scipy.special.eval_hermite

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

Evaluate physicist’s Hermite polynomial at a point.

Defined by

\[H_n(x) = (-1)^n e^{x^2} \frac{d^n}{dx^n} e^{-x^2};\]

\(H_n\) is a polynomial of degree \(n\). See 22.11.7 in [AS] for details.

Parameters

narray_like

Degree of the polynomial

xarray_like

Points at which to evaluate the Hermite polynomial

outndarray, optional

Optional output array for the function values

Returns

Hscalar or ndarray

Values of the Hermite polynomial
