Method Detail

### value

    public abstract double value(double x,
                                 double y)
                          throws FunctionEvaluationException

  Compute the value for the function.

  Specified by:
    `value` in interface `BivariateRealFunction`
  Parameters:
    `x` - abscissa for which the function value should be computed
    `y` - ordinate for which the function value should be computed
  Returns:
    the value
  Throws:
    `FunctionEvaluationException` - if the function evaluation fails

### fix1stArgument

    public ComposableFunction fix1stArgument(double fixedX)

  Get a composable function by fixing the first argument of the instance.

  Parameters:
    `fixedX` - fixed value of the first argument
  Returns:
    a function such that `f.value(y) == value(fixedX, y)`

### fix2ndArgument

    public ComposableFunction fix2ndArgument(double fixedY)

  Get a composable function by fixing the second argument of the instance.

  Parameters:
    `fixedY` - fixed value of the second argument
  Returns:
    a function such that `f.value(x) == value(x, fixedY)`
