polynomial.derivatives: Create list of polynomial derivatives

In orthopolynom: Collection of Functions for Orthogonal and Orthonormal Polynomials

Create list of polynomial derivatives

Description

This function returns a list with n + 1 elements containing polynomial objects which are the derivatives of the order k polynomials for orders k = 0,\;1,\; … ,\;n.

Usage

polynomial.derivatives(polynomials)

Arguments

polynomials

list of polynomial objects

Details

The polynomial objects in the argument polynomials are as follows

• 1order 0 polynomial

• 2order 1 polynomial ...

• n+1order n polynomial

Value

List of n + 1 polynomial objects

1	derivative of polynomials[[1]]
2	derivative of polynomials[[2]]

...

n+1	derivative of polynomials[[n+1]]
