Chebyshev Polynomial-Based Analytic Solution Algorithm with Efficiency, Stability and Sensitivity for Classic Vibrational Constant Coefficient Homogeneous IVPs with Derivative Orders <i>n</i>, <i>n</i>-1, <i>n</i>-2

Abstract

The Chebyshev polynomials are harnessed as functions of the one parameter of the nondimensionalized differential equation for trinomial homogeneous linear differential equations of arbitrary order n that have constant coefficients and exhibit vibration. The u se of the Chebyshev polynomials allows calculation of the analytic solutions for arbitrary n in terms of the orthogonal Chebyshev polynomials to provide a more stable solution form and natural sensitivity analysis in terms of one parameter and the initial conditions in 6 n + 7 arithmetic operations and one square root.
