Polynomial< T > Class Template Reference

Detailed Description

template<typename T = double>
class maliput::drake::Polynomial< T >

A scalar multi-variate polynomial, modeled after the msspoly in spotless.

Polynomial represents a list of additive Monomials, each one of which is a product of a constant coefficient (of T, which by default is double) and any number of distinct Terms (variables raised to positive integer powers).

Variables are identified by integer indices rather than symbolic names, but an automatic facility is provided to covert variable names up to four characters into unique integers, provided those variables are named using only lowercase letters and the "@#_." characters followed by a number. For example, valid names include "dx4" and "m_x".

Monomials which have the same variables and powers may be constructed but will be automatically combined: (3 * a * b * a) + (1.5 * b * a**2) will be reduced to (4.5 * b * a**2) internally after construction.

Polynomials can be added, subtracted, and multiplied. They may only be divided by scalars (of T) because Polynomials are not closed under division.

◆ PowerType

typedef int PowerType

This should be 'unsigned int' but MSVC considers a call to std::pow(..., unsigned int) ambiguous because it won't cast unsigned int to int.

◆ RealScalar

◆ RootsType

typedef Eigen::Matrix<RootType, Eigen::Dynamic, 1> RootsType

◆ RootType

typedef std::complex<RealScalar> RootType

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Polynomial() [1/9]

Polynomial ( void  )

Construct the vacuous polynomial, "0".

◆ Polynomial() [2/9]

Polynomial ( const T &  scalar)

Construct a Polynomial of a single constant. e.g. "5".

◆ Polynomial() [3/9]

Polynomial ( const T  coeff,
const std::vector< Term > &  terms 
)

Construct a Polynomial consisting of a single Monomial, e.g. "5xy**3".

◆ Polynomial() [4/9]

Polynomial ( typename std::vector< Monomial >::const_iterator  start,
typename std::vector< Monomial >::const_iterator  finish 
)

Construct a Polynomial from a sequence of Monomials.

◆ Polynomial() [5/9]

Polynomial ( const std::enable_if_t< std::is_same_v< U, double >, std::string > &  varname)
explicit

Constructs a polynomial consisting of a single Monomial of the variable named varname1.

Note
: This constructor is only provided for T = double. For the other cases, a user should use the constructor with two arguments below (taking std::string and unsigned int). If we provided this constructor for T = AutoDiffXd and T = symbolic::Expression, there would be compiler errors for Polynomial<T>(0) as the following candidates are ambiguous:

◆ Polynomial() [6/9]

Polynomial ( const std::string &  varname,
unsigned int  num 
)

Construct a polynomial consisting of a single Monomial of the variable named varname + num.

◆ Polynomial() [7/9]

Polynomial ( const T &  coeff,
const VarType v 
)

Construct a single Monomial of the given coefficient and variable.

◆ Polynomial() [8/9]

Polynomial ( Eigen::MatrixBase< Derived > const &  coefficients)
explicit

A legacy constructor for univariate polynomials: Takes a vector of coefficients for the constant, x, x**2, x**3...

Monomials.

◆ Polynomial() [9/9]

Polynomial ( typename vector< typename Polynomial< T >::Monomial >::const_iterator  start,
typename vector< typename Polynomial< T >::Monomial >::const_iterator  finish 
)

Member Function Documentation

◆ CoefficientsAlmostEqual()

boolean< T > CoefficientsAlmostEqual ( const Polynomial< T > &  other,
const RealScalar tol = 0.0,
const ToleranceType tol_type = ToleranceType::kAbsolute 
) const

Checks if a Polynomial is approximately equal to this one.

Checks that every coefficient of other is within tol of the corresponding coefficient of this Polynomial.

Note: When tol_type is kRelative, if any monomials appear in this or other but not both, then the method returns false (since the comparison is relative to a missing zero coefficient). Use kAbsolute if you want to ignore non-matching monomials with coefficients less than tol.

◆ Derivative()

Polynomial< T > Derivative ( int  derivative_order = 1) const

Takes the derivative of this (univariate) Polynomial.

Returns a new Polynomial that is the derivative of this one in its sole variable.

Exceptions
std::exceptionif this Polynomial is not univariate.

If derivative_order is given, takes the nth derivative of this Polynomial.

◆ DRAKE_DEFAULT_COPY_AND_MOVE_AND_ASSIGN()

DRAKE_DEFAULT_COPY_AND_MOVE_AND_ASSIGN ( Polynomial< T >  )

◆ EvaluateMultivariate()

Product<T, U>::type EvaluateMultivariate ( const std::map< VarType, U > &  var_values) const

Evaluate a multivariate Polynomial at a specific point.

Evaluates a Polynomial with the given values for each variable.

Exceptions
std::exceptionif the Polynomial contains variables for which values were not provided.

The provided values may be of any type which is std::is_arithmetic (supporting the std::pow, *, and + operations) and need not be CoefficientsType or RealScalar)

◆ EvaluatePartial()

Polynomial< T > EvaluatePartial ( const std::map< VarType, T > &  var_values) const

Substitute values for some but not necessarily all variables of a Polynomial.

Analogous to EvaluateMultivariate, but: (1) Restricted to T, and (2) Need not map every variable in var_values.

Returns a Polynomial in which each variable in var_values has been replaced with its value and constants appropriately combined.

◆ EvaluateUnivariate()

Product<T, U>::type EvaluateUnivariate ( const U &  x,
int  derivative_order = 0 
) const

Evaluate a univariate Polynomial at a specific point.

Evaluates a univariate Polynomial at the given x.

Exceptions
std::exceptionif this Polynomial is not univariate.

x may be of any type supporting the ** and + operations (which can be different from both CoefficientsType and RealScalar).

This method may also be used for efficient evaluation of the derivatives of the univariate polynomial, evaluated at x. derivative_order = 0 (the default) returns the polynomial value without differentiation. derivative_order = 1 returns the first derivative, etc.

Precondition
derivative_order must be non-negative.

◆ GetCoefficients()

Matrix< T, Dynamic, 1 > GetCoefficients

◆ GetDegree()

int GetDegree

Returns the highest degree of any Monomial in this Polynomial.

The degree of a multivariate Monomial is the product of the degrees of each of its terms.

◆ GetMonomials()

const std::vector< typename Polynomial< T >::Monomial > & GetMonomials

◆ GetNumberOfCoefficients()

int GetNumberOfCoefficients

Returns the number of unique Monomials (and thus the number of coefficients) in this Polynomial.

◆ GetSimpleVariable()

Polynomial< T >::VarType GetSimpleVariable

If the polynomial is "simple" – e.g.

just a single term with coefficient 1 – then returns that variable; otherwise returns 0.

◆ GetVariables()

std::set< typename Polynomial< T >::VarType > GetVariables

Returns a set of all of the variables present in this Polynomial.

◆ IdToVariableName()

string IdToVariableName ( const VarType  id)
static

◆ Integral()

Polynomial< T > Integral ( const T &  integration_constant = 0.0) const

Takes the integral of this (univariate, non-constant) Polynomial.

Returns a new Polynomial that is the indefinite integral of this one in its sole variable.

Exceptions
std::exceptionif this Polynomial is not univariate, or if it has no variables.

If integration_constant is given, adds that constant as the constant term (zeroth-order coefficient) of the resulting Polynomial.

◆ IsAffine()

bool IsAffine

Returns true iff this is a sum of terms of degree 1, plus a constant.

bool IsValidVariableName ( const std::string  name)
static
