Chebyshev Series (numpy.polynomial.chebyshev)

This module provides a number of objects (mostly functions) useful for dealing with Chebyshev series, including a Chebyshev class that encapsulates the usual arithmetic operations. (General information on how this module represents and works with such polynomials is in the docstring for its “parent” sub-package, numpy.polynomial).

chebtrim(c[, tol])

Remove “small” “trailing” coefficients from a polynomial.

chebline(off, scl)

Notes

The implementations of multiplication, division, integration, and differentiation use the algebraic identities [1]:

\[\begin{split}T_n(x) = \frac{z^n + z^{-n}}{2} \\ z\frac{dx}{dz} = \frac{z - z^{-1}}{2}.\end{split}\]

where

\[x = \frac{z + z^{-1}}{2}.\]

These identities allow a Chebyshev series to be expressed as a finite, symmetric Laurent series. In this module, this sort of Laurent series is referred to as a “z-series.”
