chebyshev.c.recurrences {orthopolynom}

Recurrence relations for Chebyshev polynomials

Description

This function returns a data frame with n + 1 rows and four named columns containing the coefficient vectors c, d, e and f of the recurrence relations for the order k Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind, C_k \left( x \right), and for orders k = 0,\;1,\; \ldots ,\;n.

Usage

chebyshev.c.recurrences(n, normalized=FALSE)

Arguments

n

integer value for the highest polynomial order

normalized

boolean value which, if TRUE, returns recurrence relations for normalized polynomials

Value

A data frame with the recurrence relation parameters.
