Arbitrary Precision Complex Numbers using GNU MPC#

This is a binding for the MPC arbitrary-precision floating point library. It is adaptated from real_mpfr.pyx and complex_mpfr.pyx.

We define a class MPComplexField, where each instance of MPComplexField specifies a field of floating-point complex numbers with a specified precision shared by the real and imaginary part and a rounding mode stating the rounding mode directions specific to real and imaginary parts.

Individual floating-point numbers are of class MPComplexNumber.

For floating-point representation and rounding mode description see the documentation for the sage.rings.real_mpfr.

INPUT:

  • prec – (integer) precision; default = 53

    prec is the number of bits used to represent the mantissa of both the real and imaginary part of complex floating-point number.

  • rnd – (string) the rounding mode; default = 'RNDNN'

    Rounding mode is of the form 'RNDxy' where x and y are the rounding mode for respectively the real and imaginary parts and are one of:

    • 'N' for rounding to nearest

    • 'Z' for rounding towards zero

    • 'U' for rounding towards plus infinity

    For example, 'RNDZU' indicates to round the real part towards zero, and the imaginary part towards plus infinity.

  To:   Complex Field with 100 bits of precision
class sage.rings.complex_mpc.MPFRtoMPC#

Bases: Map

sage.rings.complex_mpc.late_import()#

Import the objects/modules after build (when needed).

sage.rings.complex_mpc.split_complex_string(string, base=10)#

Split and return in that order the real and imaginary parts of a complex in a string.

This is an internal function.

EXAMPLES:

sage: sage.rings.complex_mpc.split_complex_string('123.456e789')
('123.456e789', None)
sage: sage.rings.complex_mpc.split_complex_string('123.456e789*I')
(None, '123.456e789')
sage: sage.rings.complex_mpc.split_complex_string('123.+456e789*I')
('123.', '+456e789')
sage: sage.rings.complex_mpc.split_complex_string('123.456e789', base=2)
(None, None)
