Purpose

nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_quad_weights (d02uyc) obtains the weights for Clenshaw–Curtis quadrature at Chebyshev points. This allows for fast approximations of integrals for functions specified on Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points on -1,1.

#include <nagd02.h>
void  nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_quad_weights (Integer n, double w[], NagError *fail)

Description

nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_quad_weights (d02uyc) obtains the weights for Clenshaw–Curtis quadrature at Chebyshev points.
Given the (Clenshaw–Curtis) weights wi, for i=0,1,,n, and function values fi=fti (where ti=-cosi×π/n, for i=0,1,,n, are the Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points), then -1 1 fx dx i=0 n wi fi .
For a function discretized on a Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto grid on a,b the resultant summation must be multiplied by the factor b-a/2.
