chebyshev.t.recurrences: 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, \(T_k \left( x \right)\), for orders \(k = 0,\;1,\; \ldots ,\;n\).

Usage

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

Value

A data frame with the recurrence relation parameters.

Arguments

n

integer value for the highest polynomial order

normalized

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