Function primitive_float_asin 

Source
pub fn primitive_float_asin<T>(x: T) -> T
where Float: From<T> + PartialOrd<T>, for<'a> T: ExactFrom<&'a Float> + RoundingFrom<&'a Float> + PrimitiveFloat,
Expand description

Computes $\arcsin x$, the arcsine of a primitive float. Using this function is more accurate than using the default asin function or the one provided by libm.

$$ f(x) = \arcsin x+\varepsilon. $$

  • If $x$ is NaN, $\varepsilon$ may be ignored or assumed to be 0.
  • If $x$ is not NaN, then $|\varepsilon| < 2^{\lfloor\log_2 |\arcsin x|\rfloor-p}$, where $p$ is the precision of the output (24 if T is a f32 and 53 if T is a f64).

Special cases:

  • $f(\text{NaN},p,m)=f(\pm\infty,p,m)=\text{NaN}$
  • $f(x,p,m)=\text{NaN}$ for $|x|>1$
  • $f(\pm0.0,p,m)=\pm0.0$
  • $f(\pm1,p,m)=\pm\pi/2$, rounded

Neither overflow nor underflow is possible: the result lies in $[-\pi/2, \pi/2]$, and $|\arcsin x| > |x|$ for nonzero $x$, so the result is subnormal only when $x$ is, and then it is $x$ itself, since $|\arcsin x - x| < |x|^3/3$.

§Worst-case complexity

Constant time and additional memory.

§Examples

use malachite_base::num::basic::traits::NegativeInfinity;
use malachite_base::num::float::NiceFloat;
use malachite_float::float::arithmetic::asin::primitive_float_asin;

assert!(primitive_float_asin(f32::NAN).is_nan());
assert_eq!(
    NiceFloat(primitive_float_asin(f32::INFINITY)),
    NiceFloat(f32::NAN)
);
assert_eq!(
    NiceFloat(primitive_float_asin(f32::NEGATIVE_INFINITY)),
    NiceFloat(f32::NAN)
);
assert_eq!(NiceFloat(primitive_float_asin(0.0f32)), NiceFloat(0.0));
assert_eq!(NiceFloat(primitive_float_asin(-0.0f32)), NiceFloat(-0.0));
assert_eq!(
    NiceFloat(primitive_float_asin(1.0f32)),
    NiceFloat(1.5707964)
);
