Abstract

We present new representations of Gauss--Legendre polynomials and their derivatives in the shifted power basis and in bases related to symmetric orthogonal Jacobi polynomials. Using these representations and certain recurrence relations, we propose efficient O(n2+dn)O(n^2+dn) methods for evaluating a Gauss--Legendre curve of degree nn in Ed\mathbb E^d. We also propose algorithms for multipoint evaluation with computational complexity O(Mdn+dn2)O(Mdn+dn^2), where MM is the number of evaluation points.
