non-negative integer
x
algebraic expression
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.
