Details

In the discrete Chebyshev–Gauss–Lobatto case, the interior points are given by . These points are the extrema of the Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind, .

The Chebyshev derivative matrix at the quadrature points is an matrix given by

, , for

and

for and ,

where for and .

The discrete Laplacian is given by , where is the identity matrix, is the Kronecker product operator, , and is without the first row and first column.
