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 wx=1x2+1. They satisfy:

−11wtTm,tTn,tⅆt=0nmπn=mandm=0π2n=mandm0

• 

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

T0,x=1,

T1,x=x,

Tn,x=2xTn1,xTn2,x,for n > 1.
