+<div class="block">Univariate functions differentiator using finite differences.
+ <p>
+ This class creates some wrapper objects around regular
+ <a href="../../../../../../org/apache/commons/math3/analysis/UnivariateFunction.html" title="interface in org.apache.commons.math3.analysis"><code>univariate functions</code></a> (or <a href="../../../../../../org/apache/commons/math3/analysis/UnivariateVectorFunction.html" title="interface in org.apache.commons.math3.analysis"><code>univariate vector functions</code></a> or <a href="../../../../../../org/apache/commons/math3/analysis/UnivariateMatrixFunction.html" title="interface in org.apache.commons.math3.analysis"><code>univariate matrix functions</code></a>). These
+ wrapper objects compute derivatives in addition to function
+ values.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The wrapper objects work by calling the underlying function on
+ a sampling grid around the current point and performing polynomial
+ interpolation. A finite differences scheme with n points is
+ theoretically able to compute derivatives up to order n-1, but
+ it is generally better to have a slight margin. The step size must
+ also be small enough in order for the polynomial approximation to
+ be good in the current point neighborhood, but it should not be too
+ small because numerical instability appears quickly (there are several
+ differences of close points). Choosing the number of points and
+ the step size is highly problem dependent.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ As an example of good and bad settings, lets consider the quintic
+ polynomial function <code>f(x) = (x-1)*(x-0.5)*x*(x+0.5)*(x+1)</code>.
+ Since it is a polynomial, finite differences with at least 6 points
+ should theoretically recover the exact same polynomial and hence
+ compute accurate derivatives for any order. However, due to numerical
+ errors, we get the following results for a 7 points finite differences
+ for abscissae in the [-10, 10] range:
+ <ul>
+ <li>step size = 0.25, second order derivative error about 9.97e-10</li>
+ <li>step size = 0.25, fourth order derivative error about 5.43e-8</li>
+ <li>step size = 1.0e-6, second order derivative error about 148</li>
+ <li>step size = 1.0e-6, fourth order derivative error about 6.35e+14</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ This example shows that the small step size is really bad, even simply
+ for second order derivative!</p></div>
