We show a connection between the Clenshaw algorithm for evaluating a polynomial q n , expanded in terms of a system of orthogonal polynomials, and special linear combinations of associated polynomials. These results enable us to get the derivatives of q n (z) analogously to the Horner algorithm for evaluating polynomials in monomial representations. Furthermore we show how a polynomialq n (z) given in monomial (!) representation can be evaluated for z ∈ C using the Clenshaw algorithm without complex arithmetic. From this we get a connection between zeros of polynomials expanded in terms of Chebyshev polynomials and the corresponding polynomials in monomial representation with the same coefficients.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
