Math::Rational::Approx::MaxD - approximate a number with a rational number up to a given denominator
use Math::Rational::Approx::MaxD; # approximate up to denominator of 10 $rat = Math::Rational::Approx::MaxD->new( x => $x, maxD => 10 ); ($n, $d ) = $rat->approx; # approximate up to denominator of 20 ($n, $d ) = $rat->approx( 20 );
This module is an object oriented front end to the Math::Rational::Approx::maxd function
$obj = Math::Rational::Approx::MaxD->new( %attr );
Create a new object. The following attributes are available
x
The number to approximate.
maxD
The limiting maximum denominator to check;
bounds
Optional. A reference to a four element array containing the initial bounds on the region to search. It takes the form
bounds => [ a, b, c, d ]
where the elements are all non-negative integers and the bounds are given by
a/b < x < c/d
By default it searches from float(x) to float(x)+1.
float(x)
float(x)+1
( $n, $d ) = $obj->approx; ( $n, $d ) = $obj->approx( $maxD );
Return the nominator and denominator for a given maximum value of the denominator. If $maxD is not specified it is that specified in the call to the constructor or in any subsequent call to approx. New values of $maxD less than one already specified are ignored.
$maxD
$bounds = $obj->bounds;
Return an arrayref which contains the current bounds on the search, in the same format as the bounds attribute passed to new.
$x = $obj->x;
The original number to be approximated.
The current value of the maximum denominator.
