The values of X and Y are known, since they constitute the data. Therefore equations 66-9 (a-c) comprise a set of n + 1 equations in n + 1 unknowns, the unknowns being the various values of the at since the summations, once evaluated, are constants. Therefore, solving equations 66-9 (a-c) as simultaneous equations for the at results in the calculation of the coefficients that describe the polynomial (of degree n) that best fits the data.

The modulus data were fitted with a second degree polynomial equation, and these functions were used in the calculations of the thermal stresses from Equations 1 through 3. The polynomial coefficients and the correlation coefficient for each sample are given in Table III. 

Since the resulting system after radial collocation is still too complex for direct mathematical solution, the next step in the solution process is discretization of the two-dimensional system by orthogonal collocation in the axial direction. Although elimination of the spatial derivatives by axial collocation increases the number of equations,8 they become ordinary differential equations and are easily solved using traditional techniques. Since the position and number of points are the only factors affecting the solution obtained by collocation, any set of linearly independent polynomials may be used as trial functions. The Lagrangian polynomials of degree N based on the collocation points...

The goal of this appendix is to prove that the restrictions of harmonic polynomials of degree f to the sphere do in fact correspond to the spherical harmonics of degree f. Recall that in Section 1.6 we used solutions to the Legendre equation (Equation 1.11) to dehne the spherical harmonics. In this appendix we construct bona hde solutions to the Legendre equation then we show that each of the span of the spherical harmonics of degree is precisely the set of restrictions of harmonic polynomials of degree f to the sphere.

In concluding this discussion it is worth noting that the type of the original equation Au = f and the operator B have no influence on a universal method of numbering the parameters r1 ..., rn that can be obtained through the use of the ordered set M n of zeroes of Chebyshev s polynomial of degree n, whose description and composition were made in Section 2 of the present chapter. 

The key requirement is that, at each step, the coefficients c, are found, in order to facilitate the recovery of another root. Once the polynomial of degree two is reached, it is easiest to use the formula given in equation (2.45) to test for the existence of a further two or zero roots.
