Various functions to create simple multivariate polynomials

Description

Various functions to create simple mvp objects such as single-term, homogeneous, and constant multivariate polynomials.

Usage

product(v,symbols=letters)
homog(d,power=1,symbols=letters)
linear(x,power=1,symbols=letters)
xyz(n,symbols=letters)
numeric_to_mvp(x)

Arguments

d, n	An integer; generally, the dimension or arity of the resulting mvp object
v, power	Integer vector of powers
x	Numeric vector of coefficients
symbols	Character vector for the symbols

Value

All functions documented here return a mvp object

Note

The functions here are related to their equivalents in the multipol and spray packages, but are not exactly the same.

Function constant() is documented at constant.Rd, but is listed below for convenience.

Examples

product(1:3)        #      a * b^2 * c^3
homog(3)            #      a + b + c
homog(3,2)          #      a^2  + a b + a c + b^2 + b c + c^2
linear(1:3)         #      1*a + 2*b + 3*c
constant(5)         #      5
xyz(5)              #      a*b*c*d*e
