d02udf differentiates a function discretized on Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points. The grid points on which the function values are to be provided are normally returned by a previous call to d02ucf.
The routine may be called by the names d02udf or nagf_ode_bvp_ps_lin_cgl_deriv.
3Description
d02udf differentiates a function discretized on Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points on . The polynomial interpolation on Chebyshev points is equivalent to trigonometric interpolation on equally spaced points. Hence the differentiation on the Chebyshev points can be implemented by the Fast Fourier transform (FFT).
Given the function values on Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points
, for , is differentiated with respect to by means of forward and backward FFTs on the function values . d02udf returns the computed derivative values
, for . The derivatives are computed with respect to the standard Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points on ; for derivatives of a function on the returned values have to be scaled by a factor .

On exit: the approximations to the derivatives of the function evaluated at the Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points. For functions defined on , the returned derivative values (corresponding to the domain ) must be multiplied by the factor to obtain the correct values on .
4: – IntegerInput/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to , or to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of means that an error message is printed while a value of means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value or is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value is recommended. Otherwise, the value is recommended. When the value or is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

7Accuracy
The accuracy is close to machine precision for small numbers of grid points, typically less than . For larger numbers of grid points, the error in differentiation grows with the number of grid points. See Greengard (1991) for more details.
8Parallelism and Performance
Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
d02udf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
d02udf 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.
9Further Comments
The number of operations is of the order and the memory requirements are ; thus the computation remains efficient and practical for very fine discretizations (very large values of ).
