Purpose

d02uaf obtains the Chebyshev coefficients of a function discretized on Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points. The set of discretization points on which the function is evaluated is usually obtained by a previous call to d02ucf.

Specification

Fortran Interface

Subroutine d02uaf (

n, f, c, ifail)

Integer, Intent (In)	::	n
Integer, Intent (Inout)	::	ifail
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In)	::	f(n+1)
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (Out)	::	c(n+1)

C Header Interface

#include nagmk26.h

void	d02uaf_ ( const Integer n, const double f[], double c[], Integer ifail)

3

Description

d02uaf computes the coefficients

c_{j}

, for

j = 1, 2, \dots, n + 1

, of the interpolating Chebyshev series

\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}),

which interpolates the function

f (x)

evaluated at the Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points

{\bar{x}}_{r} = - \cos ((r - 1) π / n), r = 1, 2, \dots, n + 1 .

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.

Arguments

1: $n$ – IntegerInput: On entry: $n$ , where the number of grid points is $n + 1$ . This is also the largest order of Chebyshev polynomial in the Chebyshev series to be computed.

Constraint: $n > 0$ and n is even.
2: $f (n + 1)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput: On entry: the function values $f (x_{r})$ , for $r = 1, 2, \dots, n + 1$ .
3: $c (n + 1)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput: On exit: the Chebyshev coefficients, $c_{j}$ , for $j = 1, 2, \dots, n + 1$ .
4: $ifail$ – IntegerInput/Output: On entry: ifail must be set to $0$ , $- 1 or 1$ . If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 3.4 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value $- 1 or 1$ is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is $0$ . When the value $- 1 or 1$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit: $ifail = 0$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry

ifail = 0

- 1

, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:

$ifail = 1$: On entry, $n = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $n > 1$ .

On entry, $n = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: n is even.

$ifail = - 99$: An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
See Section 3.9 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.

$ifail = - 399$: Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 3.8 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.

$ifail = - 999$: Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.

Accuracy

The Chebyshev coefficients computed should be accurate to within a small multiple of machine precision.

8

Parallelism and Performance

d02uaf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

d02uaf 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 X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

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
