spherical.recurrences {orthopolynom}R Documentation

Recurrence relations for spherical polynomials

Description

This function returns a data frame with $n$+1 rows and four named columns containing the coefficient vectors c, d, e and f of the recurrence relations for the order $k$ spherical polynomial, P_k ( x ), and for orders $k$ = 0, 1, ... , $n$.

Usage

spherical.recurrences(n, normalized=FALSE)

Arguments

n integer highest polynomial order
normalized boolean value which, if TRUE, returns recurrence relations for normalized polynomials

Value

A data frame with the recurrence relation parameters.
