A Recreating chebychev coefficient from an article

[dan_smith]

Hello i need to recreate these chebychev coefficents given the initial value of X_0=1.853 as shown in the photo bellow.
i have tried to follow the iterrative algorithm shown in the photo bellow.
please help me understand where did i go wrong?

thanks

please help me understand where did i go wrong?

What exactly went wrong?

What exactly went wrong?

if x_0=1.853 then
T_0=1
T_1=1.853
T_2=2*1.853*1.853-1
its not the same numbers that they get in the article

Thanks

What you calculate are not coefficients of polynomials, these numbers are the values of the polynomial functions at this value of x.

I don't understand where their numbers come from, but I also don't understand where they are used afterwards. I found the context here, page 19 ("206").

I also don't understand the value of x they got - WolframAlpha disagrees (using 180 instead of pi doesn't work either, but I guess the 180 comes from working in degrees).

Hello, Yes this is the article from which the example came from.
you are correct regarding the wolfram alfa calculation.assuming that their numbers are wrong
i tried to use matlabs commands for
g=chebyshevT([1 ,2, 3 ,4] , x) %first kind
[ x, 2*x^2 - 1, 4*x^3 - 3*x, 8*x^4 - 8*x^2 + 1]

g=chebyshevU([1 ,2, 3 ,4],x) %second kind
[ 2*x, 4*x^2 - 1, 8*x^3 - 4*x, 16*x^4 - 12*x^2 + 1]

what coefficients should i take for this step?

Thanks
