OrthogonalUniVariatePolynomial

class OrthogonalUniVariatePolynomial(*args)

Base class for orthogonal univariate polynomials.

Warning

Orthogonal univariate polynomials are not intended to be created manually. They should be constructed with the subclasses of OrthogonalUniVariatePolynomialFamily (like e.g. HermiteFactory). Constructor parameters are therefore intentionally not documented.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot

Create a univariate polynomial from a list of coefficients:

>>> for i in range(3):
...     print(ot.OrthogonalUniVariatePolynomialFamily().build(i))
1
X
-0.707107 + 0.707107 * X^2

Notes

Any sequence of orthogonal polynomials has a recurrence formula relating any three consecutive polynomials as follows:

P_{i + 1} = (a_i x + b_i) P_i + c_i P_{i - 1}, \quad i > 1

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> polynomial = ot.OrthogonalUniVariatePolynomialFamily().build(2)
>>> print(polynomial.getRecurrenceCoefficients())
0 : [  1         0         0        ]
