Flopscope Context

Multiply polynomials. Cost: n1 * n2 FLOPs.

Note.

This forms part of the old polynomial API. Since version 1.4, the new polynomial API defined in flops.polynomial is preferred. A summary of the differences can be found in the transition guide.

Finds the polynomial resulting from the multiplication of the two input polynomials. Each input must be either a poly1d object or a 1D sequence of polynomial coefficients, from highest to lowest degree.

Parameters

a1, a2:array_like or poly1d object

Input polynomials.

Returns

out:ndarray or poly1d object

The polynomial resulting from the multiplication of the inputs. If either inputs is a poly1d object, then the output is also a poly1d object. Otherwise, it is a 1D array of polynomial coefficients from highest to lowest degree.

Examples

>>> import flopscope.numpy as fnp
>>> flops.polymul([1, 2, 3], [9, 5, 1])
array([ 9, 23, 38, 17,  3])

Using poly1d objects:

>>> p1 = flops.poly1d([1, 2, 3])
>>> p2 = flops.poly1d([9, 5, 1])
>>> print(p1)
   2
1 x + 2 x + 3
>>> print(p2)
   2
9 x + 5 x + 1
>>> print(flops.polymul(p1, p2))
   4      3      2
9 x + 23 x + 38 x + 17 x + 3
