  • Constructor Details

    • Exponential

      public Exponential(MathFunction chain, double factor)
      Construct a new Exponential of a MathFunction.
      Parameters:
      chain - the MathFunction that yields the exponent
      factor - the value of the Exponential function when MathFunction yields 0.0

    • Exponential

      public Exponential(MathFunction chain)
      Construct a new Exponential of a MathFunction.
      Parameters:
      chain - the MathFunction that yields the exponent

    • Exponential

      public Exponential(double factor)
      Construct a new Exponential.
      Parameters:
      factor - the value of the Exponential at x == 0.0

    • Exponential

      public Exponential()
      Construct the ex function.

  • Method Details

    • apply

      public Double apply(Double x)
      Specified by:
      apply in interface Function<Double,Double>

    • getDerivative

      public MathFunction getDerivative()
      Description copied from interface: MathFunction
      Returns the derivative of the data with respect to fractional length.
      Specified by:
      getDerivative in interface MathFunction
      Returns:
      derivative of this MathFunction

    • simplify

      public MathFunction simplify()
      Description copied from interface: MathFunction
      Attempts to find a simplified version of this MathFunction (e.g. replace 1 - 5 by -4).
      Specified by:
      simplify in interface MathFunction
      Returns:
      this, or a simplified version thereof

    • scaleBy

      public MathFunction scaleBy(double scaleFactor)
      Description copied from interface: MathFunction
      Incorporate a multiplication factor to this MathFunction.
      Specified by:
      scaleBy in interface MathFunction
      Parameters:
      scaleFactor - the factor to incorporate
      Returns:
      a new MathFunction that yields the same result as the original function multiplied by the factor

    • sortPriority

      public int sortPriority()
      Description copied from interface: MathFunction
      Sorting priority of this type of MathFunction (low values shall sort before higher).
      Specified by:
      sortPriority in interface MathFunction
      Returns:
      sorting priority of this type of MathFunction

    • compareWithinSubType

      public int compareWithinSubType(MathFunction other)
      Description copied from interface: MathFunction
      Determine sorting order among instances of a particular sub type of MathFunction. The sorting order should sort MathFunctions that may be combined next to one another. Because MathFunctions are also used in SortedSets, this comparator may return 0 if and only if this and other are entirely equal!
      Specified by:
      compareWithinSubType in interface MathFunction
      Parameters:
      other - the other MathFunction that must be of the same type
      Returns:
      int; < 0 when this sorts before other; > 0 when this sorts after other; 0 when this and other are identical

    • mergeAdd

      public MathFunction mergeAdd(MathFunction other)
      Description copied from interface: MathFunction
      This MathFunction is added to another; try to replace both by a combined MathFunction.
      Specified by:
      mergeAdd in interface MathFunction
      Parameters:
      other - the other MathFunction
      Returns:
      combined MathFunction, or null when the two could not be combined

    • getKnotReport

      public KnotReport getKnotReport(Interval<?> interval)
      Description copied from interface: MathFunction
      Report what is known about knots of this MathFunction in some Interval. The report does not take chained functions into account.
      Specified by:
      getKnotReport in interface MathFunction
      Parameters:
      interval - the Interval on which knowledge of knots is requested
      Returns:
      summary of what is known about knots in the Interval

    • getKnots

      public SortedSet<Double> getKnots(Interval<?> interval)
      Description copied from interface: MathFunction
      Report all knots of this MathFunction in some Interval. Throws IllegalStateException when the number of knots in the Interval is not known, or infinite.
      Specified by:
      getKnots in interface MathFunction
      Parameters:
      interval - the Interval over which the knots must be reported
      Returns:
      all the knots of this MathFunction in the requested Interval
