function C = chebvand(m,p)
%CHEBVAND  Vandermonde-like matrix for the Chebyshev polynomials.
%          C = CHEBVAND(P), where P is a vector, produces the (primal)
%          Chebyshev Vandermonde matrix based on the points P,
%          i.e., C(i,j) = T_{i-1}(P(j)), where T_{i-1} is the Chebyshev
%          polynomial of degree i-1.
%          CHEBVAND(M,P) is a rectangular version of CHEBVAND(P) with M rows.
%          Special case: If P is a scalar then P equally spaced points on
%                        [0,1] are used.
