    • gamma

      public static Apfloat gamma​(Apfloat a, Apfloat x0, Apfloat x1)
      Generalized incomplete gamma function.

      This function is defined as: Γ(a, x0, x1) = Γ(a, x0) - Γ(a, x1)

      The lower gamma function can be calculated with: γ(a, x) = Γ(a, 0, x)

      This implementation is slow, meaning that it isn't a fast algorithm. The asymptotic complexity is something like O(n2log n) and it is impractically slow beyond a precision of a few thousand digits. At the time of implementation no generic fast algorithm is known for the gamma function.

      Parameters:
      a - The first argument.
      x0 - The second argument.
      x1 - The third argument.
      Returns:
      Γ(a, x0, x1)
      Throws:
      ArithmeticException - If a is not a positive integer and either x0 or x1 is nonpositive.
      Since:
      1.10.0

    • random

      public static Apfloat random​(long digits)
      Generates a random number. Uses the default radix. Returned values are chosen pseudorandomly with (approximately) uniform distribution from the range 0 ≤ x < 1. The generated random numbers may have leading zeros and may thus not always have exactly the requested number of significant digits. The precision of the numbers is the requested number of digits minus the number of leading zeros. Trailing zeros do not affect the precision.
      Parameters:
      digits - Maximum number of digits in the number.
      Returns:
      A random number, uniformly distributed between 0 ≤ x < 1.
      Throws:
      NumberFormatException - If the default radix is not valid.
      IllegalArgumentException - In case the number of specified digits is invalid.
      Since:
      1.9.0

    • random

      public static Apfloat random​(long digits, int radix)
      Generates a random number. Returned values are chosen pseudorandomly with (approximately) uniform distribution from the range 0 ≤ x < 1.

      Parameters:
      digits - Maximum number of digits in the number.

      public static Apfloat nextAfter​(Apfloat start, Apfloat direction)
      Returns the number adjacent to the first argument in the direction of the second argument, considering the scale and precision of the first argument. If the precision of the first argument is infinite, the first argument is returned. If both arguments compare as equal then the first argument is returned.
      Parameters:
      start - The starting value.
      direction - Value indicating which of start's neighbors or start should be returned.
