The function calculates the monomial basis of Chebyshev polynomials for the given unidimensional nodes, s_{i}, over a bounded interval [a,b].

1	chebbasisgen(stock, npol, a, b, dorder = NULL)

`stock`	An array of Chebyshev polynomial nodes s_{i} (an array of stocks in `capn`-packages)
`npol`	Number of polynomials (n polynomials = (n-1)-th degree)
`a`	The lower bound of inverval [a,b]
`b`	The upper bound of inverval [a,b]
`dorder`	Degree of partial derivative of the basis; Default is NULL; if dorder = 1, returns the first order partial derivative

Suppose there are m numbers of Chebyshev nodes over a bounded interval [a,b]:

s_{i} \in [a,b], for i = 1,2,\cdots,m.

These nodes can be nomralized to the standard Chebyshev nodes over the domain [-1,1]:

z_{i} = \frac{2(s_{i} - a)}{(b - a)} - 1.

With normalized Chebyshev nodes, the recurrence relations of Chebyshev polynomials of order n is defined as:

T_{0} (z_{i}) = 1,
T_{1} (z_{i}) = z_{i}, and
T_{n} (z_{i}) = 2 z_{i} T_{n-1} (z_{i}) - T_{n-2} (z_{i}).

The interpolation matrix (Vandermonde matrix) of (n-1)-th Chebyshev polynomials with m nodes, Φ_{mn} is:

Φ_{mn} = ≤ft[ \begin{array}{ccccc} 1 & T_{1} (z_{1}) & \cdots & T_{n-1} (z_{1})\\ 1 & T_{1} (z_{2}) & \cdots & T_{n-1} (z_{2})\\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots\\ 1 & T_{1} (z_{m}) & \cdots & T_{n-1} (z_{m}) \end{array} \right] .

The partial derivative of the monomial basis matrix can be found by the relation:

(1-z_{i}^{2}) T'_{n} (z_{i}) = n[ T_{n-1} (z_{i}) - z_{i} T_{n} (z_{i}) ].
