# scipy.special.eval_chebyu

scipy.special.eval_chebyu(n, x, out=None) = <ufunc 'eval_chebyu'>

  Evaluate Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind at a point.

  The Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind can be defined via the Gauss hypergeometric function \({}_2F_1\) as

  \[U_n(x) = (n + 1) {}_2F_1(-n, n + 2; 3/2; (1 - x)/2).\]

  When \(n\) is an integer the result is a polynomial of degree \(n\). See 22.5.48 in [AS] for details.

  Parameters:
    n array_like

      Degree of the polynomial. If not an integer, the result is determined via the relation to the Gauss hypergeometric function.

    x array_like

      Points at which to evaluate the Chebyshev polynomial

    out ndarray, optional

      Optional output array for the function values

  Returns:
    U scalar or ndarray

      Values of the Chebyshev polynomial
