Say we add a constructor to the polynomial base class that looks something
like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@classmethod
def literal(cls, f):
def basis_function_getter(self, deg):
coefs = [0]*deg + [1]
return lambda _: cls(coefs)
basis = type('',(object,),{'__getitem__': basis_function_getter})()
return f(basis, None)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then the repr for, say, a Chebyshev polynomial could look like this:
>>> Chebyshev.literal(lambda T,x: 1*T[0](x) + 2*T[1](x) + 3*T[2](x))
Does this sound like a good idea to anyone?
