Extension to compute the divided difference of a polynomial edit

Horner's method can be modified to compute the dividing difference, $(p(x)-p(y))/(x-y)$ . Given the polynomial (as before)

p(x)=\sum _{i=0}^{n}a_{i}x^{i}=a_{0}+a_{1}x+a_{2}x^{2}+a_{3}x^{3}+\cdots +a_{n}x^{n},

proceed as follows^[1]

{\begin{aligned}b_{n}&=a_{n},&\quad d_{n}&=b_{n},\\b_{n-1}&=a_{n-1}+b_{n}x,&\quad d_{n-1}&=b_{n-1}+d_{n}y,\\&{}\ \ \vdots &\quad &{}\ \ \vdots \\b_{1}&=a_{1}+b_{2}x,&\quad d_{1}&=b_{1}+d_{2}y,\\b_{0}&=a_{0}+b_{1}x.\end{aligned}}

At completion, we have $b_{0}=p(x)$ and $d_{1}=(p(x)-p(y))/(x-y)$ . This computation of the divided difference is subject to much less round-off error than evaluating $p(x)$ and $p(y)$ separately, particularly when $x\simeq y$ . Substituting $y=x$ in this method gives $d_{1}=p'(x)$ , the derivative of $p(x)$ .
