JacobiP

  • JacobiP[ n , a , b , x ] gives the Jacobi polynomial .
  • Mathematical function (see Section A.3.10).
  • Explicit polynomials are given when possible.
  • satisfies the differential equation .
  • The Jacobi polynomials are orthogonal with weight function .
  • JacobiP[ n , a , b , z ] has a branch cut discontinuity in the complex z plane running from to .
  • See the Mathematica book: Section 3.2.9.
  • See also: LegendreP, ChebyshevT, ChebyshevU, GegenbauerC.
