[mathpart inverse_complex..Complex Number Functions]
The following complex number algorithms are the inverses of trigonometric functions currently
present in the C++ standard. Equivalents to these functions are part of the C99 standard, and
are part of the [tr1].
[section:complex_implementation Implementation and Accuracy]
Although there are deceptively simple formulae available for all of these functions, a naive
implementation that used these formulae would fail catastrophically for some input
values. The Boost versions of these functions have been implemented using the methodology
described in "Implementing the Complex Arcsine and Arccosine Functions Using Exception Handling"
by T. E. Hull Thomas F. Fairgrieve and Ping Tak Peter Tang, ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software,
Vol. 23, No. 3, September 1997. This means that the functions are well defined over the entire
complex number range, and produce accurate values even at the extremes of that range, where as a naive
formula would cause overflow or underflow to occur during the calculation, even though the result is
actually a representable value. The maximum theoretical relative error for all of these functions
is less than 9.5[epsilon] for every machine-representable point in the complex plane. Please refer to
comments in the header files themselves and to the above mentioned paper for more information
on the implementation methodology.
