I'm writing a function that takes 2 lists and creates a polynomial function to later be solved by optimization.
I'm trying to create a string that looks like a function, convert it into a function by using sympy.sympify() and then pass it into optimize.newton().
However it keeps throwing a TypeError "Add" object is not callable while I already think that sympify has correctly returned a function.
I think I'm missing something very basic, maybe there is a function to turn my variable function0 into a function type for scipy to interpret correctly maybe?
def poly_build(coefficient_list, power_list):
'''
coefficient_list & power_list must be iterable objects of the same length, preferably a list
'''
if len (coefficient_list) != len(power_list):
return False
function = ""
for n in range(0, len(coefficient_list)):
if n != len(coefficient_list) - 1:
function += f'{coefficient_list[n]}*x**{power_list[n]} +'
else:
function += f'{coefficient_list[n]}*x**{power_list[n]}'
function0 = (sympy.sympify(function))
function1 = sympy.diff(function0)
function2 = sympy.diff(function1)
return scipy.optimize.newton(function0, 1.5)
