scipy.special.roots_sh_legendre

scipy.special.roots_sh_legendre(n, mu=False)

Gauss-Legendre (shifted) quadrature.

Computes the sample points and weights for Gauss-Legendre quadrature. The sample points are the roots of the n-th degree shifted Legendre polynomial \(P^*_n(x)\). These sample points and weights correctly integrate polynomials of degree \(2n - 1\) or less over the interval \([0, 1]\) with weight function \(f(x) = 1.0\).

Parameters

nint

quadrature order

mubool, optional

If True, return the sum of the weights, optional.

Returns

xndarray

Sample points

wndarray

Weights

mufloat

Sum of the weights
