NAME agd - inverse gudermannian function SYNOPSIS agd(z [,eps]) TYPES z number (real or complex) eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon() return number or infinite error value DESCRIPTION Calculate the inverse gudermannian of z to a nultiple of eps with errors in real and imaginary parts less in absolute value than .75 * eps, or an error value if z is very close to one of the one of the branch points of agd(z).. agd(z) is usually defined initially for real z with abs(z) < pi/2 by one of the formulae agd(z) = ln(sec(z) + tan(z)) = 2 * atanh(tan(z/2)) = asinh(tan(z)), or as the integral from 0 to z of (1/cos(t))dt. For complex z, the principal branch, approximated by gd(z, eps), has cuts along the real axis outside -pi/2 < z < pi/2. If z = x + i * y and abs(x) < pi/2, agd(z) is given by agd(z) = atanh(sin(x)/cosh(y)) + i * atan(sinh(y)/cos(x)> EXAMPLE > print agd(1, 1e-5), agd(1, 1e-10), agd(1, 1e-15) 1.22619 1.2261911709 1.226191170883517 > print agd(2, 1e-5), agd(2, 1e-10) 1.52345-3.14159i 1.5234524436-3.1415926536i > print agd(5, 1e-5), agd(5, 1e-10), agd(5, 1e-15) -1.93237 -1.9323667197 -1.932366719745925 > print agd(1+2i, 1e-5), agd(1+2i, 1e-10) .22751+1.42291i .2275106584+1.4229114625i LIMITS none LIBRARY COMPLEX *cagd(COMPLEX *x, NUMBER *eps) SEE ALSO gd, exp, ln, sin, sinh, etc.
