ultraspherical.recurrences {orthopolynom}

Recurrence relations for ultraspherical 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 ultraspherical polynomial, C_k^{\left( \alpha \right)} \left( x \right), and for orders k = 0,\;1,\; \ldots ,\;n.

Usage

ultraspherical.recurrences(n, alpha, normalized=FALSE)

Arguments

n

integer value for the highest polynomial order

alpha

numeric value for the polynomial parameter

normalized

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

Value

A data frame with the recurrence relation parameters.
