Chebyshev polynomials over the reals: orthogonality

Chebyshev T polynomials are orthogonal with respect to √(1 - x ^ 2)⁻¹.

Main statements

• integrable_measureT: continuous functions are integrable with respect to Lebesgue measure scaled by √(1 - x ^ 2)⁻¹ and restricted to (-1, 1].
• integral_eval_T_real_mul_evalT_real_measureT_of_ne: if n ≠ m then the integral of T_n * T_m equals 0.
• integral_eval_T_real_mul_self_measureT_zero: if n = m = 0 then the integral equals π.
• integral_eval_T_real_mul_self_measureT_of_ne_zero: if n = m ≠ 0 then the integral equals π / 2.

TODO

• Prove that Chebyshev U polynomials are orthogonal with respect to √(1 - x ^ 2)
• Bundle Chebyshev T polynomials into a HilbertBasis for MeasureTheory.Lp ℝ 2 measureT
