A STRUCTURAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE APPLICATION OF LEGENDRE POLYNOMIALS IN BOUNDED SYSTEMS AND DATA REPRESENTATION
This paper investigates the application of Legendre polynomials from a structural per- spective, emphasizing their suitability for representing bounded physical systems and datasets. While traditionally employed in solving differential equations, Legendre polynomials possess a balanced orthogonality property on finite intervals that makes them particularly effective for approximating functions defined on bounded domains. This study develops a conceptual framework for data representation using Legendre polynomial expansions, provides a rigorous comparative analysis with Fourier and Chebyshev bases, and examines the structural impli- cations of basis function selection. The analysis demonstrates that the uniform weight func- tion associated with Legendre polynomials yields balanced approximation accuracy across the entire domain, in contrast to Fourier series which impose periodicity and Chebyshev poly- nomials which emphasize boundary behavior. A detailed mathematical exposition, including coefficient determination and convergence properties, supports the conceptual framework. The paper concludes by identifying promising directions for computational validation and practical applications in data science and approximation theory.
