Add new logn(x, n [,eps]) builtin to compute logarithms to base n. Verify that eps arguments (error tolerance arguments that override the default epsilon value) to builtin functions have proper values. Previously the eps argument had little to no value checks for many builtin functions. Document in help files for builtin functions that take eps arguments, the LIMIT range for such eps values.

NAME
|
|
gd - Gudermannian function
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
gd(z [,eps])
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
z number (real or complex)
|
|
eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon()
|
|
|
|
return number or "Log of zero or infinity" error value
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Calculate the Gudermannian of z to a multiple of eps with errors in
|
|
real and imaginary parts less in absolute value than .75 * eps,
|
|
or return an error value if z is close to one of the branch points
|
|
at odd multiples of (pi/2) * i.
|
|
|
|
gd(z) is usually defined initially for real z by one of the formulae
|
|
|
|
gd(z) = 2 * atan(exp(z)) - pi/2
|
|
|
|
= 2 * atan(tanh(z/2))
|
|
|
|
= atan(sinh(z)),
|
|
|
|
or as the integral from 0 to z of (1/cosh(t))dt. For complex z, the
|
|
principal branch, approximated by gd(z, eps), has the cut:
|
|
re(z) = 0, abs(im(z)) >= pi/2; on the cut calc takes gd(z) to be
|
|
the limit as z is approached from the right or left according as
|
|
im(z) > or < 0.
|
|
|
|
If z = x + y*i and abs(y) < pi/2, gd(z) is given by
|
|
|
|
gd(z) = atan(sinh(x)/cos(y)) + i * atanh(sin(y)/cosh(x)).
