1 Purpose

nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_quad_weights (d02uyc) obtains the weights for Clenshaw–Curtis quadrature at Chebyshev points. This allows for fast approximations of integrals for functions specified on Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points on

[- 1, 1]

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>

#include <nagd02.h>

void	nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_quad_weights (Integer n, double w[], NagError *fail)

3 Description

nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_quad_weights (d02uyc) obtains the weights for Clenshaw–Curtis quadrature at Chebyshev points.

Given the (Clenshaw–Curtis) weights

w_{i}

, for

i = 0, 1, \dots, n

, and function values

f_{i} = f (t_{i})

(where

t_{i} = - \cos (i \times π / n)

, for

i = 0, 1, \dots, n

, are the Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points), then

\int_{- 1}^{1} f (x) d x \approx \sum_{i = 0}^{n} w_{i} f_{i}

For a function discretized on a Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto grid on

[a, b]

the resultant summation must be multiplied by the factor

(b - a) / 2
