1 Purpose

d02uac 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 d02ucc.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  d02uac (Integer n, const double f[], double c[], NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: d02uac or nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_coeffs.

3 Description

d02uac computes the coefficients cj, for j=1,2,,n+1, of the interpolating Chebyshev series
12 c1 T0 (x¯) + c2 T1 (x¯) + c3T2 (x¯) ++ cn+1 Tn (x¯) ,  
which interpolates the function f(x) evaluated at the Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points
x¯r = - cos((r-1)π/n) ,   r=1,2,,n+1 .  
Here Tj(x¯) denotes the Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind of degree j with argument 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
xr = - 12 (b-a) cos(π(r-1)/n) + 1 2 (b+a) ,   r=1,2,,n+1 , ​  
where b and a are respectively the upper and lower ends of the range of x over which the function is required.

Constraint: n>0 and n is even.
2: f[n+1] const double Input
On entry: the function values f(xr), for r=1,2,,n+1.
3: c[n+1] double Output
On exit: the Chebyshev coefficients, cj, for j=1,2,,n+1.
4: fail NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n is even.
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.
See Section 7.5 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_NO_LICENCE
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.

7 Accuracy

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

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
d02uac is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
d02uac 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 function. Please also 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).
