Horner’s rule


Horner’s rule is a technique to reduce the work required for the computation of a polynomialMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath at a particular value. Its simplest form makes use of the repeated factorizations

y=a0+a1x+a2x2++anxn
=a0+x(a1+x(a2+x(a3++xan)))

of the terms of the nth degree polynomial in x in order to reduce the computation of the polynomial y(a) (at some value x=a) to n multiplicationsPlanetmathPlanetmath and n additions.

The rule can be generalized to a finite series

y=a0p0+a1p1++anpn

of orthogonal polynomials pk=pk(x). Using the recurrence relation

pk=(Ak+Bkx)pk-1+Ckpk-2

for orthogonal polynomials, one obtains

y(a)=(a0+C2b2)p0(a)+b1p1(a)

with

bn+1=bn+2=0,
bk-1=(Ak+Bka)bk+Ck+1+bk+1+ak-1

for the evaluation of y at some particular a. This is a simpler calculation than the straightforward approach, since a0 and C2 are known, p0(a) and p1(a) are easy to compute (possibly themselves by Horner’s rule), and b1 and b2 are given by a backwards-recurrence which is linear in n.
