multivar_horner is a python package implementing a multivariate
Horner scheme ("Horner's method", "Horner's rule")
for efficiently evaluating multivariate polynomials.
Quick Guide:
pip install multivar_hornerFor efficiency this package is compiling the instructions required for polynomial evaluation to C by default.
If you don't have a C compiler (gcc or cc) installed you also need to install numba for using an alternative method:
pip install multivar_horner[numba]Simple example:
import numpy as np
from multivar_horner import HornerMultivarPolynomial
# input parameters defining the polynomial
# p(x) = 5.0 + 1.0 x_1^3 x_2^1 + 2.0 x_1^2 x_3^1 + 3.0 x_1^1 x_2^1 x_3^1
coefficients = np.array([[5.0], [1.0], [2.0], [3.0]], dtype=np.float64)
exponents = np.array([[0, 0, 0], [3, 1, 0], [2, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]], dtype=np.uint32)
# [#ops=7] p(x) = x_1 (x_1 (x_1 (1.0 x_2) + 2.0 x_3) + 3.0 x_2 x_3) + 5.0
horner_polynomial = HornerMultivarPolynomial(coefficients, exponents)
x = np.array([-2.0, 3.0, 1.0], dtype=np.float64)
p_x = horner_polynomial(x)Also see:
