Method Detail

pow

public static Dfp pow(Dfp base,
                      int a)

Raises base to the power a by successive squaring.

Parameters:

base - number to raise

a - power

Returns:

base^a

exp

public static Dfp exp(Dfp a)

Computes e to the given power. a is broken into two parts, such that a = n+m where n is an integer. We use pow() to compute eⁿ and a Taylor series to compute e^m. We return e*ⁿ × e^m

Parameters:

a - power at which e should be raised

Returns:

e^a

log

public static Dfp log(Dfp a)

Returns the natural logarithm of a. a is first split into three parts such that a = (10000^h)(2^j)k. ln(a) is computed by ln(a) = ln(5)*h + ln(2)*(h+j) + ln(k) k is in the range 2/3 < k <4/3 and is passed on to a series expansion.

Parameters:

a - number from which logarithm is requested

Returns:

log(a)

pow

public static Dfp pow(Dfp x,
                      Dfp y)

Computes x to the y power.

Uses the following method:

1. Set u = rint(y), v = y-u
2. Compute a = v * ln(x)
3. Compute b = rint( a/ln(2) )
4. Compute c = a - b*ln(2)
5. x^y = x^u * 2^b * e^c

if |y| > 1e8, then we compute by exp(y*ln(x))

Special Cases

• if y is 0.0 or -0.0 then result is 1.0
• if y is 1.0 then result is x
• if y is NaN then result is NaN
• if x is NaN and y is not zero then result is NaN
• if |x| > 1.0 and y is +Infinity then result is +Infinity
• if |x| < 1.0 and y is -Infinity then result is +Infinity
• if |x| > 1.0 and y is -Infinity then result is +0
• if |x| < 1.0 and y is +Infinity then result is +0
• if |x| = 1.0 and y is +/-Infinity then result is NaN
• if x = +0 and y > 0 then result is +0
• if x = +Inf and y < 0 then result is +0
• if x = +0 and y < 0 then result is +Inf
• if x = +Inf and y > 0 then result is +Inf
• if x = -0 and y > 0, finite, not odd integer then result is +0
• if x = -0 and y < 0, finite, and odd integer then result is -Inf
• if x = -Inf and y > 0, finite, and odd integer then result is -Inf
• if x = -0 and y < 0, not finite odd integer then result is +Inf
• if x = -Inf and y > 0, not finite odd integer then result is +Inf
• if x < 0 and y > 0, finite, and odd integer then result is -(|x|^y)
• if x < 0 and y > 0, finite, and not integer then result is NaN

Parameters:

x - base to be raised

y - power to which base should be raised

Returns:

x^y

sin

atan

public static Dfp atan(Dfp a)

computes the arc tangent of the argument Uses the typical taylor series but may reduce arguments using the following identity tan(x+y) = (tan(x) + tan(y)) / (1 - tan(x)*tan(y)) since tan(PI/8) = sqrt(2)-1, atan(x) = atan( (x - sqrt(2) + 1) / (1+x*sqrt(2) - x) + PI/8.0
