/**
* Represents a polynomial spline function.
* <p>
* A <strong>polynomial spline function</strong> consists of a set of
* <i>interpolating polynomials</i> and an ascending array of domain
* <i>knot points</i>, determining the intervals over which the spline function
* is defined by the constituent polynomials. The polynomials are assumed to
* have been computed to match the values of another function at the knot
* points. The value consistency constraints are not currently enforced by
* <code>PolynomialSplineFunction</code> itself, but are assumed to hold among
* the polynomials and knot points passed to the constructor.
* <p>
* N.B.: The polynomials in the <code>polynomials</code> property must be
* centered on the knot points to compute the spline function values. See below.
* <p>
* The domain of the polynomial spline function is
* <code>[smallest knot, largest knot]</code>. Attempts to evaluate the
* function at values outside of this range generate IllegalArgumentExceptions.
* <p>
* The value of the polynomial spline function for an argument <code>x</code>
* is computed as follows:
* <ol>
* <li>The knot array is searched to find the segment to which <code>x</code>
* belongs. If <code>x</code> is less than the smallest knot point or greater
* than the largest one, an <code>IllegalArgumentException</code>
* is thrown.</li>
* <li> Let <code>j</code> be the index of the largest knot point that is less
* than or equal to <code>x</code>. The value returned is <br>
* <code>polynomials[j](x - knot[j])</code></li></ol>
