Recurrence relations for Legendre 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 Legendre polynomial, P_k \left( x \right),
and for orders k = 0,\;1,\; \ldots ,\;n.
Usage
legendre.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.
