First steps: clone this Chebfun [https://github.com/cbm755/chebfun/tree/octave_dev octave_dev branch]. On that, "f = chebfun(@(x) sin(x), [-2 6])" should work with Octave 4.3.0+ and maybe even with 4.2.1. Check that "f(pi)" and "g = f + 1" work. A good first task would be to study [https://github.com/cbm755/chebfun/commit/e20b0ad2dc89cfe8e50ba461b864eff7d5bbef17 this commit], a workaround for "f.funs{1}" using "temp = f.funs; temp{1}". "2*f" is failing, can you fix it, perhaps with this workaround? Or can you make "f.funs{1}" work by changing something in "@chebfun/subsref.m"? | |||
