10  Example

A set of Chebyshev coefficients is obtained for the function x+exp-x defined on -0.24×π,0.5×π using nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_cgl_grid (d02ucc). At each of a set of new grid points in the domain of the function nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_cheb_eval (d02uzc) 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.
