Hi, As a first 'jump into the fray' exercise I've attempted to translate Jeffrey Fike's hyper-dual numbers code from c++ to Julia, more or less following the DualNumbers package.
The c++ code can be found at http://adl.stanford.edu/hyperdual/hyperdual.h . The paper itself at http://adl.stanford.edu/hyperdual/Fike_AIAA-2011-886.pdf . The Julia package can be found at: https://github.com/goedman/HyperDualNumbers.jl.git . Of course, I'm pretty new at this so I'm sure there will be errors and poor practices. So any feedback is appreciated. Also, I'm wondering if the type should be called Hyper or a better name would be HyperDual. This work was triggered by the interesting threads around openPP, TaylorSeries.jl, Calculus2, PowerSeries.jl (and at some time I hope MCMC.jl). Rob J. Goedman [email protected]
