polynomial.derivatives {orthopolynom}

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,\; \ldots ,\;n.

Usage

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
