chebyshev_series


chebyshev_series, a C code which can evaluate a Chebyshev series approximating a function f(x), while efficiently computing one, two or three derivatives of the series, which approximate f'(x), f''(x), and f'''(x), by Manfred Zimmer.

Note that 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.

CHEBYSHEV_INTERP_1D, a C code which determines the combination of Chebyshev polynomials which interpolates a set of data, so that p(x(i)) = y(i).

CHEBYSHEV_POLYNOMIAL, a C code which considers the Chebyshev polynomials T(i,x), U(i,x), V(i,x) and W(i,x). Functions are provided to evaluate the polynomials, determine their zeros, produce their polynomial coefficients, produce related quadrature rules, project other functions onto these polynomial bases, and integrate double and triple products of the polynomials.
