numpy.polynomial.legendre.legmulx(c)[source]

Multiply a Legendre series by x.

Multiply the Legendre series c by x, where x is the independent variable.

Parameters:
c : array_like

1-D array of Legendre series coefficients ordered from low to high.

Returns:
out : ndarray

Array representing the result of the multiplication.

Notes

The multiplication uses the recursion relationship for Legendre polynomials in the form

xP_i(x) = ((i + 1)*P_{i + 1}(x) + i*P_{i - 1}(x))/(2i + 1)

Examples

>>> from numpy.polynomial import legendre as L
>>> L.legmulx([1,2,3])
array([ 0.66666667, 2.2, 1.33333333, 1.8]) # may vary
