numpy.polynomial.legendre.legcompanion — NumPy v1.13 Manual (original) (raw)
numpy.polynomial.legendre. legcompanion(c)[source]¶
Return the scaled companion matrix of c.
The basis polynomials are scaled so that the companion matrix is symmetric when c is an Legendre basis polynomial. This provides better eigenvalue estimates than the unscaled case and for basis polynomials the eigenvalues are guaranteed to be real ifnumpy.linalg.eigvalsh is used to obtain them.
| Parameters: | c : array_like 1-D array of Legendre series coefficients ordered from low to high degree. |
|---|---|
| Returns: | mat : ndarray Scaled companion matrix of dimensions (deg, deg). |
