Detailed Description

template<typename CoeffT>
class Teuchos::Polynomial< CoeffT >

Lightweight container class to represent a simple polynomial.

This class represents a simple polynomial of the form:

\[ x(t) = \sum_{i=0}^d x_i t^i \]

where $d$ is the degree of the polynomial and $t$ is a scalar. The coefficients $x_i$, $i=0,\dots,d$ can be scalars, vectors, operators, etc., any type that can implement Teuchos::PolynomialTraits. A template specialization of Teuchos::PolynomialTraits must be provided for the coefficient type, however Teuchos::PolynomailTraits does provide a default template definition for scalars.

This class provides methods for creating a polynomial of some degree, setting and retreiving coefficients, and evaluating the polynomial and its derivative at some value $t$.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename CoeffT>
Teuchos::Polynomial< CoeffT >::Polynomial (  unsigned int  deg,
const CoeffT &  cloneCoeff,
unsigned int  reserve = 0
) 
 

Create a polynomial of degree deg.

If reserve > deg, a polynomial of degree deg will be created, but space for reserve + 1 coefficients will be created to allow future increases in the degree of the polynomial to be more efficient. A clone of cloneCoeff will be placed at each coefficient.

Definition at line 36 of file Teuchos_Polynomial.hpp.

template<typename CoeffT>
Teuchos::Polynomial< CoeffT >::Polynomial (  unsigned int  deg,
unsigned int  reserve = 0
) 
 

Create a polynomial of degree deg without cloning. DANGEROUS!

In this version of the constructor, no clone object is provided, and therefore no storage will be created for each coefficient. In this case, setCoefficientPtr() below should be used to set each coefficient pointer to a valid cofficient. This constructor exists to be able to create an efficient "view" of another polynomial.

template<typename CoeffT>
Teuchos::Polynomial< CoeffT >::~Polynomial (   ) 
 

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename CoeffT>
unsigned int Teuchos::Polynomial< CoeffT >::degree (   )  const [inline]
 

Return degree of polynomial.

Definition at line 89 of file Teuchos_PolynomialDecl.hpp.

template<typename CoeffT>
void Teuchos::Polynomial< CoeffT >::setDegree (  unsigned int  deg  ) 
 

Set degree of polynomial to deg.

Definition at line 71 of file Teuchos_Polynomial.hpp.

template<typename CoeffT>
Teuchos::RefCountPtr< CoeffT > Teuchos::Polynomial< CoeffT >::getCoefficient (  unsigned int  i  ) 
 

Return ref-count pointer to coefficient i.

Definition at line 86 of file Teuchos_Polynomial.hpp.

template<typename CoeffT>
Teuchos::RefCountPtr< const CoeffT > Teuchos::Polynomial< CoeffT >::getCoefficient (  unsigned int  i  )  const
 

Return ref-count pointer to constant coefficient i.

Definition at line 100 of file Teuchos_Polynomial.hpp.

template<typename CoeffT>
void Teuchos::Polynomial< CoeffT >::setCoefficient (  unsigned int  i,
const CoeffT &  v
) 
 

Set coefficient i to c.

Definition at line 114 of file Teuchos_Polynomial.hpp.

template<typename CoeffT>
void Teuchos::Polynomial< CoeffT >::setCoefficientPtr (  unsigned int  i,
const Teuchos::RefCountPtr< CoeffT > &  c_ptr
) 
 

Set pointer for coefficient i to c_ptr. DANGEROUS!

Directly set the coefficient pointer to c_ptr. This method should be used with care since future calls to setCoefficient(i,c) will also modify the coefficient pointed to c_ptr. However, in certain situations it is necessary to do this for efficiency.

Definition at line 132 of file Teuchos_Polynomial.hpp.

template<typename CoeffT>
void Teuchos::Polynomial< CoeffT >::evaluate (  typename Teuchos::Polynomial< CoeffT >::scalar_type  t,
CoeffT *  x,
CoeffT *  xdot = NULL
)  const
 

Evaluate polynomial and possibly its derivative at time t.

The value of the polynomial at t is computed and stored in *x. If xdot is not NULL, the derivative with respect to t is evaluated and stored in *xdot.

Horner's method is used to efficiently evaluate the polynomial and its derivative.
