toms726

toms726, a FORTRAN90 code which computes recursion relationships for various families of orthogonal polynomials, as well as the abscissas and weights of related quadrature rules; the library is commonly called ORTHPOL, and is by Walter Gautschi.

The text of many ACM TOMS algorithms is available online through ACM: https://calgo.acm.org/ or NETLIB: https://www.netlib.org/toms/index.html.
