The value of . If this value is passed to the integration function dim1_cheb_integ() with the coefficients of , the original polynomial is recovered, including its constant coefficient.

The Chebyshev coefficients of the derived polynomial . (The differentiation is with respect to the variable .) Specifically, element of contains the coefficient , for . Additionally, element is set to zero. A call of the function may have the array name the same as , provided that note is taken of the order in which elements are overwritten, when choosing the starting elements and increments and , i.e., the coefficients must be intact after coefficient is stored. In particular, it is possible to overwrite the completely by having , and the actual arrays for and identical.

Notes

dim1_cheb_deriv forms the polynomial which is the derivative of a given polynomial. Both the original polynomial and its derivative are represented in Chebyshev series form. Given the coefficients , for , of a polynomial of degree , where

the function returns the coefficients , for , of the polynomial of degree , where

Here denotes the Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind of degree with argument . It is assumed that the normalized variable in the interval was obtained from your original variable in the interval by the linear transformation

and that you require the derivative to be with respect to the variable . If the derivative with respect to is required, set and .

Values of the derivative can subsequently be computed, from the coefficients obtained, by using dim1_cheb_eval2().

The method employed is that of Chebyshev series (see Module 8 of Modern Computing Methods (1961)), modified to obtain the derivative with respect to . Initially setting , the function forms successively
