23 ## |
|
|
24 ## In octave, a polynomial is represented by it's coefficients (arranged |
|
|
25 ## in descending order). For example a vector c of length n+1 corresponds |
|
|
26 ## to the following nth order polynomial |
|
|
27 ## |
|
|
28 ## p(x) = c(1) x^n + ... + c(n) x + c(n+1). |
|
|
29 ## |
|
|
30 ## polyvalm(c,X) will evaluate the polynomial in the matrix sense, i.e. matrix |
|
|
31 ## multiplication is used instead of element by element multiplication as is |
|
|
32 ## used in polyval. |
|
|
33 ## |
|
|
34 ## X must be a square matrix. |
|
