lagrange_polynomial#

This module contains the LagrangePolynomial class.

The LagrangePolynomial class is a concrete implementation of the abstract base class MultivariatePolynomialSingleABC for polynomials in the Lagrange basis.

Background information#

The relevant section of the documentation on Lagrange basis contains a more detailed explanation regarding the polynomials in the Lagrange form.

Implementation details#

LagrangePolynomial is currently designed to be a bare concrete implementation of the abstract base class MultivariatePolynomialSingleABC. In other words, most (if not all) concrete implementation of the abstract methods are left undefined and will raise an exception when called or invoked.

LagrangePolynomial serves as an entry point to Minterpy polynomials especially in the context of function approximations because the intuitiveness of the corresponding coefficients (i.e., they are the function values at the grid points). However, the polynomial itself is not fully featured (e.g., no addition, multiplication, etc.) as compared to polynomials in the other basis.

Bases: MultivariatePolynomialSingleABC

Concrete implementation of polynomials in the Lagrange basis.

A polynomial in the Lagrange basis is the sum of so-called Lagrange polynomials, each of which is multiplied with a coefficient.

The value a single Lagrange monomial is per definition \(1\) at one of the grid points and \(0\) on all the other points.

Notes

  • The Lagrange polynomials commonly appear in the Wikipedia article is in Minterpy considered the “monomial”. In other words, a polynomial in the Lagrange basis is the sum of Lagrange monomials each of which is multiplied with a coefficient.

  • A polynomial in the Lagrange basis may also be defined also for multi-indices of exponents which are not downward-closed. In such cases, the corresponding Lagrange monomials also form a basis. These mononomials still possess their special property of being \(1\) at a single grid point and \(0\) at all the other points, with respect to the given grid.

__mul__(other)#

  • a polynomial is multiplied with a real scalar number: P1 * a, where a is a real scalar number.

Polynomials are closed under scalar multiplication, meaning that the result of the multiplication is also a polynomial with the same underlying multi-index set; only the coefficients are altered.

Parameters:

__neg__()#

Negate the polynomial(s) instance.

This function is called when a polynomial is negated via the - operator, e.g., -P.

Returns:

New polynomial(s) instance with negated coefficients.

Return type:

MultivariatePolynomialSingleABC

Notes

  • The resulting polynomial is a deep copy of the original polynomial.

This function is called when a polynomial is plus signed via the + operator, e.g., +P.

Returns:

The same polynomial

Return type:

__pow__(power)#

Returns:

The result of exponentiation, an instance of a concrete polynomial class.

Return type:

MultivariatePolynomialSingleABC

Notes

  • Exponentiation by zero returns a constant polynomial whose coefficients are zero except for the constant term with respect to the multi-index set which is given a value of \(1.0\). In the case of polynomials in the Lagrange basis whose no constant term with respect to the multi-index set, all coefficients are set to \(1.0\).

This function is called if a real scalar number is multiplied with a polynomial like a * P where a and P are a scalar and a polynomial instance, respectively.

Returns:

The result of subtracting a scalar value by the polynomial.

Return type:

MultivariatePolynomialSingleABC

Notes

  • If the left operand is not a real scalar number, the right-sided subtraction is not explicitly supported, and it will rely on the __add__() method of the left operand.

  • This operation relies on the negation of a polynomial and scalar addition

__sub__(other)#

Subtract the polynomial(s) with another poly. or a real scalar.

This function is called when:

  • two polynomials are subtracted: P1 - P2, where P1 and P2 are both instances of a concrete polynomial class.

  • a polynomial is added with a real scalar number: P1 - a, where a is a real scalar number.

Polynomials are closed under scalar subtraction, meaning that the result of the subtraction is also a polynomial with the same underlying multi-index set; only the coefficients are altered.

Parameters:

other (Union[MultivariatePolynomialSingleABC, SCALAR]) – The right operand, either an instance of polynomial (of the same concrete class as the right operand) or a real scalar number.

Returns:

The result of the subtraction, an instance of subtracted polynomial.

ValueError – If the coefficients of an uninitialized polynomial are accessed.

Notes

  • coeffs may be assigned with None to indicate an uninitialized

    polynomial. Accessing such coefficients, however, raises an exception. Many operations involving polynomial instances, require the instance to be initialized and raising the exception here provides a common single point of failure.

Returns:

A new instance of polynomial whose spatial dimension has been expanded to the target.

Return type:

MultivariatePolynomialSingleABC

Raises:

ValueError – If the target dimension is an int, the exception is raised when the user or internal domains cannot be extrapolated to a higher dimension. If the target dimension is an instance of MultivariatePolynomialSingleABC, the exception is raised when the user or internal domains do no match. In both cases, an exception may also be raised by attempting to expand the dimension of the underlying Grid or MultiIndexSet instances.

  • internal_domain (np.ndarray or callable) – the internal domain (factory) where the polynomials are defined on, e.g. \([-1,1]^d\) where \(d\) is the dimension of the domain space. If a callable is passed, it shall get the dimension of the domain space and returns the internal_domain as an np.ndarray.

  • user_domain (np.ndarray or callable) – the domain window (factory), from which the arguments of a polynomial are transformed to the internal domain. If a callable is passed, it shall get the dimension of the domain space and returns the user_domain as an np.ndarray.
