About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Gamma Scaled Lanczos Sum

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Calculate a scaled Lanczos sum for the approximation of the gamma function.

The Lanczos approximation for the gamma function can be written in partial fraction form as follows:

Lanczos approximation for gamma function.
-->

where g is an arbitrary constant and L_g(n) is the Lanczos sum. The scaled Lanczos sum is given by

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-gamma-lanczos-sum-expg-scaled

Usage

var gammaLanczosSumExpGScaled = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-gamma-lanczos-sum-expg-scaled' );
gammaLanczosSumExpGScaled( x )

Calculates the Lanczos sum for the approximation of the gamma function (scaled by exp(-g), where g = 10.900511).

var v = gammaLanczosSumExpGScaled( 4.0 );
// returns ~0.018

v = gammaLanczosSumExpGScaled( -1.5 );
// returns ~25.337

v = gammaLanczosSumExpGScaled( -0.5 );
// returns ~-12.911

v = gammaLanczosSumExpGScaled( 0.5 );
// returns ~1.772

v = gammaLanczosSumExpGScaled( 0.0 );
// returns Infinity

v = gammaLanczosSumExpGScaled( NaN );
// returns NaN

Examples

var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array-base-linspace' );
var gammaLanczosSumExpGScaled = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-gamma-lanczos-sum-expg-scaled' );

var x = linspace( -10.0, 10.0, 100 );

var i;
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    console.log( 'x: %d, f(x): %d', x[ i ], gammaLanczosSumExpGScaled( x[ i ] ) );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/gamma_lanczos_sum_expg_scaled.h"
stdlib_base_gamma_lanczos_sum_expg_scaled( x )

Calculates the Lanczos sum for the approximation of the gamma function (scaled by exp(-g), where g = 10.900511).

double out = stdlib_base_gamma_lanczos_sum_expg_scaled( 4.0 );
// returns ~0.018

out = stdlib_base_gamma_lanczos_sum_expg_scaled( -1.5 );
// returns ~25.337

The function accepts the following arguments:

  • x: [in] double input value.
double stdlib_base_gamma_lanczos_sum_expg_scaled( const double x );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/gamma_lanczos_sum_expg_scaled.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    const double x[] = { 4.0, -1.5, -0.5, 0.5 };

    double y;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        y = stdlib_base_gamma_lanczos_sum_expg_scaled( x[ i ] );
        printf( "gamma_lanczos_sum_expg_scaled(%lf) = %lf\n", x[ i ], y );
    }
}
