Constructor Detail

Quartic

public Quartic()

Create a new instance of Quadric. Domain defaults to R(-1.28, 1.28)^30.

Method Detail

getClone

public Quartic getClone()

Create a cloned copy of the current object and return it. In general the created copy will be a deep copy of the provided instance. As a result this operation an be quite expensive if used incorrectly.

Specified by:

getClone in interface Cloneable

Specified by:

getClone in class ContinuousFunction

Returns:

An exact clone of the current object instance.

Specified by:

evaluate in class ContinuousFunction

Parameters:

x - The input Vector.

Returns:

The value of the evaluation.
