UniVariatePolynomial

class UniVariatePolynomial(*args)

Base class for univariate polynomials.

Parameters
coefficientssequence of float

Polynomial coefficients in increasing polynomial order.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot

Create a univariate polynomial from a list of coefficients:

>>> P = ot.UniVariatePolynomial([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])
>>> print(P)
1 + 2 * X + 3 * X^2

Univariate polynomials are of course callable:

>>> print(P(1.0))
6.0

Addition, subtraction and multiplication of univariate polynomials:

>>> P = ot.UniVariatePolynomial([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])
>>> Q = ot.UniVariatePolynomial([1.0, 2.0])
>>> print('(%s) + (%s) = %s' % (P, Q, P + Q))
(1 + 2 * X + 3 * X^2) + (1 + 2 * X) = 2 + 4 * X + 3 * X^2
>>> print('(%s) - (%s) = %s' % (P, Q, P - Q))
(1 + 2 * X + 3 * X^2) - (1 + 2 * X) = 3 * X^2
>>> print('(%s) * (%s) = %s' % (P, Q, P * Q))
(1 + 2 * X + 3 * X^2) * (1 + 2 * X) = 1 + 4 * X + 7 * X^2 + 6 * X^3
