# NAG Library Routine Document

## 1Purpose

d02uzf returns the value of the $k$th Chebyshev polynomial evaluated at a point $x\in \left[-1,1\right]$. d02uzf is primarily a utility routine for use by the Chebyshev boundary value problem solvers.

## 2Specification

Fortran Interface
 Subroutine d02uzf ( k, x, t,
 Integer, Intent (In) :: k Integer, Intent (Inout) :: ifail Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In) :: x Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (Out) :: t
#include nagmk26.h
 void d02uzf_ (const Integer *k, const double *x, double *t, Integer *ifail)

## 3Description

d02uzf returns the value, $T$, of the $k$th Chebyshev polynomial evaluated at a point $x\in \left[-1,1\right]$; that is, $T=\mathrm{cos}\left(k×\mathrm{arccos}\left(x\right)\right)$.

## 5Arguments

1:     $\mathbf{k}$ – IntegerInput
On entry: the order of the Chebyshev polynomial.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{k}}\ge 0$.
2:     $\mathbf{x}$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the point at which to evaluate the polynomial.
Constraint: $-1.0\le {\mathbf{x}}\le 1.0$.
3:     $\mathbf{t}$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Output
On exit: the value, $T$, of the Chebyshev polynomial order $k$ evaluated at $x$.
4:     $\mathbf{ifail}$ – IntegerInput/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to $0$, $-1\text{​ or ​}1$. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 3.4 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value $-1\text{​ or ​}1$ is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is $0$. When the value $-\mathbf{1}\text{​ or ​}\mathbf{1}$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ${\mathbf{ifail}}={\mathbf{0}}$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

## 6Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ${\mathbf{ifail}}=0$ or $-1$, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
${\mathbf{ifail}}=1$
On entry, ${\mathbf{k}}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{k}}\ge 0$.
${\mathbf{ifail}}=2$
On entry, ${\mathbf{x}}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $-1.0\le {\mathbf{x}}\le 1.0$.
${\mathbf{ifail}}=-99$
See Section 3.9 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.
${\mathbf{ifail}}=-399$

## 7Accuracy

The accuracy should be close to machine precision.

## 8Parallelism and Performance

d02uzf is not threaded in any implementation.

None.

## 10Example

A set of Chebyshev coefficients is obtained for the function $x+\mathrm{exp}\left(-x\right)$ defined on $\left[-0.24×\pi ,0.5×\pi \right]$ using d02ucf. At each of a set of new grid points in the domain of the function d02uzf is used to evaluate each Chebshev polynomial in the series representation. The values obtained are multiplied to the Chebyshev coefficients and summed to obtain approximations to the given function at the new grid points.
