Abstract: We study the numerical evaluation of the Legendre polynomials $P_n$ onthe interval $[-1,1]$ via a three-term recurrence. We prove that ina neighborhood of an endpoint, the computed approximation exactlyagrees with the line tangent to $P_n$ at this endpoint. As aconsequence, we obtain sharp error bounds for the recurrence. Keywords: Legendre polynomials, three-term recurrence, floating-point arithmetic Published Online: 2021/04/19 14:46:10 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5572 0x003c6029 Rights: . Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA) is an electronic journal for the publication of significant new developments in numerical analysis and scientific computing. Papers of the highest quality that deal with the analysis of algorithms for the solution of continuous models and numerical linear algebra are appropriate for ETNA, as are papers of similar quality that discuss implementation and performance of such algorithms. New algorithms for current or new computer architectures are appropriate provided that they are numerically sound. However, the focus of the publication should be on the algorithm rather than on the architecture. The journal is published by the Kent State University Library in conjunction with the Institute of Computational Mathematics at Kent State University, and in cooperation with the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (RICAM). Reviews of all ETNA papers appear in Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt für Mathematik. Reference information for ETNA papers also appears in the expanded Science Citation Index. ETNA is registered with the Library of Congress and has ISSN 1068-9613. …
