Description

nag_complex_safe_small_number (X02ANC) is a constant defined in the C Header file.

nag_complex_safe_small_number (X02ANC) is defined to be the smallest positive model number

z

such that for any

x

in the range [

z, 1 / z

] the following can be computed without undue loss of accuracy, overflow, underflow or other error:

$- w$
$1 / w$
$- 1 / w$
$\sqrt{w}$
$\log (w)$
$\exp (\log (w))$
$y^{(\log (w) / \log (y))}$ for any $y$
$|w|$

where

w

is any of

x

i x

x + i x

1 / x

i / x

1 / x + i / x

, and

i

is the square root of

- 1
