/* chbevl.c
*
* Evaluate Chebyshev series
*
*
*
* SYNOPSIS:
*
* int N;
* double x, y, coef[N], chebevl();
*
* y = chbevl( x, coef, N );
*
*
*
* DESCRIPTION:
*
* Evaluates the series
*
* N-1
* - '
* y = > coef[i] T (x/2)
* - i
* i=0
*
* of Chebyshev polynomials Ti at argument x/2.
*
* Coefficients are stored in reverse order, i.e. the zero
* order term is last in the array. Note N is the number of
* coefficients, not the order.
*
* If coefficients are for the interval a to b, x must
* have been transformed to x -> 2(2x - b - a)/(b-a) before
* entering the routine. This maps x from (a, b) to (-1, 1),
* over which the Chebyshev polynomials are defined.
*
* If the coefficients are for the inverted interval, in
* which (a, b) is mapped to (1/b, 1/a), the transformation
* required is x -> 2(2ab/x - b - a)/(b-a). If b is infinity,
* this becomes x -> 4a/x - 1.
*
*
*
* SPEED:
*
* Taking advantage of the recurrence properties of the
* Chebyshev polynomials, the routine requires one more
* addition per loop than evaluating a nested polynomial of
* the same degree.
