Subj: need help with algorythm
Date: 21 Oct 1993

I only recently got my HP48gx, and am confused on how to
code this algorythm that I have.  What I need to do, is
use this to determine Chebyshev polynomials. Then, take
the polynomial and put it into the standard polynomial
'list' form. (ie. {1 4 6 4 1}). I would have it in that
form to make it easier to change it to a transfer
function.( for EE). Any help at all would be a big help.
I need to be able to get only the nth polynomial.

C0(w) = 1
 
C1(w) = w
.
.
.
C  (w) = 2w*C (w) - C   (w)
 n+1         n       n-1

Thanks in advance for any help.

I only have a HP48SX, so I don't know what a standard
polynomial list form is supposed to look like. However,
here is a program to calculate the coefficients of a
Chebyshev polynomial:

<< -> N
    << [ 1 ]
       IF N 0 > THEN [ 0 1 ]
           IF N 1 > THEN
               3 N 1 + FOR I
                   0 OVER OBJ-> DROP I ->ARRY 2 * 3 PICK
                   OBJ-> DROP 0 0 I ->ARRY - ROT DROP
               NEXT
           END
           SWAP DROP
       END
       OBJ-> OBJ-> DROP ->LIST
    >>
>>

To use the program just put the value of N on the stack
and run this program. The results are returned in a list
whose structure is as follows:

{ c0 c1 c2 ... cN }

where: Cn(w) = c0 + c1*w + c2*w^2 + ... + cN*w^N
