public class NewcombOperators
extends Object

Implementation of the Modified Newcomb Operators.

From equations 2.7.3 - (12)(13) of the Danielson paper, those operators are defined as:

4(ρ + σ)Y_ρ,σ^n,s =
2(2s - n)Y_ρ-1,σ^n,s+1 + (s - n)Y_ρ-2,σ^n,s+2
- 2(2s + n)Y_ρ,σ-1^n,s-1 - (s+n)Y_ρ,σ-2^n,s-2
+ 2(2ρ + 2σ + 2 + 3n)Y_ρ-1,σ-1^n,s

Initialization is given by : Y_0,0^n,s = 1

Internally, the Modified Newcomb Operators are stored as an array of PolynomialFunction :

Y_ρ,σ^n,s = P_k₀ + P_k₁n + ... + P_kjn^j

where the P_kj are given by

P_kj = ∑_j=0;ρ a_js^j
