public class DerivativeStructure
Class representing both the value and the differentials of a function.
This class is the workhorse of the differentiation package.
This class is an implementation of the extension to Rall's numbers described in Dan Kalman's paper Doubly Recursive Multivariate Automatic Differentiation, Mathematics Magazine, vol. 75, no. 3, June 2002.
. Rall's numbers are an extension to the real numbers used throughout mathematical expressions; they hold the derivative together with the value of a function. Dan Kalman's derivative structures hold all partial derivatives up to any specified order, with respect to any number of free parameters. Rall's numbers therefore can be seen as derivative structures for order one derivative and one free parameter, and real numbers can be seen as derivative structures with zero order derivative and no free parameters.DerivativeStructure
instances can be used directly thanks to
the arithmetic operators to the mathematical functions provided as static
methods by this class (+, -, *, /, %, sin, cos ...).
Implementing complex expressions by hand using these classes is
a tedious and error-prone task but has the advantage of having no limitation
on the derivation order despite no requiring users to compute the derivatives by
themselves. Implementing complex expression can also be done by developing computation
code using standard primitive double values and to use differentiators
to create the DerivativeStructure
-based instances. This method is simpler but may be limited in
the accuracy and derivation orders and may be computationally intensive (this is
typically the case for finite differences
differentiator
.
Instances of this class are guaranteed to be immutable.
