mpfi
Description
The mpfi egg contains bindings for the mpfi library for interval arithmetic (a short introduction to interval arithmetic can be found at the mpfi site).
Author
Jeronimo Pellegrini
Requirements
- the mpfi library
- the mpfr library (needed by mpfi)
Example
(use mpfi) (let ((a (make-ia-interval-f64 1 10)) (b (make-ia-interval-f64 -0.5 1))) (when (ia-has-zero? b) (display "b contains zero!") (newline)) (display "a = ") (display (ia->string a)) (newline) (display "b = ") (display (ia->string b)) (newline) (display "a x b = ") (display (ia->string (ia* a b))) (newline)) ==> b contains zero! a = [1.0__10.0] b = [-0.5__1.0] a x b = [-5.0__10.0]
Documentation
[procedure] (make-ia-interval-empty)[procedure] (make-ia-interval-f64 LO HI)
The following procedures are available:
Arithmetic:
(ia+ A B) (ia+f64 A F) (ia- A B) (ia-f64 A F) (f64-ia F A) (ia* A B) (ia*f64 A F) (ia/ A B) (ia/f64 A F) (f64/ia F A)
Unary functions:
(ia-neg A) (ia-sqr A) (ia-inv A) (ia-sqrt A) (ia-abs A) (ia-log A) (ia-exp A) (ia-exp2 A) (ia-log1p A) (ia-expm1 A) (ia-log2 A) (ia-log10 A)
Trigonometric functions:
(ia-cos A) (ia-sin A) (ia-tan A) (ia-acos A) (ia-asin A) (ia-atan A) (ia-cosh A) (ia-sinh A) (ia-tanh A) (ia-acosh A) (ia-asinh A) (ia-atanh A)
Constants:
(ia-const-log2) (ia-const-pi) (ia-const-e)
Comparisons:
(ia< A B) (ia> A B) (ia>= A B) (ia<= A B) (ia-overlap? A B) (ia-nan? A) (ia-inf? A) (ia-zero? A) (ia-has-zero? A) (ia-positive? A) (ia-negative? A) (ia-strictly-positive? A) (ia-strictly-negative? A) (ia-nonpositive? A) (ia-nonnegative? A) (ia-bounded? A) (ia-empty? A) (ia-inside? A B) (ia-f64-inside? A B)
Procedures returning flonum:
(ia-diameter A) (ia-diameter-absolute A) (ia-diameter-relative A) (ia-magnitude A) (ia-mignitude A) (ia-random A) (ia-middle A)
Other procedures:
[procedure] (ia-lo A)[procedure] (ia-hi A)
Return the low and high endpoints of the interval.
[procedure] (ia->string)Converts interval into a string.
Each nondestructive procedure described above (like ia/ for example) has a destructive counterpart in which there is one extra argument where the result goes:
(ia/ a b) (ia/! result a b)
The destructive operation does not allocate memory; the nondestructive one does.
Bugs and limitations
- the mpfi egg is still not tested enough
- Ther is only support for floating point intervals. Support for integers is planned.
Changelog
- 0.1 Initial Release
