chebyshev_series


chebyshev_series, a C++ code which evaluates a Chebyshev series approximating a function f(x), while efficiently computing one, two, three or four derivatives of the series, by Manfred Zimmer.

This library does not compute a Chebyshev series; it assumes that the series has already been computed, and offers an efficient means of evaluating the series and its derivatives simultaneously.
