$section Check an ADFun Sequence of Operations$$

$head Syntax$$
$icode%ok% = FunCheck(%f%, %g%, %x%, %r%, %a%)%$$
$pre

$bold See Also$$
$cref CompareChange$$


$head Purpose$$
We use $latex F : B^n \rightarrow B^m$$ to denote the
$cref/AD function/glossary/AD Function/$$ corresponding to $icode f$$.
We use $latex G : B^n \rightarrow B^m$$ to denote the
function corresponding to the C++ function object $icode g$$.
This routine check if
$latex \[
	F(x) = G(x)
\]$$
If $latex F(x) \neq G(x)$$, the
$cref/operation sequence/glossary/Operation/Sequence/$$
corresponding to $icode f$$ does not represents the algorithm used
by $icode g$$ to calculate values for $latex G$$
(see $cref/Discussion/FunCheck/Discussion/$$ below).

$head f$$
The $code FunCheck$$ argument $icode f$$ has prototype
$codei%
	ADFun<%Base%> %f%
%$$
Note that the $cref ADFun$$ object $icode f$$ is not $code const$$
(see $cref/Forward/FunCheck/FunCheck Uses Forward/$$ below).

$head g$$
The $code FunCheck$$ argument $icode g$$ has prototype
$codei%
	%Fun% &%g%
%$$
($icode Fun$$ is defined the properties of $icode g$$).
The C++ function object $icode g$$ supports the syntax
$codei%
	%y% = %g%(%x%)
%$$
which computes $latex y = G(x)$$.

$subhead x$$
The $icode g$$ argument $icode x$$ has prototype
$codei%
	const %Vector% &%x%
%$$
(see $cref/Vector/FunCheck/Vector/$$ below)
and its size 
must be equal to $icode n$$, the dimension of the
$cref/domain/seq_property/Domain/$$ space for $icode f$$.

$head y$$
The $icode g$$ result $icode y$$ has prototype
$codei%
	%Vector% %y%
%$$
and its value is $latex G(x)$$.
The size of $icode y$$ 
is equal to $icode m$$, the dimension of the
$cref/range/seq_property/Range/$$ space for $icode f$$.

$head x$$
The $code FunCheck$$ argument $icode x$$ has prototype
$codei%
	const %Vector% &%x%
%$$
and its size 
must be equal to $icode n$$, the dimension of the
$cref/domain/seq_property/Domain/$$ space for $icode f$$.
This specifies that point at which to compare the values
calculated by $icode f$$ and $icode G$$. 

$head r$$
The $code FunCheck$$ argument $icode r$$ has prototype
$codei%
	const %Base% &%r%
%$$
It specifies the relative error the element by element
comparison of the value of $latex F(x)$$ and $latex G(x)$$.

$head a$$
The $code FunCheck$$ argument $icode a$$ has prototype
$codei%
	const %Base% &%a%
%$$
It specifies the absolute error the element by element
comparison of the value of $latex F(x)$$ and $latex G(x)$$.

$head ok$$
The $code FunCheck$$ result $icode ok$$ has prototype
$codei%
	bool %ok%
%$$
It is true, if for $latex i = 0 , \ldots , m-1$$ 
either the relative error bound is satisfied
$latex \[
| F_i (x) - G_i (x) | 
\leq 
r ( | F_i (x) | + | G_i (x) | ) 
\] $$
or the absolute error bound is satisfied
$latex \[
	| F_i (x) - G_i (x) | \leq a
\] $$
It is false if for some $latex (i, j)$$ neither
of these bounds is satisfied.

$head Vector$$
The type $icode Vector$$ must be a $cref SimpleVector$$ class with
$cref/elements of type/SimpleVector/Elements of Specified Type/$$
$icode Base$$.
The routine $cref CheckSimpleVector$$ will generate an error message
if this is not the case.

$head FunCheck Uses Forward$$
After each call to $cref Forward$$,
the object $icode f$$ contains the corresponding 
$cref/Taylor coefficients/glossary/Taylor Coefficient/$$.
After $code FunCheck$$,
the previous calls to $cref Forward$$ are undefined.

$head Discussion$$
Suppose that the algorithm corresponding to $icode g$$ contains
$codei%
	if( %x% >= 0 )
		%y% = exp(%x%)
	else	%y% = exp(-%x%)
%$$ 
where $icode x$$ and $icode y$$ are $codei%AD<double>%$$ objects.
It follows that the 
AD of $code double$$ $cref/operation sequence/glossary/Operation/Sequence/$$
depends on the value of $icode x$$.
If the sequence of operations stored in $icode f$$ corresponds to 
$icode g$$ with $latex x \geq 0$$, 
the function values computed using $icode f$$ when $latex x < 0$$
will not agree with the function values computed by $latex g$$.
This is because the operation sequence corresponding to $icode g$$ changed
(and hence the object $icode f$$ does not represent the function
$latex G$$ for this value of $icode x$$).
In this case, you probably want to re-tape the calculations
performed by $icode g$$ with the
$cref/independent variables/glossary/Tape/Independent Variable/$$ 
equal to the values in $icode x$$ 
(so AD operation sequence properly represents the algorithm
for this value of independent variables).


$head Example$$
$children%
	example/fun_check.cpp
%$$
The file
$cref fun_check.cpp$$
contains an example and test of this function.   
It returns true if it succeeds and false otherwise.
