The shifted Legendre polynomials are defined as . Here the "shifting" function (in fact, it is an affine transformation) is chosen such that it bijectively maps the interval to the interval, implying that the polynomials are orthogonal on :
An explicit expression for the shifted Legendre polynomials is given by
