Abstract
Consider calculating the function f″(u)vv for a given vector-valued f and given u, v, by using the affine function w: R \rightarrow Rn with w(t) = u + t*v, and the function ψ: E \subseteq R \rightarrow Rn with ψ(t) = f(w(t)). Obviously ψ″(0)11 = f″(u)vv = the vector wanted. The paper exploits this fact to produce a fast method for computing f″(u)vv. Operation counts are given for both the usual method and the fast method.
