    • Constructor Detail

      • DfpField

        public DfpField​(int decimalDigits)
        Create a factory for the specified number of radix digits.

        Note that since the Dfp class uses 10000 as its radix, each radix digit is equivalent to 4 decimal digits. This implies that asking for 13, 14, 15 or 16 decimal digits will really lead to a 4 radix 10000 digits in all cases.

        Parameters:
        decimalDigits - minimal number of decimal digits.
    • Method Detail

        Returns:
        number of radix digits
      • setRoundingMode

        Parameters:
        a - number for which we want the exponential
        one - constant with value 1 at desired precision
        Returns:

      • computeLn

        public static Dfp computeLn​(Dfp a,
                                    Dfp one,
                                    Dfp two)
        Compute ln(a). Let f(x) = ln(x), We know that f'(x) = 1/x, thus from Taylor's theorem we have: ----- n+1 n f(x) = \ (-1) (x - 1) / ---------------- for 1 <= n <= infinity ----- n or 2 3 4 (x-1) (x-1) (x-1) ln(x) = (x-1) - ----- + ------ - ------ + ... 2 3 4 alternatively, 2 3 4 x x x ln(x+1) = x - - + - - - + ... 2 3 4 This series can be used to compute ln(x), but it converges too slowly. If we substitute -x for x above, we get 2 3 4 x x x ln(1-x) = -x - - - - - - + ... 2 3 4 Note that all terms are now negative. Because the even powered ones absorbed the sign. Now, subtract the series above from the previous one to get ln(x+1) - ln(1-x). Note the even terms cancel out leaving only the odd ones 3 5 7 2x 2x 2x ln(x+1) - ln(x-1) = 2x + --- + --- + ---- + ... 3 5 7 By the property of logarithms that ln(a) - ln(b) = ln (a/b) we have: 3 5 7 x+1 / x x x \ ln ----- = 2 * | x + ---- + ---- + ---- + ... | x-1 \ 3 5 7 / But now we want to find ln(a), so we need to find the value of x such that a = (x+1)/(x-1). This is easily solved to find that x = (a-1)/(a+1).
        Parameters:
        a - number for which we want the exponential
        one - constant with value 1 at desired precision
        two - constant with value 2 at desired precision
        Returns:
        ln(a)
