Hermetic is a package for working with multivariate standard and Hermitian polynomials.
Pkg.add("https://github.com/gragusa/Hermetic.jl.git")
There is a basic type: ProductPoly{T} where the parameter T is either Standard or Hermite.
A fourth order polynomial of dimension 2 (that is, two variables) is instantiated by:
p = ProductPoly(2, 4)
ProductPoly{Standard} - Dimension: 2 - Order: 4
P(z) =
+ 1.0 z^(0,0)
+ 0.0 z^(0,1)
+ 0.0 z^(1,0)
+ 0.0 z^(0,2)
+ 0.0 z^(1,1)
+ 0.0 z^(2,0)
+ 0.0 z^(0,3)
+ 0.0 z^(1,2)
+ 0.0 z^(2,1)
+ 0.0 z^(3,0)
+ 0.0 z^(0,4)
+ 0.0 z^(1,3)
+ 0.0 z^(2,2)
+ 0.0 z^(3,1)
+ 0.0 z^(4,0)
The default constructor set all the coefficients equal to zero except the coefficient on z^(0,0). Notice that the constructor leaves the polynomial uncompressed, that is, the constructor retains coefficients equal to zero.
Sometimes it can be useful only to consider terms whose exponents sum to an integer less than a given value. This is done using the Iz keyword. For instance,
q = ProductPoly(2, 4; Iz = 2)
In this case, the all the terms z^(i,j) with i + j > Iz are droppped from the poluynomial.
The coefficients of the polynomial are set using setcoef!
setcoef!(p, [1, .1, .2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4])
ProductPoly{Standard} - Dimension: 2 - Order: 4
P(z) =
+ 1.0 z^(0,0)
+ 0.1 z^(0,1)
+ 0.2 z^(1,0)
+ 0.3 z^(0,2)
+ 0.4 z^(1,1)
+ 0.5 z^(2,0)
+ 0.6 z^(0,3)
+ 0.7 z^(1,2)
+ 0.8 z^(2,1)
+ 0.9 z^(3,0)
+ 1.0 z^(0,4)
+ 1.1 z^(1,3)
+ 1.2 z^(2,2)
+ 1.3 z^(3,1)
+ 1.4 z^(4,0)
The following operation are defined for Standard polynomials:
- addition
p + q - multiplication
p * q - power
p^2
These operations compress the polynomial, that is, they remove terms premultiplied by a zero coefficient.
q = ProductPoly(2, 4)
setcoef!(q, [1, .0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.])
p * q
ProductPoly{Standard} - Dimension: 2 - Order: 4
P(z) =
+ 1.0 z^(0,0)
+ 0.1 z^(0,1)
+ 0.2 z^(1,0)
+ 0.3 z^(0,2)
+ 0.4 z^(1,1)
+ 0.5 z^(2,0)
+ 0.6 z^(0,3)
+ 0.7 z^(1,2)
+ 0.8 z^(2,1)
+ 0.9 z^(3,0)
+ 1.0 z^(0,4)
+ 1.1 z^(1,3)
+ 1.2 z^(2,2)
+ 1.3 z^(3,1)
+ 1.4 z^(4,0)
The polynomial can be evaluate by
polyval(p, x::Array{Float64, 2})
For instance, to evaluate p at point z = [1 2]
polyval(p, [1 2])
To evaluate the polynomial at different points
polyval(p, [1 2; -.3 .3])
A multivariate Hermite polynomial is defined as a standard polynomial, but the terms are themselves Hermite polynomials.
q = ProductPoly(Hermite, 2, 4)
ProductPoly{Hermite} - Dimension: 2 - Order: 4
P(z) =
+ 1.0 Hen(0,0)
+ 0.0 Hen(0,1)
+ 0.0 Hen(1,0)
+ 0.0 Hen(0,2)
+ 0.0 Hen(1,1)
+ 0.0 Hen(2,0)
+ 0.0 Hen(0,3)
+ 0.0 Hen(1,2)
+ 0.0 Hen(2,1)
+ 0.0 Hen(3,0)
+ 0.0 Hen(0,4)
+ 0.0 Hen(1,3)
+ 0.0 Hen(2,2)
+ 0.0 Hen(3,1)
+ 0.0 Hen(4,0)
Hen(j,i) = Hen(j)*Hen(i) and Hen(j) is the (probabilistic) Hermite polynomial of order j.
A ProductPoly{Hermite} can be converted to a standard one by convert(q::ProductPoly{Hermite}).
The same operations defined for Standard polynomials apply to Hermite polynomials, but the return type of these operations is ProductPoly{Standard}.
The Hermite polynomial is under the LGPL license.
Most of the credit for this package should go to John Burkardt and his code multivariate polynomials.
Of course, I will shoulder most of the blame for errors and omissions.
