1 Purpose

d02uzf returns the value of the kth Chebyshev polynomial evaluated at a point x[-1,1]. d02uzf is primarily a utility routine for use by the Chebyshev boundary value problem solvers.

2 Specification

Fortran Interface
Subroutine d02uzf ( k, x, t, ifail)
Integer, Intent (In) :: k
Integer, Intent (Inout) :: ifail
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In) :: x
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (Out) :: t
C Header Interface
#include <nag.h>
void  d02uzf_ (const Integer *k, const double *x, double *t, Integer *ifail)
The routine may be called by the names d02uzf or nagf_ode_bvp_ps_lin_cheb_eval.

3 Description

d02uzf returns the value, T, of the kth Chebyshev polynomial evaluated at a point x[-1,1]; that is, T=cos(k×arccos(x)).

5 Arguments

1: k Integer Input
On entry: the order of the Chebyshev polynomial.
Constraint: k0.
2: x Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: the point at which to evaluate the polynomial.
Constraint: -1.0x1.0.
3: t Real (Kind=nag_wp) Output
On exit: the value, T, of the Chebyshev polynomial order k evaluated at x.
4: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1 or 1 to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of 0 causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of -1 means that an error message is printed while a value of 1 means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value -1 or 1 is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, the value 0 is recommended. 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).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or -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, k=value.
Constraint: k0.
ifail=2
On entry, x=value.
Constraint: -1.0x1.0.
ifail=-99

7 Accuracy

The accuracy should be close to machine precision.

8 Parallelism and Performance

d02uzf is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

None.

10 Example

A set of Chebyshev coefficients is obtained for the function x+exp(-x) defined on [-0.24×π,0.5×π] using d02ucf. At each of a set of new grid points in the domain of the function d02uzf is used to evaluate each Chebshev polynomial in the series representation. The values obtained are multiplied to the Chebyshev coefficients and summed to obtain approximations to the given function at the new grid points.
