The functions for handling erna objects are organized into layers, so that, as much as possible, a function in a superior layer accesses only functions from the layer immediately inferior.
We present in the following some of the most important functions.
symb2real(c) | vect2realVect(v) |
symb2complex(c) | matrix2realMatrix(m) |
dump(r)
for obtaining the known approximation of
r
;
epsint(r,eps)
for obtaining an approximation of r
of accuracy eps
; returns the value of the approximation;
refine(r)
for getting a better approximation of
r
; returns a two-element list with the new approximation and
its accuracy.
r
.
realAdd
, realProd
, realMinus
,
realInverse
, realDiv
, realPower
, etc., with
obvious meaning; similarly for erna complex: compAdd
,
compProd
, compMinus
, compDiv
,
compPower
, compInverse
, and for composite objects:
rTranspose
, rVectorAdd
, rMatrixAdd
,
rMatrixProd
, rMatrixInverse
, rSubmatrix
, etc.
