Method Details

getA

public abstract <T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>
T getA(int n,
 T x)

Access the n-th a coefficient of the continued fraction. Since a can be a function of the evaluation point, x, that is passed in as well.

Type Parameters:

T - type of the field elements.

Parameters:

n - the coefficient index to retrieve.

x - the evaluation point.

Returns:

the n-th a coefficient.

getB

public abstract <T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>
T getB(int n,
 T x)

Access the n-th b coefficient of the continued fraction. Since b can be a function of the evaluation point, x, that is passed in as well.

Type Parameters:

T - type of the field elements.

Parameters:

n - the coefficient index to retrieve.

x - the evaluation point.

Returns:

the n-th b coefficient.

evaluate

public <T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>> T evaluate(T x)
                                               throws MathIllegalStateException

Evaluates the continued fraction at the value x.

Type Parameters:

T - type of the field elements.

Parameters:

x - the evaluation point.

Returns:

the value of the continued fraction evaluated at x.

Throws:

MathIllegalStateException - if the algorithm fails to converge.

evaluate

public <T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>> T evaluate(T x,
 double epsilon)
                                               throws MathIllegalStateException

Evaluates the continued fraction at the value x.

Type Parameters:

T - type of the field elements.

Parameters:

x - the evaluation point.

epsilon - maximum error allowed.

Returns:

the value of the continued fraction evaluated at x.

Throws:

MathIllegalStateException - if the algorithm fails to converge.

evaluate

public <T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>> T evaluate(T x,
 int maxIterations)
                                               throws MathIllegalStateException

Evaluates the continued fraction at the value x.

Type Parameters:

T - type of the field elements.

Parameters:

x - the evaluation point.

maxIterations - maximum number of convergents

Returns:

the value of the continued fraction evaluated at x.

Throws:

MathIllegalStateException - if the algorithm fails to converge.

MathIllegalStateException - if maximal number of iterations is reached

evaluate

public <T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>> T evaluate(T x,
 double epsilon,
 int maxIterations)
                                               throws MathIllegalStateException

Evaluates the continued fraction at the value x.

The implementation of this method is based on the modified Lentz algorithm as described on page 18 ff. in:

• I. J. Thompson, A. R. Barnett. "Coulomb and Bessel Functions of Complex Arguments and Order." http://www.fresco.org.uk/papers/Thompson-JCP64p490.pdf

Note: the implementation uses the terms a_i and b_i as defined in Continued Fraction @ MathWorld.

Type Parameters:

T - type of the field elements.

Parameters:

x - the evaluation point.

epsilon - maximum error allowed.

maxIterations - maximum number of convergents

Returns:

the value of the continued fraction evaluated at x.

Throws:

MathIllegalStateException - if the algorithm fails to converge.

MathIllegalStateException - if maximal number of iterations is reached
