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.

 $z = cmplx(2, 3);    # $z = 2 + 3 i
 $w = $z->csin;
 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:

 series near these points.

 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.
