29 // Class description:
30 //
31 // Class creating the Chebyshev approximation for a function pointed by fFunction
32 // data member. The Chebyshev polinom approximation provides an efficient evaluation
33 // of minimax polynomial, which (among all polynomials of the same degree) has the
34 // smallest maximum deviation from the true function.
35 // The methods based mainly on recommendations given in the book : An introduction to
36 // NUMERICAL METHODS IN C++, B.H. Flowers, Claredon Press, Oxford, 1995
37 //
38 // ------------------------- MEMBER DATA ------------------------------------
39 //
40 // function fFunction - pointer to a function considered
41 // G4int fNumber - number of Chebyshev coefficients
42 // G4double* fChebyshevCof - array of Chebyshev coefficients
43 // G4double fMean = (a+b)/2 - mean point of interval
44 // G4double fDiff = (b-a)/2 - half of the interval value
45 //
46 // ------------------------ CONSTRUCTORS ----------------------------------
47 //
48 // Constructor for initialisation of the class data members. It creates the array
49 // fChebyshevCof[0,...,fNumber-1], fNumber = n ; which consists of Chebyshev
50 // coefficients describing the function pointed by pFunction. The values a and b
51 // fixe the interval of validity of Chebyshev approximation.

59 //
60 // Constructor for creation of Chebyshev coefficients for m-derivative
61 // from pFunction. The value of m ! MUST BE ! < n , because the result
62 // array of fChebyshevCof will be of (n-m) size. There is a definite dependence
63 // between the proper selection of n, m, a and b values to get better accuracy
64 // of the derivative value.
