ZernikeR

ZernikeR
gives the radial Zernike polynomial .
MORE INFORMATION
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • Explicit polynomials are given when possible.
  • The Zernike polynomials are orthogonal with weight over the unit interval.
  • ZernikeR can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
  • ZernikeR automatically threads over lists.
