Class ChainRuleDiffRules

java.lang.Object
  org.lsmp.djep.djep.diffRules.ChainRuleDiffRules

All Implemented Interfaces:

DiffRulesI

Direct Known Subclasses:

MacroDiffRules, MacroFunctionDiffRules

public abstract class ChainRuleDiffRules

extends java.lang.Object

implements DiffRulesI

Common methods used when the rules are specified by node trees or strings. All subclasses use the chain rule to differentiate. df(g(x),h(x))/dx -> df/dg * dg/dx + df/dh * dh/dx Variable names MUST be x,y for 1 to 2 variables or x1,x2,x3 for 3 for more variables.

Field Summary

protected java.lang.String	name
protected PostfixMathCommandI	pfmc
protected Node[]	rules

Constructor Summary

ChainRuleDiffRules()
Cannot construct outside the context of a differentation visitor.

Method Summary

Node	differentiate(ASTFunNode node, java.lang.String var, Node[] children, Node[] dchildren, DJep djep) Use the chain rule to differentiate.
java.lang.String	getName() returns the name of the function
int	getNumRules() Returns the number of rules which should be number of arguments of function
PostfixMathCommandI	getPfmc() returns the PostfixMathCommandI for the function.
Node	getRule(int i) returns the i-th rule as an expression tree.
java.lang.String	toString() Returns a string representation of the rule.
