NAME

Math::Cephes::Complex - Perl interface to the cephes complex number routines

SYNOPSIS

use Math::Cephes::Complex qw(cmplx);
my $z1 = cmplx(2,3);          # $z1 = 2 + 3 i
my $z2 = cmplx(3,4);          # $z2 = 3 + 4 i
my $z3 = $z1->radd($z2);      # $z3 = $z1 + $z2

DESCRIPTION

This module is a layer on top of the basic routines in the cephes math library to handle complex numbers. A complex number is created via any of the following syntaxes:

my $f = Math::Cephes::Complex->new(3, 2);   # $f = 3 + 2 i
my $g = new Math::Cephes::Complex(5, 3);    # $g = 5 + 3 i
my $h = cmplx(7, 5);                        # $h = 7 + 5 i

the last one being available by importing cmplx. If no arguments are specified, as in

my $h = cmplx();

then the defaults $z = 0 + 0 i are assumed. The real and imaginary part of a complex number are represented respectively by

$f->{r}; $f->{i};

or, as methods,

$f->r;  $f->i;

and can be set according to

$f->{r} = 4; $f->{i} = 9;

or, again, as methods,

 $f->r(4);   $f->i(9);

The complex number can be printed out as

print $f->as_string;

A summary of the usage is as follows.

# void csin();
# cmplx z, w;

$z = cmplx(2, 3);    # $z = 2 + 3 i

DESCRIPTION:

Addition:
   c.r  =  b.r + a.r
   c.i  =  b.i + a.i

Subtraction:
   c.r  =  b.r - a.r
   c.i  =  b.i - a.i

Multiplication:
   c.r  =  b.r * a.r  -  b.i * a.i
   c.i  =  b.r * a.i  +  b.i * a.r

Division:
   d    =  a.r * a.r  +  a.i * a.i
   c.r  = (b.r * a.r  + b.i * a.i)/d
   c.i  = (b.i * a.r  -  b.r * a.i)/d

cabs: Complex absolute value

SYNOPSIS:

# double a, cabs();
# cmplx z;

$z = cmplx(2, 3);    # $z = 2 + 3 i
$a = cabs( $z );

DESCRIPTION:

If z = x + iy

then

      a = sqrt( x**2 + y**2 ).

Overflow and underflow are avoided by testing the magnitudes
of x and y before squaring.  If either is outside half of
the floating point full scale range, both are rescaled.

csqrt: Complex square root

SYNOPSIS:

# void csqrt();
# cmplx z, w;

$z = cmplx(2, 3);    # $z = 2 + 3 i
$w = $z->csqrt;
print $w->{r}, '  ', $w->{i};  # prints real and imaginary parts of $w
print $w->as_string;           # prints $w as Re($w) + i Im($w)

DESCRIPTION:

If z = x + iy,  r = |z|, then

                      1/2
Im w  =  [ (r - x)/2 ]   ,

Re w  =  y / 2 Im w.

Note that -w is also a square root of z.  The root chosen
is always in the upper half plane.

Because of the potential for cancellation error in r - x,
the result is sharpened by doing a Heron iteration
(see sqrt.c) in complex arithmetic.
