Robust polynomial rootfinders can be exploited to compute the roots on a real interval of a nonpolynomial function f(x) by the following: (i) expand f as a Chebyshev polynomial series, (ii) convert to a polynomial in ordinary, series-of-powers form, and (iii) apply the polynomial rootfinder. (Complex-valued roots and real roots outside the target interval are discarded.) The expansion is most e...

Some properties of near-Toeplitz tridiagonal matrices with specific perturbations in the first and last main diagonal entries are considered. Applying the relation between the determinant and Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind, we first give the explicit expressions of determinant and characteristic polynomial, then eigenvalues are shown by finding the roots of the characteristic polynomia...

In the paper, the authors establish two identities to express higher order derivatives and integer powers of the generating function of the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind in terms of integer powers and higher order derivatives of the generating function of the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind respectively, find an explicit formula and an identity for the Chebyshev polynomials ...

In this paper, we introduce a generalized Chebyshev collocation method (GCCM) based on the generalized Chebyshev polynomials for solving stiff systems. For employing a technique of the embedded Runge-Kutta method used in explicit schemes, the property of the generalized Chebyshev polynomials is used, in which the nodes for the higher degree polynomial are overlapped with those for the lower deg...

In this paper, a Chebyshev–Legendre spectral viscosity (CLSV) method is developed for nonlinear conservation laws with initial and boundary conditions. The boundary conditions are dealt with by a penalty method. The viscosity is put only on the high modes, so accuracy may be recovered by postprocessing the CLSV approximation. It is proved that the bounded solution of the CLSV method converges t...

A novel Gaussian state estimator named Chebyshev Polynomial Kalman Filter is proposed that exploits the exact and closed-form calculation of posterior moments for polynomial nonlinearities. An arbitrary nonlinear system is at first approximated via a Chebyshev polynomial series. By exploiting special properties of the Chebyshev polynomials, exact expressions for mean and variance are then provi...

In this paper we will present an approach to realize FIR filters using Chebyshev Polynomials. Chebyshev polynomials play a vital role in antenna as well as in signal processing theory. The FIR filter design has also been disscussed previously [2-10], these papers discuss approximation methods, while the approach we will discuss in this paper gives exact design of FIR filter in Chebyshev sense. ...

This paper analyses a Chebyshev pseudospectral collocation semidiscrete (continuous in time) discretization of a variable coefficient parabolic problem. Optimal stability and convergence estimates are given. The analysis is based on an approximation property concerning the GaussLobatto-Chebyshev interpolation operator.
