Hi there,
I’m trying to plot the graph for LegendreP[70+3/2,3/2,x] for x between -1 to 1.
But it looks very bad. if ones try it for 60+3/2 it looks good. Why does it happen, and is there something to do about it?
Thanks!
Version? Mathematica or WolframAlpha? Code to plot?
it is Mathematica 12.0.
The code I use to plot is: Plot[LegendreP[70 + 3/2, -3/2, x], {x, -1, 1}, ]
Look at my attachment. for n=65+3/2 it already show some noise. But for n=70+3/2 it is complete garbage. I tried using PlotPoints with a big number (4000) but it will not help.
Note: I had a typo in the legendre order: it is minus 3/2.
What do you think? Is there a way to plot larger and larger degrees of the LegendreP?
Thanks!
Machine-precision might not be enough. But can easily be solved by using more precision, e.g.:
Plot[LegendreP[70 + 3/2, 3/2, x], {x, -1, -0.9}, WorkingPrecision -> 30, PlotPoints -> 100]
Yes! it definitely gets the job done. Thank you!
