It should be noted that all three libraries tested above offer sub-epsilon

precision over most of their range.

GSL has the greatest difficulty near the positive root of En, while Cody's

<p>

The tests for these functions come in two parts: basic sanity checks use
|
||||
spot values calculated using <a href="http://functions.wolfram.com/webMathematica/FunctionEvaluation.jsp?name=ExpIntegralEi" target="_top">Mathworld's
|
||||
online evaluator</a>, while accuracy checks use high-precision test values
|
||||
calculated at 1000-bit precision with <a href="http://shoup.net/ntl/doc/RR.txt" target="_top">NTL::RR</a>
|
||||
and this implementation. Note that the generic and type-specific versions
|
||||
of these functions use differing implementations internally, so this gives
|
||||
us reasonably independent test data. Using our test data to test other "known
|
||||
good" implementations also provides an additional sanity check.

<p>
|

For x < 0 this function just calls <a class="link" href="expint_n.html" title="Exponential Integral En">zeta</a>(1,
|
||||
-x): which in turn is implemented in terms of rational approximations when
|
||||
the type of x has 113 or fewer bits of precision.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For x > 0 the generic version is implemented using the infinte series:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/expint_i_2.svg"></span>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
However, when the precision of the argument type is known at compile time
|
||||
and is 113 bits or less, then rational approximations <a class="link" href="../sf_implementation.html#math_toolkit.sf_implementation.rational_approximations_used">devised
|
||||
by JM</a> are used.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For 0 < z < 6 a root-preserving approximation of the form:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/expint_i_3.svg"></span>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
is used, where z<sub>0</sub> is the positive root of the function, and R(z/3 - 1) is
|
||||
a minimax rational approximation rescaled so that it is evaluated over [-1,1].
|
||||
Note that while the rational approximation over [0,6] converges rapidly to
|
||||
the minimax solution it is rather ill-conditioned in practice. Cody and Thacher
|
||||
<a href="#ftn.math_toolkit.expint.expint_i.f0" class="footnote" name="math_toolkit.expint.expint_i.f0"><sup class="footnote">[5]</sup></a> experienced the same issue and converted the polynomials into
|
||||
Chebeshev form to ensure stable computation. By experiment we found that
|
||||
the polynomials are just as stable in polynomial as Chebyshev form, <span class="emphasis"><em>provided</em></span>
|
||||
they are computed over the interval [-1,1].
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Over the a series of intervals [a,b] and [b,INF] the rational approximation
|
||||
takes the form:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/expint_i_4.svg"></span>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
where <span class="emphasis"><em>c</em></span> is a constant, and R(t) is a minimax solution
|
||||
optimised for low absolute error compared to <span class="emphasis"><em>c</em></span>. Variable
|
||||
<span class="emphasis"><em>t</em></span> is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">z</span></code> when the range in infinite and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">2</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">/(</span><span class="identifier">b</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">-</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">/(</span><span class="identifier">b</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="number">1</span><span class="special">)</span></code> otherwise: this has the effect of scaling
|
||||
z to the interval [-1,1]. As before rational approximations over arbitrary
|
||||
intervals were found to be ill-conditioned: Cody and Thacher solved this
|
||||
issue by converting the polynomials to their J-Fraction equivalent. However,
|
||||
as long as the interval of evaluation was [-1,1] and the number of terms
|
||||
carefully chosen, it was found that the polynomials <span class="emphasis"><em>could</em></span>
|
||||
be evaluated to suitable precision: error rates are typically 2 to 3 epsilon
|
||||
which is comparible to the error rate that Cody and Thacher achieved using
|
||||
J-Fractions, but marginally more efficient given that fewer divisions are
|
||||
involved.

The tests for these functions come in two parts: basic sanity checks use
|
||||
spot values calculated using <a href="http://functions.wolfram.com/webMathematica/FunctionEvaluation.jsp?name=ExpIntegralE" target="_top">Mathworld's
|
||||
online evaluator</a>, while accuracy checks use high-precision test values
|
||||
calculated at 1000-bit precision with <a href="http://shoup.net/ntl/doc/RR.txt" target="_top">NTL::RR</a>
|
||||
and this implementation. Note that the generic and type-specific versions
|
||||
of these functions use differing implementations internally, so this gives
|
||||
us reasonably independent test data. Using our test data to test other "known
|
||||
good" implementations also provides an additional sanity check.
