# roots_gegenbauer

scipy.special.roots_gegenbauer(n, alpha, mu=False)

  Gauss-Gegenbauer quadrature.

  Compute the sample points and weights for Gauss-Gegenbauer quadrature. The sample points are the roots of the nth degree Gegenbauer polynomial, \(C^{\alpha}_n(x)\). These sample points and weights correctly integrate polynomials of degree \(2n - 1\) or less over the interval \([-1, 1]\) with weight function \(w(x) = (1 - x^2)^{\alpha - 1/2}\). See 22.2.3 in [AS] for more details.

  Parameters:
    n int

      quadrature order.

    alpha float

      alpha must be > -0.5.

    mu bool, optional

      If True, return the sum of the weights, optional.

  Returns:
    x ndarray

      Sample points

    w ndarray

      Weights

    mu float

      Sum of the weights
