Interface GradientFunction
- All Superinterfaces:
- AbstractMapping
- All Known Subinterfaces:
- LaplacianFunction
public interface GradientFunction
- extends AbstractMapping
The interface GradientFunction defines the methods that must be implemented
for a class to represent a function with a gradient (the counterpart of the
derivative for multidimensional functions). It should be used for a
function of 2 (or 3) to 1 parameters on R.
