iteration with for for a simple computation

1 view (last 30 days)
I'd like do write this expression in a more compact and generic way, like with a for:
T = c(1)*cos(0) + c(2).*cos(1.*acos((m))) + c(3).*cos(2.*acos((m))) + c(4).*cos(3.*acos((m))) + ...
c(5).*cos(4.*acos((m)));
where the vector m and c are in attached.

One way amongst many...
z=acos(m); % precompute the constant array
T=c(1)+sum(cell2mat(arrayfun(@(c,i) c*cos(i*z),c(2:end),[1:numel(c)-1].','UniformOutput',false)));
The straight for...end loop might be quicker and probably easier to read.
I don't know if the JIT optimizer can find and eliminate the redundant calculation of acos(m) on its own or not; didn't try any timing tests...
