Thanks, Luc! What I was trying to illustrate was partial
derivatives, which IIUC you need something like that example to do.
The following almost works:
public void testPartialDerivatives() throws Exception {
PartialFunction function = new PartialFunction(1);
final UnivariateDerivative derivative = new
ForwardModeAlgorithmicDifferentiator().differentiate(function);
DifferentialPair t = DifferentialPair.newVariable(1);
Assert.assertEquals(3, derivative.f(t).getFirstDerivative(), 0);
Assert.assertEquals(2, derivative.f(t).getValue(), 0);
function.setX(2);
Assert.assertEquals(4, derivative.f(t).getFirstDerivative(), 0);
Assert.assertEquals(3, derivative.f(t).getValue(), 0);
}
with
public class PartialFunction implements UnivariateDifferentiable {
private double x;
public PartialFunction(double x) {
this.x = x;
}
public void setX(double x) {
this.x = x;
}
public double getX() {
return x;
}
public double f(double y) {
return x * y + y * y;
}
}
But I end up with java.lang.VerifyError: (class:
ExampleTest$1PartialFunction$NablaForwardModeUnivariateDerivative,
method: f signature:
(Lorg/apache/commons/nabla/core/DifferentialPair;)Lorg/apache/commons/nabla/core/DifferentialPair;)

Yep, I have gotten all of this to work. Even "knows" the chain rule :)
