Detailed Description

template<typename _DerType>
class Eigen::AutoDiffScalar< _DerType >

A scalar type replacement with automatic differentation capability.

Parameters:
_DerType the vector type used to store/represent the derivatives. The base scalar type as well as the number of derivatives to compute are determined from this type. Typical choices include, e.g., Vector4f for 4 derivatives, or VectorXf if the number of derivatives is not known at compile time, and/or, the number of derivatives is large. Note that _DerType can also be a reference (e.g., VectorXf&) to wrap a existing vector into an AutoDiffScalar. Finally, _DerType can also be any Eigen compatible expression.

This class represents a scalar value while tracking its respective derivatives using Eigen's expression template mechanism.

It supports the following list of global math function:

AutoDiffScalar can be used as the scalar type of an Eigen::Matrix object. However, in that case, the expression template mechanism only occurs at the top Matrix level, while derivatives are computed right away.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

AutoDiffScalar (  )  [inline]

Default constructor without any initialization.

AutoDiffScalar ( const Scalar &  value,
int  nbDer,
int  derNumber 
) [inline]

Constructs an active scalar from its value, and initializes the nbDer derivatives such that it corresponds to the derNumber -th variable

AutoDiffScalar ( const Real &  value  )  [inline]

Conversion from a scalar constant to an active scalar. The derivatives are set to zero.

AutoDiffScalar ( const Scalar &  value,
const DerType &  der 
) [inline]

Constructs an active scalar from its value and derivatives der
