Chebyshev Polynomials<br />

Glossary 201<br />

Let {T n (x)} ∞ n=0 be the sequence of polynomials such that T 0(x) = 1, T 1 (x) = x,<br />

and T i+1 = 2xT i (x) − T i−1 (x) for all positive integers i. The polynomial T n (x) is<br />

called the nth Chebyshev polynomial.<br />

Circumcenter<br />

The center of the circumscribed circle or sphere.<br />

Circumcircle<br />

A circumscribed circle.<br />

Convexity<br />

A function f(x)is concave up (down) on [a,b] ⊆R if f(x)lies under (over) the<br />

line connecting (a 1 ,f(a 1 )) and (b 1 ,f(b 1 )) for all<br />

a ≤ a 1
