| gegenbauer.polynomials {orthopolynom} | R Documentation |
Create list of Gegenbauer polynomials
Description
This function returns a list with n + 1 elements containing
the order k Gegenbauer polynomials, C_k^{\left( \alpha \right)} \left( x \right),
for orders k = 0,\;1,\; \ldots ,\;n.
Usage
gegenbauer.polynomials(n, alpha, normalized=FALSE)
Arguments
n |
integer value for the highest polynomial order |
alpha |
polynomial parameter |
normalized |
a boolean value which, if TRUE, returns a list of normalized orthogonal polynomials |
Details
The function gegenbauer.recurrences produces a data frame with the recurrence relation parameters
for the polynomials. If the normalized argument is FALSE, the
function orthogonal.polynomials is used to construct the list of orthogonal polynomial objects.
Otherwise, the function orthonormal.polynomials is used to construct the
list of orthonormal polynomial objects.
Value
A list of n + 1 polynomial objects
1 |
order 0 Gegenbauer polynomial |
2 |
order 1 Gegenbauer polynomial |
...
n+1 |
order |
