the first kind with respect to the coefficients of the Fourier series is obtained. The system is not effective for solving by direct methods. The method of inversion of the Volterra integral operator and semi-inversion of the matrix operators of the Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation are applied. The method is based on the ideas of the analytical method of the Riemann - Hilbert problem. In this case, integral representations for the Legendre polynomials are used. A system of linear algebraic equations of the second kind with a compact matrix operator in the Hilbert space l`2 is obtained. The system is effectively solvable numerically for arbitrary parameters of the problem and analytically for the limiting parameters of the problem. Particular variants of the problem are considered.

We find that the solution of the polar angular differential equation can be written as the universal associated Legendre polynomials. Its generating function is applied to obtain an analytical result for a class of interesting integrals involving complicated argument, that is,∫-11Pl′m′xt-1/1+t2-2xtPk′m′(x)/(1+t2-2tx)(l′+1)/2dx, wheret∈(0,1). The present method can in principle be generalizable to the integrals involving other special functions. As an illustration we also study a typical Bessel integral with a complicated argument∫0∞Jn(αx2+z2)/(x2+z2)nx2m+1dx.

Abstract New models for plane curved rods based on linear nonlocal theory of elasticity have been developed. The 2-D theory is developed from general 2-D equations of linear nonlocal elasticity using a special curvilinear system of coordinates related to the middle line of the rod along with special hypothesis based on assumptions that take into account the fact that the rod is thin. High order theory is based on the expansion of the equations of the theory of elasticity into Fourier series in terms of Legendre polynomials. First, stress and strain tensors, vectors of displacements and body forces have been expanded into Fourier series in terms of Legendre polynomials with respect to a thickness coordinate. Thereby, all equations of elasticity including nonlocal constitutive relations have been transformed to the corresponding equations for Fourier coefficients. Then, in the same way as in the theory of local elasticity, a system of differential equations in terms of displacements for Fourier coefficients has been obtained. First and second order approximations have been considered in detail. Timoshenko’s and Euler-Bernoulli theories are based on the classical hypothesis and the 2-D equations of linear nonlocal theory of elasticity which are considered in a special curvilinear system of coordinates related to the middle line of the rod. The obtained equations can be used to calculate stress-strain and to model thin walled structures in micro- and nanoscales when taking into account size dependent and nonlocal effects.
