Cubic Approximation to $e^x$ using Chebyshev Polynomial

707 Views Asked by At

Was trying to solve this: $C_r=\frac{2}{\pi}\int_{-1}^1\frac{e^xT_r(x)}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}dx$

where $r=0,1,2,3$

$T_r(x) =cosr[{cos}^{-1}x]$

While solving, I equated $x=cos\theta$

Therefore $T_r(x)=cosr\theta$

and $dx=-\sqrt{1-x^2}d\theta$ $$C_r=\frac{2}{\pi}\int_{\pi}^0\frac{e^{cos\theta}cosr\theta}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}.-\sqrt{1-x^2}d\theta$$

Solving further $$C_r=\frac{2}{\pi}\int_0^{\pi}e^{cos\theta}cosr\theta d\theta$$

When $r=0$, $C_r=\frac{2}{\pi}\int_0^{\pi}e^{cos\theta} d\theta$

When $r=1$, $C_r=\frac{2}{\pi}\int_0^{\pi}e^{cos\theta}cos\theta d\theta$

And so on. The problem is to now calculate the definite integrals without resorting to approximations using Trapezoid or Simpsons rule.
