BTW Luc. This derivatives structure is simply a godsent for big
optimization problems.

That works very well.
I missed the default value of 0 earlier

Then everything should be OK with the current code, which reads:
final double[] function = new double[1 + order];
if (a == 0) {
if (operand[operandOffset] == 0) {

In the code I use, the DerivativeStructure evaluates to NaN for a=0 when x

Perhaps I wrote something to mislead you on this detail.

To define things precisely:
y = f(a,x) = |a|^x
Can we agree that:
df(a,x)/dx -> 0 when a->0 and x > 0 :[ NOTE: x > 0]
If this is acceptable, we get this very useful property that df (a,x)/dx is
defined and continuous for all a provided x>0 because we use the modulus of
a in the function definitio

Thanks for the constant structure.
No. The limit value when x->0+ is 1, not O.
I agree with this. I was just going for the derivatives = 0.

On a side note. Given a derivative structure ds. Wouldn't it be nice to
generate a constant derivative structure with something like:
ds.getConstant(dobule value);
Currently I"m doing something like:
new DerivativeStructure(length, order, value); ... seesm more verbose than
necessary when I have
With regards to what is happening in DsCompiler.pow():
IMHO, when a==0 and x>=0 the function is well behaved because log|a| -> Inf
slower than a^x -> 0. I got to this by simulation.
One could probably get to something more conclusive using L'Hopital rule :

I committed it in the development version. You just have to update your checked

Hello,
This shows one way of interpreting the derivative for strictly +ve numbers.
public static void main(final String[] args) {
final double x = 1d;
DerivativeStructure dsA = new DerivativeStructure(1, 1, 0, x);
System.out.println("Derivative of |a|^x wrt x");

Try this and I'm happy to explain if necessary:
public class Derivative {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
DerivativeStructure dsA = new DerivativeStructure(1, 1, 0, 1d);
System.out.println("Derivative of constant^x wrt x");

What should be 0? And Why?

As is, no.

Hi!
IMHO, 0^x should equal 0. But note please, that 0^0 is not define, so
it should be NaN
