# scipy.special.eval_chebys¶

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

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

These polynomials are defined as

$S_n(x) = U_n(x/2)$

where $$U_n$$ is a Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind. See 22.5.13 in [AS] for details.

Parameters
narray_like

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

xarray_like

Points at which to evaluate the Chebyshev polynomial

Returns
Sndarray

Values of the Chebyshev polynomial

roots_chebys

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

chebys

Chebyshev polynomial object

eval_chebyu

Examples

>>> import scipy.special as sc


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

>>> x = np.linspace(-2, 2, 6)
>>> sc.eval_chebys(3, x)
array([-4.   ,  0.672,  0.736, -0.736, -0.672,  4.   ])
>>> sc.eval_chebyu(3, x / 2)
array([-4.   ,  0.672,  0.736, -0.736, -0.672,  4.   ])
