Multiple angle formulas in terms of Chebyshev polynomials #
This file gives the trigonometric characterizations of Chebyshev polynomials, for both the real
(Real.cos
) and complex (Complex.cos
) cosine.
Complex versions #
The n
-th Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind evaluates on cos θ
to the
value cos (n * θ)
.
The n
-th Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind evaluates on cos θ
to the
value sin ((n + 1) * θ) / sin θ
.
The n
-th rescaled Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind (Vieta–Lucas polynomial) evaluates on
2 * cos θ
to the value 2 * cos (n * θ)
.
The n
-th rescaled Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind (Vieta–Fibonacci polynomial)
evaluates on 2 * cos θ
to the value sin ((n + 1) * θ) / sin θ
.
