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!

kernelCos

Compute the cosine of a double-precision floating-point number on [-π/4, π/4].

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-kernel-cos

Usage

var kernelCos = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-kernel-cos' );

kernelCos( x, y )

Computes the cosine of a double-precision floating-point number on [-π/4, π/4].

var v = kernelCos( 0.0, 0.0 );
// returns ~1.0

v = kernelCos( 3.141592653589793/6.0, 0.0 );
// returns ~0.866

v = kernelCos( 0.785, -1.144e-17 );
// returns ~0.707

v = kernelCos( NaN, 0.0 );
// returns NaN

Notes

• For increased accuracy, the number for which the cosine should be evaluated can be supplied as a double-double number (i.e., a non-evaluated sum of two double-precision floating-point numbers x and y).

• As components of a double-double number, the two double-precision floating-point numbers x and y must satisfy

  
  

  where ulp stands for units in the last place.

Examples

var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array-base-linspace' );
var PI = require( '@stdlib/constants-float64-pi' );
var kernelCos = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-kernel-cos' );

var x = linspace( -PI/4.0, PI/4.0, 100 );

var i;
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    console.log( 'kernelCos(%d) = %d', x[ i ], kernelCos( x[ i ], 0.0 ) );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/kernel_cos.h"

stdlib_base_kernel_cos( x, y )

Computes the cosine of a double-precision floating-point number on [-π/4, π/4].

var v = stdlib_base_kernel_cos( 0.0, 0.0 );
// returns ~0.0

v = stdlib_base_kernel_cos( 3.141592653589793/6.0, 0.0 );
// returns ~0.866

The function accepts the following arguments:

• x: [in] double input value (in radians, assumed to be bounded by ~pi/4 in magnitude).
• y: [in] double tail of x.

double stdlib_base_kernel_cos( const double x, const double y );

Notes

• For increased accuracy, the number for which the cosine should be evaluated can be supplied as a double-double number (i.e., a non-evaluated sum of two double-precision floating-point numbers x and y).

Examples

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

int main( void ) {
    const double x[] = { -0.7853981633974483, -0.6108652381980153, -0.4363323129985824, -0.26179938779914946, -0.08726646259971649, 0.08726646259971649, 0.26179938779914935, 0.43633231299858233, 0.6108652381980153, 0.7853981633974483 };
    
    double out;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
        out = stdlib_base_kernel_cos( x[ i ], 0.0 );
        printf ( "x[ i ]: %lf, y: %lf, out: %lf\n", x[ i ], 0.0, out );
    }
}
