AD Binary Arithmetic Operators

Syntax
z = x Op y

Purpose
Performs arithmetic operations where either x or y has type AD<Base> or VecAD<Base>::reference .

Op
The operator Op is one of the following
Op Meaning
+ z is x plus y
- z is x minus y
* z is x times y
/ z is x divided by y

Base
The type Base is determined by the operand that has type AD<Base> or VecAD<Base>::reference .

x
The operand x has the following prototype
     const 
Type &x
where Type is VecAD<Base>::reference , AD<Base> , Base , or double.

y
The operand y has the following prototype
     const 
Type &y
where Type is VecAD<Base>::reference , AD<Base> , Base , or double.

z
The result z has the following prototype
     
Type z
where Type is AD<Base> .

Operation Sequence
This is an atomic AD of Base operation and hence it is part of the current AD of Base operation sequence .

Example
The following files contain examples and tests of these functions. Each test returns true if it succeeds and false otherwise.
add.cpp AD Binary Addition: Example and Test
sub.cpp AD Binary Subtraction: Example and Test
mul.cpp AD Binary Multiplication: Example and Test
div.cpp AD Binary Division: Example and Test

Derivative
If @(@ f @)@ and @(@ g @)@ are Base functions

Addition
@[@ \D{[ f(x) + g(x) ]}{x} = \D{f(x)}{x} + \D{g(x)}{x} @]@
Subtraction
@[@ \D{[ f(x) - g(x) ]}{x} = \D{f(x)}{x} - \D{g(x)}{x} @]@
Multiplication
@[@ \D{[ f(x) * g(x) ]}{x} = g(x) * \D{f(x)}{x} + f(x) * \D{g(x)}{x} @]@
Division
@[@ \D{[ f(x) / g(x) ]}{x} = [1/g(x)] * \D{f(x)}{x} - [f(x)/g(x)^2] * \D{g(x)}{x} @]@
