polynomial.powers {orthopolynom}R Documentation

Create a list of polynomial linear combinations

Description

This function returns a list with $n$+1 elements containing the vector of linear combinations of the order $k$ polynomials for orders $k$ = 0, 1,..., $n$. Each element in the list is a vector.

Usage

polynomial.powers(polynomials)

Arguments

polynomials ~~Describe polynomials here~~

Details

The $j$-th component in the list is a vector of linear combinations of the order $k$ polynomials for orders $k$ = 0, 1, ..., $j-1$ equal to the monomial x raised to the power $j$-1.

Value

A list of $n$+1 elements where each element is a vector of linear combinations.

1 Linear combination(s) of polynomials up to order 0
2 Linear combination(s) of polynomials up to order 1
n+1 Linear combination(s) of polynomials up to order $n$
