Add one Legendre series to another in Python

To add one Legendre series to another, use the polynomial.legendre.legadd() method in Python Numpy. The method returns an array representing the Legendre series of their sum.

Returns the sum of two Legendre series c1 + c2. The arguments are sequences of coefficients ordered from lowest order term to highest, i.e., [1,2,3] represents the series P_0 + 2*P_1 + 3*P_2. The parameters c1 and c2 are 1-D arrays of Legendre series coefficients ordered from low to high.

Steps

At first, import the required library −

import numpy as np
from numpy.polynomial import laguerre as L

Create 1-D arrays of Legendre series coefficients −

c1 = np.array([2,3,4])
c2 = np.array([4,3,2])

Display the arrays of coefficients −

print("Array1...\n",c1)
print("\nArray2...\n",c2)

Display the datatype −

print("\nArray1 datatype...\n",c1.dtype)
print("\nArray2 datatype...\n",c2.dtype)

Check the Dimensions of both the arrays −

print("\nDimensions of Array1...\n",c1.ndim)
print("\nDimensions of Array2...\n",c2.ndim)

Check the Shape of both the arrays −

print("\nShape of Array1...\n",c1.shape)
print("\nShape of Array2...\n",c2.shape)

To add one Legendre series to another, use the polynomial.legendre.legadd() method in Python Numpy. The method returns an array representing the Legendre series of their sum −

print("\nResult (sum)....\n",L.legadd(c1, c2))
