  2. List of arbitrary-precision arithmetic software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_arbitrary...

    Go: the standard library package math/big implements arbitrary-precision integers (Int type), rational numbers (Rat type), and floating-point numbers (Float type) Guile: the built-in exact numbers are of arbitrary precision. Example: (expt 10 100) produces the expected (large) result. Exact numbers also include rationals, so (/ 3 4) produces 3/4.

  3. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    When using approximation equations or algorithms, especially when using finitely many digits to represent real numbers (which in theory have infinitely many digits), one of the goals of numerical analysis is to estimate computation errors. [5] Computation errors, also called numerical errors, include both truncation errors and roundoff errors.

  4. Rational data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_data_type

    The fraction is constructed using the % operator. [3] OCaml's Num library implements arbitrary-precision rational numbers. Perl: Math::BigRat core module implements arbitrary-precision rational numbers. The bigrat pragma can be used to turn on transparent BigRat support. Raku: use by default Rat [4] type (rational numbers with limited-precision).

    Inspired by MATLAB, Scilab was initiated in the mid-1980s at the INRIA (French national Institute for computer science and control). François Delebecque and Serge Steer developed it and it was released by INRIA in 1994 as an open-source software.

    As a result, at the point , where the accuracy of the approximation may be the worst in the ordinary Padé approximation, good accuracy of the 2-point Padé approximant is guaranteed. Therefore, the 2-point Padé approximant can be a method that gives a good approximation globally for x = 0 ∼ ∞ {\displaystyle x=0\sim \infty } .

  7. RATS (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RATS_(software)

    The forerunner of RATS was a FORTRAN program called SPECTRE, written by economist Christopher A. Sims. [2] SPECTRE was designed to overcome some limitations of existing software that affected Sims' research in the 1970s, by providing spectral analysis and also the ability to run long unrestricted distributed lags. [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remez_algorithm

    The Remez algorithm or Remez exchange algorithm, published by Evgeny Yakovlevich Remez in 1934, is an iterative algorithm used to find simple approximations to functions, specifically, approximations by functions in a Chebyshev space that are the best in the uniform norm L ∞ sense. [1]
