Gauss-Chebyshev (first kind) quadrature.

Compute the sample points and weights for Gauss-Chebyshev quadrature. The sample points are the roots of the nth degree Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind, \(C_n(x)\). These sample points and weights correctly integrate polynomials of degree \(2n - 1\) or less over the interval \([-2, 2]\) with weight function \(w(x) = 1 / \sqrt{1 - (x/2)^2}\). See 22.2.6 in [AS] for more details.

Parameters:

nint: quadrature order
mubool, optional: If True, return the sum of the weights, optional.

Returns:

xndarray: Sample points
wndarray: Weights
mufloat: Sum of the weights
