scipy.special.roots_chebys

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

Gauss-Chebyshev (second kind) quadrature.

Computes the sample points and weights for Gauss-Chebyshev quadrature. The sample points are the roots of the n-th degree Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind, \(S_n(x)\). These sample points and weights correctly integrate polynomials of degree \(2n - 1\) or less over the interval \([-2, 2]\) with weight function \(f(x) = \sqrt{1 - (x/2)^2}\).

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
