1 Purpose

nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_cgl_vals (d02ubc) evaluates a function, or one of its lower order derivatives, from its Chebyshev series representation at Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points on

[a, b]

. The coefficients of the Chebyshev series representation required are usually derived from those returned by nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_coeffs (d02uac) or nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_solve (d02uec).

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>

#include <nagd02.h>

void	nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_cgl_vals (Integer n, double a, double b, Integer q, const double c[], double f[], NagError *fail)

3 Description

nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_cgl_vals (d02ubc) evaluates the Chebyshev series

S (\bar{x}) = \frac{1}{2} c_{1} T_{0} (\bar{x}) + c_{2} T_{1} (\bar{x}) + c_{3} T_{2} (\bar{x}) + \dots + c_{n + 1} T_{n} (\bar{x}),

or its derivative (up to fourth order) at the Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points on

[a, b]

. Here

T_{j} (\bar{x})

denotes the Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind of degree

j

with argument

\bar{x}

defined on

[- 1, 1]

. In terms of your original variable,

x

say, the input values at which the function values are to be provided are

x_{r} = - \frac{1}{2} (b - a) \cos (π (r - 1) / n) + \frac{1}{2} (b + a), r = 1, 2, \dots, n + 1, ​

where

b

and

a

are respectively the upper and lower ends of the range of

x

over which the function is required.

The calculation is implemented by a forward one-dimensional discrete Fast Fourier Transform (DFT).

On entry, $q = ⟨value⟩$ .
Constraint: $0 \leq q \leq 4$ .
NE_INTERNAL_ERROR: An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.
NE_REAL_2: On entry, $a = ⟨value⟩$ and $b = ⟨value⟩$ .
Constraint: $a < b$ .

7 Accuracy

Evaluations of DFT to obtain function or derivative values should be an order

n

multiple of machine precision assuming full accuracy to machine precision in the given Chebyshev series representation.

8 Parallelism and Performance

nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_cgl_vals (d02ubc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_cgl_vals (d02ubc) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.

Please consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

The number of operations is of the order

n \log (n)

and the memory requirements are

O (n)

; thus the computation remains efficient and practical for very fine discretizations (very large values of

n
