function

`scipy.special._orthogonal:_newton`

source: build-install/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/scipy/special/_orthogonal.py:1540

Signature

def _newton(n, x_initial, maxit = 5)

Summary

Newton iteration for polishing the asymptotic approximation to the zeros of the Hermite polynomials.

Parameters

n : int: Quadrature order
x_initial : ndarray: Initial guesses for the roots
maxit : int: Maximal number of Newton iterations. The default 5 is sufficient, usually only one or two steps are needed.

Returns

nodes : ndarray: Quadrature nodes
weights : ndarray: Quadrature weights
