Generate Legendre Series with Given Roots in Python

To generate a Legendre series, use the polynomial.legendre.legfromroots() method in Python. The method returns a 1-D array of coefficients. If all roots are real then out is a real array, if some of the roots are complex, then out is complex even if all the coefficients in the result are real. The parameter roots are the sequence containing the roots.

Steps

At first, import the required library −

import numpy as np
from numpy.polynomial import legendre as L

To generate a Legendre series, use the polynomial.legendre.legfromroots() method in Python −

print("Result...\n",L.legfromroots((-1,0,1)))

Get the datatype −

print("\nType...\n",L.legfromroots((-1,0,1)).dtype)

Get the shape −

print("\nShape...\n",L.legfromroots((-1,0,1)).shape)

Example

import numpy as np
from numpy.polynomial import legendre as L

# To generate a Legendre series, use the polynomial.legendre.legfromroots() method in Python
print("Result...\n",L.legfromroots((-1,0,1)))

# Get the datatype
print("\nType...\n",L.legfromroots((-1,0,1)).dtype)

# Get the shape
print("\nShape...\n",L.legfromroots((-1,0,1)).shape)

Output

Result...
   [ 0. -0.4 0. 0.4]

Type...
float64

Shape...
(4,)
