Package Exports

@stdlib/math-base-tools-hermitepoly

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/math-base-tools-hermitepoly) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Physicist's Hermite Polynomial

$NPM version$ $Build Status$ $Coverage Status$ $dependencies$

Evaluate a physicist's Hermite polynomial.

The physicist's Hermite polynomials are given by

$Equation for physicist's Hermite polynomials.$

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-tools-hermitepoly

Usage

var hermitepoly = require( '@stdlib/math-base-tools-hermitepoly' );

hermitepoly( n, x )

Evaluates a physicist's Hermite polynomial of degree n.

var v = hermitepoly( 1, 1.0 );
// returns 2.0

v = hermitepoly( 1, 0.5 );
// returns ~1.0

v = hermitepoly( -1, 0.5 );
// returns NaN

v = hermitepoly( 0, 0.5 );
// returns 1.0

v = hermitepoly( 2, 0.5 );
// returns -1.0

hermitepoly.factory( n )

Returns a function for evaluating a physicist's Hermite polynomial of degree n.

var polyval = hermitepoly.factory( 2 );

var v = polyval( 0.5 );
// returns -1.0

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu');
var hermitepoly = require( '@stdlib/math-base-tools-hermitepoly' );

var x;
var y;
var i;
var j;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = (randu()*100.0) - 50.0;
    for ( j = 1; j < 3; j++ ) {
        y = hermitepoly( j, x );
        console.log( 'H_%d( %d ) = %d', j, x.toFixed( 3 ), y.toFixed( 3 ) );
    }
}
