662 Methods for Solving Grid EquationsThus, the well-known Chebyshev polynomial defined bywhere(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:

we recall from calculus that the polynon1ialhas zeroes at the points xk = 1/Tk, k = 1, 2, ... , n. By formula (22),
relating x and t, we deduce thatg1vmg
