function
********
This section defines a computational graph representation of a function
:math:`y = f(x, p)`.
The vector *x* is called the independent variable vector,
*p* is called the independent dynamic parameter vector,
and *y* is called the dependent variable vector.

Node Indices
************
The nodes in an AD graph have the following order:
::

      p_0 , ... ,  p_{np-1} ,
      x_0 , ... ,  x_{nx-1} ,
      c_0 , ... ,  c_{nc-1} ,
      r_0 , ... ,  r_{no-1}

p
=
The sub-vector
::

      p_0, ... , p_{np-1}

is the independent dynamic parameter vector;
see :ref:`cpp_ad_graph@n_dynamic_ind` .
The node index corresponding to *p_0* is ``1`` .

x
=
The sub-vector
::

      x_1, ... , x_nx

is the independent variable vector;
see :ref:`cpp_ad_graph@n_variable_ind` .
The node index corresponding to *x_0* is
the index corresponding to *p_0* plus *np* .

c
=
The sub-vector
::

      c_1, ... , c_nc

is the constant parameter vector;
see :ref:`cpp_ad_graph@constant_vec` .
The node index corresponding to *c_0* is
the index corresponding to *x_0* plus *nx* .

r
=
The sub-vector
*r_i* for *i* =0,..., *no* ``-1`` is the result vector
for the *i*-th operator;
see :ref:`cpp_ad_graph@operator_vec` .
All of the node arguments for an the *i*-th operator are nodes
that come before the first element of *r_i* .
The node index corresponding to the first element of *r_0* is
the index corresponding to *c_0* plus *nc* .
For *i*  > 0 ,
The node index corresponding to the first element of *r_i* is
the index corresponding to the first element of *r_* { *i-1* } plus
the number of results for the *i-1*-th operator.

function_name
*************
is a ``std::string`` containing the name for the function
corresponding to this graph.

discrete_name_vec
*****************
is a vector with elements of type ``std::string`` .
A discrete function has one argument, one result, and it derivative
is always zero; e.g., the Heaviside function.
Calls by this function to discrete functions use the index in this
vector to identify the discrete functions; see
:ref:`cpp_ad_graph@operator_arg@discrete_graph_op` below.
If there are no calls to discrete functions, this vector can be empty.

atomic_name_vec
***************
is a vector with elements of type ``std::string`` .
An atomic function can have any number of arguments and results
and non-zero derivatives.
Calls by this function to other functions use the index in this
vector to identify the other functions; see
:ref:`cpp_ad_graph@operator_arg@atom_graph_op` below.
If there are no calls to other functions, this vector can be empty.
Discrete functions are faster, and simpler to create and use
than atomic functions.

print_text_vec
**************
is a vector with elements of type ``std::string`` .
The :ref:`graph_op_enum@Print` operators uses indices
in this vector for the corresponding
:ref:`PrintFor@before` and :ref:`PrintFor@after` values.
If there are no print operators, this vector can be empty.

n_dynamic_ind
*************
is the number of independent dynamic parameters in the function
(called *np* above); see
:ref:`Independent@dynamic` .

n_variable_ind
**************
is the number of independent variables in the function
(called *nx* above); see
:ref:`Independent@x` .

constant_vec
************
is a vector of with elements of type
``double`` and size *nc* that can be used to define this function.

operator_vec
************
is a vector with elements of type ``graph_op_enum``
and size *no* (the number of operators in the graph).
For *i* = 0, ..., *no* ``-1``
*operator_vec* [ *i* ] contains the instructions
for computing the result vector *r_i* .

operator_arg
************
is a vector with size equal to the sum of the size of each
of its sub-vectors (which are described below).
For *i* = 0, ..., *no* ``-1`` , we use
*first_node* [ *i* ] to denote the index in *operator_arg*
of the first node argument to the *i*-th operator.
We use *n_node_arg* [ *i* ] to denote the number of node arguments
for the *i*-th operator.
For *j* = 0 , ..., *n_node_arg* [ *i* ] ``-1`` ,
the *j*-th node argument for the *i*-th operator has node index

   *operator_arg* [ *first_node* [ *i* ] + *j*  ]

The *operator_arg* sub-vector for the *i*-th operator starts are
*first_node* [ *i* ] and has *n_node_arg* [ *i* ] elements
except for the following operators:
``sum_graph_op`` ,
``discrete_graph_op`` ,
``atom_graph_op`` ,
``print_graph_op`` .

print_graph_op
==============
In the case where *operator_vec* [ *i* ]. ``op_enum`` is
``print_graph_op`` :

   *before* [ *i* ] = *operator_arg* [ *first_node* [ *i* ] ``- 2`` ]

is the index in :ref:`cpp_ad_graph@print_text_vec`
of the text that is printed before the value and

   *after* [ *i* ] = *operator_arg* [ *first_node* [ *i* ] ``- 1`` ]

is the index in :ref:`cpp_ad_graph@print_text_vec`
of the text that is printed after the value.
The *operator_arg* sub-vector for the *i*-th operator
starts at index *first_node* [ *i* ] ``-2``
and has 4 = *n_node_arg* [ *i* ]+2 elements.
The node with index

   *notpos* [ *i* ] = *operator_arg* [ *first_node* [ *i* ] ]

is checked and if it is positive, nothing is printed by this operator.
Otherwise, the value corresponding to the following node is printed:

   *value* [ *i* ] = *operator_arg* [ *first_node* [ *i* ] + 1 ]

discrete_graph_op
=================
In the case where *operator_vec* [ *i* ]. ``op_enum`` is
``discrete_graph_op`` :

   *name_index* [ *i* ] = *operator_arg* [ *first_node* [ *i* ] ``- 1`` ]

is the index in :ref:`cpp_ad_graph@discrete_name_vec`
of the function being called by this operator.
For this operator,
the *operator_arg* sub-vector for the *i*-th operator
starts at index *first_node* [ *i* ] ``-1``
and has 2 = *n_node_arg* [ *i* ]+1 elements.

atom_graph_op
=============
In the case where *operator_vec* [ *i* ]. ``op_enum`` is
``atom_graph_op`` :

   *name_index* [ *i* ] = *operator_arg* [ *first_node* [ *i* ] ``- 3`` ]

is the index in :ref:`cpp_ad_graph@atomic_name_vec`
of the function being called by this operator.

   *n_result* [ *i* ] = *operator_arg* [ *first_node* [ *i* ] ``- 2`` ]

is the number of result nodes for this operator.

   *n_node_arg* [ *i* ] = *operator_arg* [ *first_node* [ *i* ] ``- 1`` ]

is the number of node arguments for this operator.
For this operator,
the *operator_arg* sub-vector for the *i*-th operator
starts at index *first_node* [ *i* ] ``-3``
and has *n_node_arg* [ *i* ]+3 elements.

sum_graph_op
============
In the case where *operator_vec* [ *i* ]. ``op_enum`` is
``sum_graph_op`` :

   *n_node_arg* [ *i* ] = *operator_arg* [ *first_node* [ *i* ] ``- 1`` ]

is the number of node arguments for this operator.
For this operator,
the *operator_arg* sub-vector for the *i*-th operator
starts at index *first_node* [ *i* ] ``-1``
and has *n_node_arg* [ *i* ]+1 elements.

dependent_vec
*************
is a vector with size equal to the number element in *y* .
The *i*-th element of *y* corresponds to the node index
*dependent_vec* [ *i* ] .
