We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
kernelTan
Compute the tangent of a double-precision floating-point number on
[-π/4, π/4]
.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-kernel-tan
Usage
var kernelTan = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-kernel-tan' );
kernelTan( x, y, k )
Computes the tangent of a double-precision floating-point number on [-π/4, π/4]
.
var out = kernelTan( 3.141592653589793/4.0, 0.0, 1 );
// returns ~1.0
out = kernelTan( 3.141592653589793/6.0, 0.0, 1 );
// returns ~0.577
out = kernelTan( 0.664, 5.288e-17, 1 );
// returns ~0.783
If k = 1
, the function returns tan(x+y)
. To return the negative inverse -1/tan(x+y)
, set k = -1
.
var out = kernelTan( 3.141592653589793/4.0, 0.0, -1 );
// returns ~-1.0
If either x
or y
is NaN
, the function returns NaN
.
var out = kernelTan( NaN, 0.0, 1 );
// returns NaN
out = kernelTan( 3.0, NaN, 1 );
// returns NaN
out = kernelTan( NaN, NaN, 1 );
// returns NaN
Notes
For increased accuracy, the number for which the tangent should be evaluated can be supplied as a double-double number (i.e., a non-evaluated sum of two double-precision floating-point numbers
x
andy
).As components of a double-double number, the two double-precision floating-point numbers
x
andy
must satisfy
where
ulp
stands for units in the last place.
Examples
var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array-base-linspace' );
var binomial = require( '@stdlib/random-base-binomial' ).factory;
var PI = require( '@stdlib/constants-float64-pi' );
var kernelTan = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-kernel-tan' );
var x = linspace( -PI/4.0, PI/4.0, 100 );
var rbinom = binomial( 1, 0.5 );
var descr;
var i;
var k;
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
k = rbinom();
descr = ( k === 1 ) ? 'tan(%d) = %d' : '-1/tan(%d) = %d';
console.log( descr, x[ i ], kernelTan( x[ i ], 0.0, k ) );
}
C APIs
Usage
#include "stdlib/math/base/special/kernel_tan.h"
stdlib_base_kernel_tan( x, y, k)
Computes the tangent of a double-precision floating-point number on [-π/4, π/4]
.
double out = stdlib_base_kernel_tan( 3.141592653589793/4.0, 0.0, 1 );
// returns ~1.0
out = stdlib_base_kernel_tan( 3.141592653589793/6.0, 0.0, 1 );
// returns ~0.577
The function accepts the following arguments:
- x:
[in] double
input value (in radians, assumed to be bounded by~pi/4
in magnitude). - y:
[in] double
tail ofx
. - k:
[in] int32_t
indicates whethertan(x+y)
(ifk = 1
) or-1/tan(x+y)
(ifk = -1
) is returned.
double stdlib_base_kernel_tan( const double x, const double y, const int32_t k );
Notes
- For increased accuracy, the number for which the tangent should be evaluated can be supplied as a double-double number (i.e., a non-evaluated sum of two double-precision floating-point numbers
x
andy
).
