Although there are deceptively simple formulae available for all of these functions,
|
||
a naive implementation that used these formulae would fail catastrophically
|
||
for some input values. The Boost versions of these functions have been implemented
|
||
using the methodology described in "Implementing the Complex Arcsine and
|
||
Arccosine Functions Using Exception Handling" by T. E. Hull Thomas F.
|
||
Fairgrieve and Ping Tak Peter Tang, ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software,
|
||
Vol. 23, No. 3, September 1997. This means that the functions are well defined
|
||
over the entire complex number range, and produce accurate values even at the
|
||
extremes of that range, where as a naive formula would cause overflow or underflow
|
||
to occur during the calculation, even though the result is actually a representable
|
||
value. The maximum theoretical relative error for all of these functions is
|
||
less than 9.5ε for every machine-representable point in the complex plane. Please
|
||
refer to comments in the header files themselves and to the above mentioned
|
||
paper for more information on the implementation methodology.
