Method Detail

getFreeParameters

int getFreeParameters()

Get the number of free parameters.

Returns:

number of free parameters

getOrder

int getOrder()

Get the derivation order.

Returns:

derivation order

getValue

double getValue()

Get the value part of the function.

Returns:

value part of the value of the function

getPartialDerivative

double getPartialDerivative(int... orders)
                     throws MathIllegalArgumentException

Get a partial derivative.

Parameters:

orders - derivation orders with respect to each variable (if all orders are 0, the value is returned)

Returns:

partial derivative

Throws:

MathIllegalArgumentException - if the numbers of variables does not match the instance

MathIllegalArgumentException - if sum of derivation orders is larger than the instance limits

See Also:

getValue()

compose

T compose(double... f)
   throws MathIllegalArgumentException

Compute composition of the instance by a univariate function.

Parameters:

f - array of value and derivatives of the function at the current point (i.e. [f(getValue()), f'(getValue()), f''(getValue())...]).

Returns:

f(this)

Throws:

MathIllegalArgumentException - if the number of derivatives in the array is not equal to order + 1
