The Chebyshev polynomials form a complete orthogonal system. The Chebyshev series converges to f(x) if the function is piecewise smooth and continuous. The smoothness requirement can be relaxed in most cases – as long as there are a finite number of discontinuities in f(x) and its derivatives. At a discontinuity, the series will converge to ...
Clenshaw–Curtis quadrature and Fejér quadrature are methods for numerical integration, or "quadrature", that are based on an expansion of the integrand in terms of Chebyshev polynomials. Equivalently, they employ a change of variables x = cos θ {\displaystyle x=\cos \theta } and use a discrete cosine transform (DCT) approximation for ...
The Chebyshev pseudospectral method for optimal control problems is based on Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. It is part of the larger theory of pseudospectral optimal control , a term coined by Ross . [ 1 ]
There are a very large number of ideas that fall under the general banner of pseudospectral optimal control. [7] Examples of these are the Legendre pseudospectral method, the Chebyshev pseudospectral method, the Gauss pseudospectral method, the Ross-Fahroo pseudospectral method, the Bellman pseudospectral method, the flat pseudospectral method and many others.
In applied mathematics, a discrete Chebyshev transform (DCT) is an analog of the discrete Fourier transform for a function of a real interval, converting in either direction between function values at a set of Chebyshev nodes and coefficients of a function in Chebyshev polynomial basis. Like the Chebyshev polynomials, it is named after Pafnuty ...
In mathematics, discrete Chebyshev polynomials, or Gram polynomials, are a type of discrete orthogonal polynomials used in approximation theory, introduced by Pafnuty Chebyshev [1] and rediscovered by Gram. [2] They were later found to be applicable to various algebraic properties of spin angular momentum.
In numerical analysis Chebyshev–Gauss quadrature is an extension of Gaussian quadrature method for approximating the value of integrals of the following kind:
The Chebyshev functions, especially the second one ψ (x), are often used in proofs related to prime numbers, because it is typically simpler to work with them than with the prime-counting function, π (x) (see the exact formula below.) Both Chebyshev functions are asymptotic to x, a statement equivalent to the prime number theorem.
