jacobi.matrices: Create list of Jacobi matrices from monic recurrence parameters

Description

Return a list of $n$ real symmetric, tri-diagonal matrices which are the principal minors of the $n \times n$ Jacobi matrix derived from the monic recurrence parameters, $a$ and $b$, for orthogonal polynomials.

Usage

jacobi.matrices(r)

Arguments

r

a data frame containing the parameters $a$ and $b$

Value

• A list of symmetric, tri-diagnonal matrices
• 1
  a $1 \times 1$ matrix
• 2
  a $2 \times 2$ matrix
• ...
• n
  an $n \times n$ matrix
