Answer on Question #85176 – Math – Differential Equations

Question

Expand the function f(x)=P3(x)f(x) = P_3'(x) in a series of the form:


k=0AkPk(x), where P3(x)=5x33x2.\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} A_k P_k(x), \text{ where } P_3(x) = \frac{5x^3 - 3x}{2}.


The question is based on Legendre polynomials.

Solution

If P3(x)=5x33x2P_3(x) = \frac{5x^3 - 3x}{2}, then f(x)=3(5x21)2f(x) = \frac{3(5x^2 - 1)}{2}.

We give the function f(x)f(x) in a series of Legendre polynomials, when 1x1-1 \leq x \leq 1:

f(x)=k=0AkPk(x)f(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} A_k P_k(x), when P0=1,P1=x,P2=3x12,,Pk=12kk!dk(x21)kdxkP_0 = 1, P_1 = x, P_2 = \frac{3x - 1}{2}, \ldots, P_k = \frac{1}{2^k k!} \frac{d^{k(x^2 - 1)^k}}{dx^k} — the Legendre polynomials, Ak=2k+1211f(x)Pk(x)dxA_k = \frac{2k + 1}{2} \int_{-1}^{1} f(x) P_k(x) dx — coefficients of the series.

In our case Ak=0A_k = 0, when k=2m+1,m=0,1,2,3,k = 2m + 1, m = 0,1,2,3,\ldots, because f(x)=3(5x21)2f(x) = \frac{3(5x^2 - 1)}{2} is an even function.


A0=1211(3(5x21)2×1)dx=01(3(5x21)2)dx=(5x323x2)01=1,A_0 = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-1}^{1} \left( \frac{3(5x^2 - 1)}{2} \times 1 \right) dx = \int_{0}^{1} \left( \frac{3(5x^2 - 1)}{2} \right) dx = \left( \frac{5x^3}{2} - \frac{3x}{2} \right) \Big|_{0}^{1} = 1,A2=5013(5x21)2×3x212dx=15401(15x45x23x2+1)dx=154(3x58x33+x)01=5,A_2 = 5 \int_{0}^{1} \frac{3(5x^2 - 1)}{2} \times \frac{3x^2 - 1}{2} dx = \frac{15}{4} \int_{0}^{1} (15x^4 - 5x^2 - 3x^2 + 1) dx = \frac{15}{4} \left( 3x^5 - \frac{8x^3}{3} + x \right) \Big|_{0}^{1} = 5,A4=9013(5x21)2×35x430x2+38dx=9(75x716111x516+15x316+9x16)01=274,A_4 = 9 \int_{0}^{1} \frac{3(5x^2 - 1)}{2} \times \frac{35x^4 - 30x^2 + 3}{8} dx = 9 \left( 75 \frac{x^7}{16} - 111 \frac{x^5}{16} + 15 \frac{x^3}{16} + 9 \frac{x}{16} \right) \Big|_{0}^{1} = -\frac{27}{4},,\ldots,A2k=3(4k+1)22k+1(2k)!01(5x21)×d2k(x21)2kdx2kdx.A_{2k} = \frac{3(4k + 1)}{2^{2k + 1}(2k)!} \int_{0}^{1} (5x^2 - 1) \times \frac{d^{2k(x^2 - 1)^{2k}}}{dx^{2k}} dx.
