FunctionMath.Combine Method

Constructs a multivariate function returning a vector from an array of multivariate function delegates.

Definition

Namespace: Numerics.NET
Assembly: Numerics.NET (in Numerics.NET.dll) Version: 9.0.3
C#
public static Func<Vector<double>, Vector<double>> Combine(
	this Func<Vector<double>, double>[] functions
)

Parameters

functions  Func<Vector<Double>, Double>[]
An array of multivariate function delegates.

Return Value

Func<Vector<Double>, Vector<Double>>
A multivariate function returning a vector whose return values correspond to the return values of the elements of functions

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type Func<Vector<Double>, Double>[]. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Remarks

Use this method to combine several multivariate functions that return a real number into one multivariate function returning a vector that returns a vector containing each of the function values.

Note that there is a slight performance loss over defining the multivariate function returning a vector directly because of the overhead of invoking multiple delegates instead of one.
