<a href="http://shoup.net/ntl/doc/RR.txt" target="_top">NTL::RR</a> (an arbitrarily-fixed
|
|
precision floating-point number type), can be used via the bindings in <a href="../../../../../../boost/math/bindings/rr.hpp" target="_top">boost/math/bindings/rr.hpp</a>.
|
|
For details, see <a href="http://shoup.net/ntl/" target="_top">NTL: A Library for doing
|
|
Number Theory by Victor Shoup</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span class="bold"><strong>New projects are recommended to use <a href="../../../../../../libs/multiprecision/doc/html/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Multiprecision</a>
|
|
instead.</strong></span>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Unfortunately <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">NTL</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">RR</span></code> doesn't quite satisfy our conceptual
|
|
requirements, so there is a very thin wrapper class <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">ntl</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">RR</span></code> defined in <a href="../../../../../../boost/math/bindings/rr.hpp" target="_top">boost/math/bindings/rr.hpp</a>
|
|
that you should use in place of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">NTL</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">RR</span></code>. The
|
|
class is intended to be a drop-in replacement for the "real" NTL::RR
|
|
that adds some syntactic sugar to keep this library happy, plus some of the
|
|
standard library functions not implemented in NTL.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For those functions that are based upon the <a class="link" href="../lanczos.html" title="The Lanczos Approximation">Lanczos
|
|
approximation</a>, the bindings defines a series of approximations with
|
|
up to 61 terms and accuracy up to approximately 3e-113. This therefore sets
|
|
the upper limit for accuracy to the majority of functions defined this library
|
|
when used with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">NTL</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">RR</span></code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is a concept checking test program for NTL support <a href="../../../../../../libs/math/test/ntl_concept_check.cpp" target="_top">here</a>.
