From 0f53c1a4266ad4cca28115e2c3bcfdc86337d8ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Szabolcs Nagy Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2012 01:43:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] math: add a non-dummy tgamma implementation uses the lanczos approximation method with the usual tweaks. same parameters were selected as in boost and python. (avoides some extra work and special casing found in boost so the precision is not that good: measured error is <5ulp for positive x and <10ulp for negative) an alternative lgamma_r implementation is also given in the same file which is simpler and smaller than the current one, but less precise so it's ifdefed out for now. --- src/math/tgamma.c | 223 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- src/math/tgammaf.c | 12 +-- 2 files changed, 215 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/math/tgamma.c b/src/math/tgamma.c index f3bbe370..a3f203c1 100644 --- a/src/math/tgamma.c +++ b/src/math/tgamma.c @@ -1,16 +1,221 @@ -#include +/* +"A Precision Approximation of the Gamma Function" - Cornelius Lanczos (1964) +"Lanczos Implementation of the Gamma Function" - Paul Godfrey (2001) +"An Analysis of the Lanczos Gamma Approximation" - Glendon Ralph Pugh (2004) -// FIXME: use lanczos approximation +approximation method: -double __lgamma_r(double, int *); + (x - 0.5) S(x) +Gamma(x) = (x + g - 0.5) * ---------------- + exp(x + g - 0.5) + +with + a1 a2 a3 aN +S(x) ~= [ a0 + ----- + ----- + ----- + ... + ----- ] + x + 1 x + 2 x + 3 x + N + +with a0, a1, a2, a3,.. aN constants which depend on g. + +for x < 0 the following reflection formula is used: + +Gamma(x)*Gamma(-x) = -pi/(x sin(pi x)) + +most ideas and constants are from boost and python +*/ +#include "libm.h" + +static const double pi = 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884; + +/* sin(pi x) with x > 0 && isnormal(x) assumption */ +static double sinpi(double x) +{ + int n; + + /* argument reduction: x = |x| mod 2 */ + /* spurious inexact when x is odd int */ + x = x * 0.5; + x = 2 * (x - floor(x)); + + /* reduce x into [-.25,.25] */ + n = 4 * x; + n = (n+1)/2; + x -= n * 0.5; + + x *= pi; + switch (n) { + default: /* case 4 */ + case 0: + return __sin(x, 0, 0); + case 1: + return __cos(x, 0); + case 2: + /* sin(0-x) and -sin(x) have different sign at 0 */ + return __sin(0-x, 0, 0); + case 3: + return -__cos(x, 0); + } +} + +#define N 12 +//static const double g = 6.024680040776729583740234375; +static const double gmhalf = 5.524680040776729583740234375; +static const double Snum[N+1] = { + 23531376880.410759688572007674451636754734846804940, + 42919803642.649098768957899047001988850926355848959, + 35711959237.355668049440185451547166705960488635843, + 17921034426.037209699919755754458931112671403265390, + 6039542586.3520280050642916443072979210699388420708, + 1439720407.3117216736632230727949123939715485786772, + 248874557.86205415651146038641322942321632125127801, + 31426415.585400194380614231628318205362874684987640, + 2876370.6289353724412254090516208496135991145378768, + 186056.26539522349504029498971604569928220784236328, + 8071.6720023658162106380029022722506138218516325024, + 210.82427775157934587250973392071336271166969580291, + 2.5066282746310002701649081771338373386264310793408, +}; +static const double Sden[N+1] = { + 0, 39916800, 120543840, 150917976, 105258076, 45995730, 13339535, + 2637558, 357423, 32670, 1925, 66, 1, +}; +/* n!
