◆ legendred()

double legendred ( unsigned int  n,
double  x 
)

Derivative of Legendre polynomial Pn(x)

Purpose
legendred computes the derivative of the Legendre polynomial Pn(x).
Returns
Derivative of Legendre polynomial Pn(x).
Parameters
[in]nDegree of polynomial n.
[in]xArgument x (|x| <= 1).
Error handling
  • If |x| > 1, domain error (EDOM) occurs.
  • Range error (ERANGE) may occur.
Note
  • Note that the worst errors occur when the degree increases, values greater than ~120 are very unlikely to produce sensible results. Further the relative errors are likely to grow arbitrarily large when the function is very close to a root.
