1 Purpose

d02ubc evaluates a function, or one of its lower order derivatives, from its Chebyshev series representation at Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points on [a,b]. The coefficients of the Chebyshev series representation required are usually derived from those returned by d02uac or d02uec.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  d02ubc (Integer n, double a, double b, Integer q, const double c[], double f[], NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: d02ubc or nag_ode_bvp_ps_lin_cgl_vals.

3 Description

d02ubc evaluates the Chebyshev series
S (x¯) = 12 c1 T0 (x¯) + c2 T1 (x¯) + c3T2 (x¯) ++ cn+1 Tn (x¯) ,  
or its derivative (up to fourth order) at the Chebyshev Gauss–Lobatto points on [a,b]. 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.
The calculation is implemented by a forward one-dimensional discrete Fast Fourier Transform (DFT).

7 Accuracy

Evaluations of DFT to obtain function or derivative values should be an order n multiple of machine precision assuming full accuracy to machine precision in the given Chebyshev series representation.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
d02ubc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
d02ubc 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).
