VectorBase CppAD::ADFun< Base >::Forward	(	size_t	q,
		const VectorBase &	xq,
		std::ostream &	s = std::cout
	)

forward mode user API, multiple directions one order.

Multiple orders, one direction, forward mode Taylor coefficieints.

Template Parameters

Base	The type used during the forward mode computations; i.e., the corresponding recording of operations used the type AD<Base>.
VectorBase	is a Simple Vector class with eleements of type Base.

Parameters

q	is the hightest order for this forward mode computation; i.e., after this calculation there will be q+1 Taylor coefficients per variable.
xq	contains Taylor coefficients for the independent variables. The size of xq must either be n or (q+1)*n, We define p = q + 1 - xq.size()/n. For j = 0 , ... , n-1, k = p, ... , q, are xq[ (q+1-p)*j + k - p ] is the k-th order coefficient for the j-th independent variable.
s	Is the stream where output corresponding to PriOp operations will written.

Returns

contains Taylor coefficients for the dependent variables. The size of the return value y is m*(q+1-p). For i = 0, ... , m-1, k = p, ..., q, y[(q+1-p)*i + (k-p)] is the k-th order coefficient for the i-th dependent variable.

taylor_

The Taylor coefficients up to order p-1 are inputs and the coefficents from order p through q are outputs. Let N = num_var_tape_, and C = cap_order_taylor_. Note that for i = 1 , ..., N-1, k = 0 , ..., q, taylor_[ C*i + k ] is the k-th order cofficent, for the i-th varaible on the tape. (The first independent variable has index one on the tape and there is no variable with index zero.)
