Chebyshev Differential Equation:

2 d2y dy
(1 − x ) 2 − x + n2y = 0
dx dx

let, t = 12 (1 − x)

dy dy
Then, dx = − 12 dx

d2 y 1 d2 y
dx2
= 4 dt2

DE transforms to:

1 dy
t(1 − t) 2 + −t + n2y = 0

∴ y =2 F1 n, −n, , (1 − x)

where 2F1 is the Hypergeometric function

let, x = cosθ f or, |x| ≤ 1
   
Then, dx = −cosecθ dy

∴ dx2

this transforms the given DE into:

let, x = cosh t f or, |x| ≥ 1


Similarly, we get:

Solutions of the DE

we can solve the DE in terms of θ and then trasnform to x


let, y(θ) = emθ
On solving we get
m2 + n2 = 0
m = ±in
y(θ) = Aeinθ + Be−inθ
∴ y(θ) = A cos (nθ) + B sin (nθ)
2
y(x) = A cos (n cos−1 x) + B sin (n cos−1 x) for |x| ≤ 1

we define these 2 solutions as Tn(x) and U(x)

similarly we can solve for |x| ≥ 1 but we are interested in the latter.

y = ATn(x) + BUn(x) f or, |x| ≤ 1


y = A cosh nt + B sinh nt f or, |x| ≥ 1

Where,

Tn(x) = cos(n cos−1 x) Un(x) = sin(n cos−1 x)

1 1
cosh nt = (ent + e−nt) sinh nt = (ent − e−nt)

Tn(x) and Un(x) are ”CHEBYSHEV POLYNOMIALS” of 1st and 2nd

Recurrence relation

Tn(x) = cos(n cos−1 x)


Tn(cos θ) = cos nθ

Also,

cos nθ = cos [(n − 1)θ + θ]

cos nθ = cos [(n − 1)θ] cos θ + sin [(n − 1)θ] sin θ -(I)

cos (n − 2)θ = cos [(n − 1)θ − θ]

cos (n − 2)θ = cos [(n − 1)θ] cos θ − sin [(n − 1)θ] sin θ -(II)
cos nθ + cos (n − 2)θ = 2 cos θ cos (n − 1)θ [(I)+(II)]
Using, Tn(cos θ) = cos nθ and cos θ = x

∴ Tn(x) + Tn−2(x) = 2xTn−1(x)

Some important properties

1)
Tn(1) = 1 Tn(−1) = (−1)n

2)
Tn′ (1) = n2 Tn′ (−1) = (−1)nn2

3)
T0(x) = 1
T1(x) = x
T2(x) = 2x2 − 1
T3(x) = 4x3 − 3x
T4(x) = 8x4 − 8x2 + 1

PROOF:

1)Tn(1) = cos(n cos−1 1) = cos 0 = 1


Similarly, Tn(−1) = (−1)n

2)Tn(x) satisfies DE

∴ (1 − x2)T ”n(x) − xTn′ (x) + n2Tn(x) = 0


at, x=1

5
−Tn′ (1) + n2Tn(1) = 0
∴ Tn′ (1) = n2
similarly, Tn′ (−1) = (−1)nn2

3) T0(x) = cos 0 = 1
T1(x) = cos(cos−1 x) = x
Then use Recurrence relation to find out other terms.
