Because of the Newton-raphson iteration step, an error in the seed at X is amplified by X. Therefore, we don't want a Tchebycheff polynom or a polynom that is close to optimal according to the maximum norm on the errro of the seed value; we want one that is close to optimal according to the maximum norm on the error of the result, i.e. we want the maxima of the polynom to increase linearily. Given an interval [X0,X2) over which to approximate, with X1 := (X0+X2)/2, D := X1-X0, F := 1/D, and S := D/X1 we have, like for Tchebycheff polynoms: P(0) := 1 but then we have: P(1) := X + S*D P(2) := 2 * X^2 + S*D * X - D^2 Then again: P(n+1) := 2 * X * P(n) - D^2 * P (n-1) */ static long double merr = 42.; double err (long double a0, long double a1, long double x) { long double y0 = a0 + (x-1)*a1; long double approx = 2. * y0 - y0 * x * y0; long double true = 1./x; long double err = approx - true; if (err <= -1./65536./16384.) printf ("ERROR EXCEEDS 1 ULP %.15f %.15f %.15f\n", (double)x, (double)approx, (double)true); if (merr > err) merr = err; return err; } int main (void) { long double T[5]; /* Taylor polynom */ long double P[5][5]; int i, j; long double X0, X1, X2, S; long double inc = 1./64; long double D = inc*0.5; long i0, i1, i2, io; memset (P, 0, sizeof (P)); P[0][0] = 1.; for (i = 1; i < 5; i++) P[i][i] = 1 << i-1; P[2][0] = -D*D; for (X0 = 1.; X0 < 2.; X0 += inc) { X1 = X0 + inc * 0.5; X2 = X0 + inc; S = D / X1; T[0] = 1./X1; for (i = 1; i < 5; i++) T[i] = T[i-1] * -T[0]; #if 0 printf ("T %1.8f %f %f %f %f\n", (double)T[0], (double)T[1], (double)T[2], (double)T[3], (double)T[4]); #endif P[1][0] = S*D; P[2][1] = S*D; for (i = 3; i < 5; i++) { P[i][0] = -D*D*P[i-2][0]; for (j = 1; j < i; j++) P[i][j] = 2*P[i-1][j-1]-D*D*P[i-2][j]; } #if 0 printf ("P3 %1.8f %f %f %f %f\n", (double)P[3][0], (double)P[3][1], (double)P[3][2], (double)P[3][3], (double)P[3][4]); printf ("P4 %1.8f %f %f %f %f\n", (double)P[4][0], (double)P[4][1], (double)P[4][2], (double)P[4][3], (double)P[4][4]); #endif for (i = 4; i > 1; i--) { long double a = T[i]/P[i][i]; for (j = 0; j < i; j++) T[j] -= a * P[i][j]; } #if 0 printf ("A %1.8f %f %f\n", (double)T[0], (double)T[1], (double)T[2]); #endif #if 0 i2 = T[2]*1024; long double a = (T[2]-i/1024.)/P[2][2]; for (j = 0; j < 2; j++) T[j] -= a * P[2][j]; #else i2 = 0; #endif long double T0, Ti1; for (i = 0, i0 = 0; i < 4; i++) { i1 = T[1]*4096. + i0 / (long double)(1 << 20) - 0.5; i1 = - (-i1 & 0x0fff); Ti1 = ((unsigned)(-i1 << 20) | i0) /-(long double)(1LL<<32LL); T0 = T[0] - (T[1]-Ti1)/P[1][1] * P[1][0] - (X1 - 1) * Ti1; i0 = T0 * 1024 * 1024 + 0.5; i0 &= 0xfffff; } #if 0 printf ("A %1.8f %f %f\n", (double)T[0], (double)T[1], (double)T[2]); #endif io = (unsigned)(-i1 << 20) | i0; long double A1 = (unsigned)io/-65536./65536.; long double A0 = (unsigned)(io << 12)/65536./65536.; long double Xm0 = 1./sqrt (-A1); long double Xm1 = 0.5+0.5*-A0/A1; #if 0 printf ("%f %f %f %f\n", (double)A0, (double)A1, (double) Ti1, (double)X0); printf ("%.12f %.12f %.12f\n", err (A0, A1, X0), err (A0, A1, X1), err (A0, A1, X2)); printf ("%.12f %.12f\n", (double)Xm0, (double)Xm1); printf ("%.12f %.12f\n", err (A0, A1, Xm0), err (A0, A1, Xm1)); #endif printf ("\t.long 0x%x\n", io); } #if 0 printf ("maximum error: %.15f %x %f\n", (double)merr, (unsigned)(long long)(-merr * 65536 * 65536), (double)log(-merr)/log(2)); #endif return 0; }
