schebyshev.u.polynomials: Create list of shifted Chebyshev polynomials

In orthopolynom: Collection of Functions for Orthogonal and Orthonormal Polynomials

Create list of shifted Chebyshev polynomials

Description

This function returns a list with n + 1 elements containing the order k shifted Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, U_k^* ≤ft( x\right), for orders k = 0,\;1,\; … ,\;n.

Usage

schebyshev.u.polynomials(n, normalized)

Arguments

n	integer value for highest polynomial order
normalized	a boolean value which, if TRUE, returns a list of normalized orthogonal polynomials

Details

The function schebyshev.u.recurrences produces a data frame with the recurrence relation parameters for the polynomials. If the normalized argument is FALSE, the function orthogonal.polynomials is used to construct the list of orthogonal polynomial objects. Otherwise, the function orthonormal.polynomials is used to construct the list of orthonormal polynomial objects.

Value

A list of n + 1 polynomial objects

1	order 0 shifted Chebyshev polynomial
2	order 1 shifted Chebyshev polynomial

...

n+1	order n shifted Chebyshev polynomial
