Interface LaplacianFunction
- All Superinterfaces:
- AbstractMapping, GradientFunction
public interface LaplacianFunction
- extends GradientFunction
The interface LaplacianFunction defines the methods that must be implemented
for a class to represent a function with a laplacian (the counterpart of
the second derivative for multidimensional functions). It should be used
for a function of 2 (or 3) to 1 parameters on R.
getScalarLaplacian
AbstractMapping getScalarLaplacian()
- Returns the Laplacian of this function, itself a mapping (vector
field) of 2 (or 3) to 1 parameters on R.
- Returns:
