Detailed Description

template<typename float_type = double>
class c2_inverse_function_p< float_type >

create the formal inverse function of another function

for example, given a c2_function f

c2_inverse_function<double> inv(f);
a=f(x);
x1=inv(a);

will return x1=x to machine precision. The important part of this is that the resulting function is a first-class c2_function, so it knows its derivatives, too, unlike the case of a simple root-finding inverse. This means it can be integrated (for example) quite efficiently.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename float_type = double>
virtual float_type c2_inverse_function_p< float_type >::get_start_hint ( float_type  x) const

get the starting hint.

This is virtual so if there is a better way, this can be easily overridden. It is used in value_with_derivatives() to guess where to start the root finder.

Parameters
xthe abscissa for which an estimate is needed

inline

set or unset the approximate function used to start the root finder

A hinting function is mostly useful if the evaluation of this inverse is going to be carried out in very non-local order, so the root finder has to start over for each step. If most evaluations are going to be made in fairly localized clusters (scanning through the function, for example), the default mechanism used (which just remembers the last point) is almost certainly faster.

Typically, the hinting function is likely to be set up by creating the inverse function, and then adaptively sampling an interpolating function from it, and then using the result to hint it. Another way, if the parent function is already an interpolating function, is just to create a version of the parent with the x & y coordinates reversed.

give the function a hint as to where to look for its inverse

Parameters
hintthe likely value of the inverse, which defaults to whatever the evaluation returned.

get the value and derivatives.

There is required checking for null pointers on the derivatives, and most implementations should operate faster if derivatives are not needed.

Parameters
[in]xthe point at which to evaluate the function
[out]yprimethe first derivative (if pointer is non-null)
[out]yprime2the second derivative (if pointer is non-null)
Returns
the value of the function
