Description

• 

The T(n, x) function computes the nth Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind evaluated at x.

• 

These polynomials are orthogonal on the interval (−1,1) with respect to the weight function w⁡x=1−x2+1. They satisfy:

∫−11w⁡t⁢T⁡m,t⁢T⁡n,tⅆt=0n≠mπn=mandm=0π2n=mandm≠0

• 

Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind satisfy the following recurrence relation:

T⁡0,x=1,

T⁡1,x=x,

T⁡n,x=2⁢x⁢T⁡n−1,x−T⁡n−2,x,for n > 1.
