Productrule

Description

Productrule for derivs objects.

Usage

productrule(f_list, tri, deriv_order)

Arguments

f_list	list of derivs objects of length M, e.g. list(f_1(\cdot), f_2(\cdot),...,f_M(\cdot))
tri	list; created by the function [trind_generator()].
deriv_order	integer; maximum order of derivative. Available are 0,2 and 4.

Details

Let f_m be a function defined in [trind()], where m \in {1,...,M}. Define h((x_{n1},x_{n2},...,x_{nK})) = f_1(\cdot) \cdot f_2(\cdot) ... \cdot f_M(x_{n1},x_{n2},...,x_{nK})). In order to get the derivatives of h(\cdot) w.r.t all parameters x_{nk}, the productrule is applied. For more details see [trind()] and [trind_generator()].

Value

Returns an object of class derivs for the function h(\cdot).

A_derivs<-list2derivs(list(A, A^0, A^2, A^3, A^4), deriv_order=2)
B_derivs<-derivs_transform(A, type="inv", par=0,  trind_generator(1), deriv_order=2)
productrule (list(A_derivs, B_derivs), trind_generator(1), deriv_order=2) #identity
