numpy.polynomial.chebyshev.chebder()

Differentiate a Chebyshev series.

Returns the Chebyshev series coefficients c differentiated m times along axis. At each iteration the result is multiplied by scl (the scaling factor is for use in a linear change of variable). The argument c is an array of coefficients from low to high degree along each axis, e.g., [1,2,3] represents the series 1*T_0 + 2*T_1 + 3*T_2 while [[1,2],[1,2]] represents 1*T_0(x)*T_0(y) + 1*T_1(x)*T_0(y) + 2*T_0(x)*T_1(y) + 2*T_1(x)*T_1(y) if axis=0 is x and axis=1 is y.

Notes

In general, the result of differentiating a C-series needs to be ?reprojected? onto the C-series basis set. Thus, typically, the result of this function is ?unintuitive,? albeit correct; see Examples section below.

Examples

>>> from numpy.polynomial import chebyshev as C
>>> c = (1,2,3,4)
>>> C.chebder(c)
array([ 14.,  12.,  24.])
>>> C.chebder(c,3)
array([ 96.])
>>> C.chebder(c,scl=-1)
array([-14., -12., -24.])
>>> C.chebder(c,2,-1)
array([ 12.,  96.])
