Chebyshev Polynomials - Relation Between Chebyshev Polynomials of The First and Second Kinds

Relation Between Chebyshev Polynomials of The First and Second Kinds

The Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind are closely related by the following equations

, where n is odd.
, where n is even.

The recurrence relationship of the derivative of Chebyshev polynomials can be derived from these relations

This relationship is used in the Chebyshev spectral method of solving differential equations.

Equivalently, the two sequences can also be defined from a pair of mutual recurrence equations:

These can be derived from the trigonometric formulae; for example, if, then

\begin{align} T_{n+1}(x) &= T_{n+1}(\cos(\vartheta)) \\ &= \cos((n + 1)\vartheta) \\ &= \cos(n\vartheta)\cos(\vartheta) - \sin(n\vartheta)\sin(\vartheta) \\ &= T_n(\cos(\vartheta))\cos(\vartheta) - U_{n-1}(\cos(\vartheta))\sin^2(\vartheta) \\ &= xT_n(x) - (1 - x^2)U_{n-1}(x). \\ \end{align}

Note that both these equations and the trigonometric equations take a simpler form if we, like some works, follow the alternate convention of denoting our Un (the polynomial of degree n) with Un+1 instead.

Famous quotes containing the words relation and/or kinds:

    “The instincts of the ant are very unimportant, considered as the ant’s; but the moment a ray of relation is seen to extend from it to man, and the little drudge is seen to be a monitor, a little body with a mighty heart, then all its habits, even that said to be recently observed, that it never sleeps, become sublime.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “There are as many kinds of beauty as there are habitual ways of seeking happiness.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
