How to Change the Interval of Interpolation from [-1,1] to [a,b] for Chebyshev Nodes












1














(According to this website:http://fac-staff.seattleu.edu/difranco/web/Math_371_W11/Files/Chebyshevnodes.pdf)



Between [-1,1], the Chebyshev Nodes are given as:



$x_k = cosBig((2k-1)pi/2n)Big), k=1,......,n$



and over [a,b] it is given as:



$x_k= 0.5(a+b) +0.5(b-a)cosBig((2k-1)(3.14159)/2n)Big)$



What is the logic behind this transformation?



Similarly, the maximum error over [-1,1] is given as : $1/2^{n-1}$



Over [a,b], why is the error: $(b-a)^{n+1}/2^{2n+1}$?

  • I replace $3.14159$ by $pi$, note that you erroneously used $pi$ instead on $n$ at two places.

This is the simple linear transformation $T: [-1,1] rightarrow [a,b],quad T(x)=alpha x + beta,$ and $T(-1)=a,; T(+1)=b.$ Now use
$$a=T(-1)=-alpha + beta,quad b=T(+1)=+alpha + beta$$
to get the values
$$alpha = frac{1}{2}(b-a),quad beta = frac{1}{2}(b+a)$$



It is not quite clear what $n$ is in your example (you have non standard indices $1..n,$ but the error scales with $alpha^{n+1}$ for a polynomial with degree $n+1$ and you get
$$mathrm{err} = frac{1}{2^n} alpha^{n+1}=frac{1}{2^n} left(frac{b-a}{2}right)^{n+1}=frac{1}{2^{n+1}} left(b-aright)^{n+1}$$
