662 Methods for Solving Grid Equations
Thus, the well-known Chebyshev polynomial defined by
where
(24) ]~ 1 (t) =cos (n arccos t) for ltl < 1,
is just the solution of the original proble1n concerned. For ltl > 1 the
polyn0111ial of interest is specified by the fonnula
(25) Tn(t) = 0.5 [(t + Jt^2 - 1)" + (t - Jt^2 - 1)"], ltl > 1.
Since max ITn(t)I = 1, the relations occur:
It I:<;: 1

In an atten1pt to find the unknown parameters T 1 , T 2 , ... , T 11 by the ap-
proved rule saying that the zeroes of the sought polynomial Pn(t) should
coincide wit.h known zeroes of Chebyshev's polynomial such as
2k - 1
(27) ---7f, k = 1,2,. .. ,n,

we recall from calculus that the polynon1ial
has zeroes at the points xk = 1/Tk, k = 1, 2, ... , n. By formula (22),
relating x and t, we deduce that
