Member Function Documentation

Derivative()

double apfel::AlphaQCDg::Derivative ( int const & , double const & , double const &  ) const

inlinevirtual

Dummy function used to overload a purely virtual function. It should be never called.

Implements apfel::MatchedEvolution< double >.

EvolveObject()

double apfel::AlphaQCDg::EvolveObject ( int const & nf, double const & lnmu02, double const & lnmu2, double const & as0 ) const

virtual

Function for the computation of the evolution.

Parameters

nf	the number of active flavours
lnmu02	the log of the initial value of the scale
lnmu2	the log of the final value of the scale
as0	the starting object

Returns

the object evolved at the scale mu2

Reimplemented from apfel::MatchedEvolution< double >.

MatchObject()

double apfel::AlphaQCDg::MatchObject ( bool const & Up, int const & nf, double const & Coup ) const

virtual

Function for the computation of the matching.

Parameters

Up	tells whether the matching is upward or not (downward)

Returns

The matched value of the strong coupling at the threshold

Implements apfel::MatchedEvolution< double >.
