function y = polyval( p, x )

%   Disciplined convex/geometric programming information for POLYVAL:
%      POLYVAL can be used with CVX variables in two ways:
%      -- If P is constant and X is a variable, then POLYVAL(P,X)
%         represents a polynomial function of X, p(X). If p(X) is affine
%         then the basic  DCP or DCP rules for sums and products apply.
%         If P is nonlinear then:
%         -- for DCPs, the polynomial must be convex or concave, and X
%            must be affine (such polynomials cannot be monotonic).
%         -- for DGPs, the elements of P must be nonnegative, in which
%            case p(X) is nondecreasing, so X must be log-convex.
%      -- If X is a constant and P is a variable, then POLYVAL(P,X)
%         performs a weighted sum of the elements of P. The weights are,
%         of course, [X^N,X^(N-1),...,X,1]. As in the affine case above,
%         then standard DCP or DGP rules for sums and products apply.
