horner
evaluates some polynomials or rationals for given values
Syntax
horner(P, x)
Arguments
- P
array of polynomials or of rationals.
- x
array of numbers, polynomials, or rationals.
Description
evaluates the polynomial or rational
matrix P = P(s) when the variable s of the
polynomial is replaced by x:
horner(P,x)=P(x)
Example (Bilinear transform): Assume P = P(s) is
a rational matrix then the rational matrix
P((1+s)/(1-s)) is obtained by horner(P,(1+s)/(1-s)).
To evaluate a rational matrix at given frequencies use
preferably the freq primitive.
Examples
Evaluation of a polynomial:
P = poly(1:3, 'x', 'coeff') s = %s; horner(P, [1 2 ; 3 4]) // for real values horner(P, [1 2 ; 3 4]+%i) // for complex values horner(P, [1, s ; s^2, s^3]) // for polynomial values horner(P, [1/s, 1/s^2]) // for rational values
--> P = poly(1:3, 'x', 'coeff')
P =
1 +2x +3x²
--> s = %s;
--> horner(P, [1 2 ; 3 4]) // for real values
ans =
6. 17.
34. 57.
--> horner(P, [1 2 ; 3 4]+%i) // for complex values
ans =
3. + 8.i 14. + 14.i
31. + 20.i 54. + 26.i
--> horner(P, [1, s ; s^2, s^3]) // for polynomial values
ans =

--> horner(P, [1/s, 1/s^2]) // for rational values
ans =
