# scipy.special.eval_chebyc¶

scipy.special.eval_chebyc(n, x, out=None) = <ufunc 'eval_chebyc'>

Evaluate Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind on [-2, 2] at a point.

These polynomials are defined as

$C_n(x) = 2 T_n(x/2)$

where $$T_n$$ is a Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind. See 22.5.11 in [AS] for details.

Parameters
narray_like

Degree of the polynomial. If not an integer, the result is determined via the relation to eval_chebyt.

xarray_like

Points at which to evaluate the Chebyshev polynomial

Returns
Cndarray

Values of the Chebyshev polynomial

roots_chebyc

roots and quadrature weights of Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind on [-2, 2]

Examples

>>> import scipy.special as sc


They are a scaled version of the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind.

>>> x = np.linspace(-2, 2, 6)
>>> sc.eval_chebyc(3, x)
array([-2.   ,  1.872,  1.136, -1.136, -1.872,  2.   ])
>>> 2 * sc.eval_chebyt(3, x / 2)
array([-2.   ,  1.872,  1.136, -1.136, -1.872,  2.   ])
