All of the tools in this header require a description of the recurrence relation: this takes the form of a functor that returns a tuple containing the 3 coefficients, specifically, given a recurrence relation:
And a functor F
then the
expression:
F(n);
Returns a tuple containing { an, bn, cn }.
For example, the recurrence relation for the Bessel J and Y functions when written in this form is:
Therefore, given local variables x and v
of type double
the recurrence
relation for Bessel J and Y can be encoded in a lambda expression like this:
auto recurrence_functor_jy = [&](int n) { return std::make_tuple(1.0, -2 * (v + n) / x, 1.0); };
Similarly, the Bessel I and K recurrence relation differs just by the sign of the final term:
And this could be encoded as:
auto recurrence_functor_ik = [&](int n) { return std::make_tuple(1.0, -2 * (v + n) / x, -1.0); };
The tools are then as follows:
template <class Recurrence, class T> T function_ratio_from_backwards_recurrence(const Recurrence& r, const T& factor, boost::uintmax_t& max_iter);
Given a functor r
which encodes
the recurrence relation for function F
at some location n, then returns the ratio:
This calculation is stable only if recurrence is stable in the backwards direction. Further the ratio calculated is for the dominant solution (in the backwards direction) of the recurrence relation, if there are multiple solutions, then there is no guarantee that this will find the one you want or expect.
Argument factor is the tolerance required for convergence of the continued fraction associated with the recurrence relation, and should be no smaller than machine epsilon. Argument max_iter sets the maximum number of permitted iterations in the associated continued fraction.
template <class Recurrence, class T> T function_ratio_from_forwards_recurrence(const Recurrence& r, const T& factor, boost::uintmax_t& max_iter);
Given a functor r
which encodes
the recurrence relation for function F at some location n,
then returns the ratio:
This calculation is stable only if recurrence is stable in the forwards direction. Further the ratio calculated is for the dominant solution (in the forwards direction) of the recurrence relation, if there are multiple solutions, then there is no guarantee that this will find the one you want or expect.
Argument factor is the tolerance required for convergence of the continued fraction associated with the recurrence relation, and should be no smaller than machine epsilon. Argument max_iter sets the maximum number of permitted iterations in the associated continued fraction.
template <class NextCoefs, class T> T apply_recurrence_relation_forward(const NextCoefs& get_coefs, unsigned number_of_steps, T first, T second, int* log_scaling = 0, T* previous = 0);
Applies a recurrence relation in a stable forward direction, starting with the values Fn-1 and Fn.
Functor that returns the corefficients of the recurrence relation. The coefficients should be centered on position second.
The number of steps to apply the recurrence relation onwards from second.
The value of Fn-1
The value of Fn
When provided, the recurrence relations may be rescaled internally
to avoid over/underflow issues. The result should be multiplied by
exp(*log_scaling)
to get the true value of the result.
When provided, is set to the value of Fn + number_of_steps - 1
Returns Fn + number_of_steps.
template <class NextCoefs, class T> T apply_recurrence_relation_backward(const NextCoefs& get_coefs, unsigned number_of_steps, T first, T second, int* log_scaling = 0, T* previous = 0);
Applies a recurrence relation in a stable backward direction, starting with the values Fn+1 and Fn.
Functor that returns the corefficients of the recurrence relation. The coefficients should be centered on position second.
The number of steps to apply the recurrence relation backwards from second.
The value of Fn+1
The value of Fn
When provided, the recurrence relations may be rescaled internally
to avoid over/underflow issues. The result should be multiplied by
exp(*log_scaling)
to get the true value of the result.
When provided, is set to the value of Fn - number_of_steps + 1
Returns Fn - number_of_steps.
template <class Recurrence> struct forward_recurrence_iterator { typedef typename boost::remove_reference<decltype(std::get<0>(std::declval<Recurrence&>()(0)))>::type value_type; forward_recurrence_iterator(const Recurrence& r, value_type f_n_minus_1, value_type f_n); forward_recurrence_iterator(const Recurrence& r, value_type f_n); /* Operators omitted for clarity */ };
Type forward_recurrence_iterator
defines a forward-iterator for a recurrence relation stable in the forward
direction. The constructors take the recurrence relation, plus either one
or two values: if only one value is provided, then the second is computed
by using the recurrence relation to calculate the function ratio.
template <class Recurrence> struct backward_recurrence_iterator { typedef typename boost::remove_reference<decltype(std::get<0>(std::declval<Recurrence&>()(0)))>::type value_type; backward_recurrence_iterator(const Recurrence& r, value_type f_n_plus_1, value_type f_n); backward_recurrence_iterator(const Recurrence& r, value_type f_n); /* Operators omitted for clarity */ };
Type backward_recurrence_iterator
defines a forward-iterator for a recurrence relation stable in the backward
direction. The constructors take the recurrence relation, plus either one
or two values: if only one value is provided, then the second is computed
by using the recurrence relation to calculate the function ratio.
Note that incrementing this iterator moves the value returned successively to Fn-1, Fn-2 etc.
