Fixed precision complex balls

Arbitrary precision complex ball arithmetic is supplied by Arb which provides a ball representation which tracks error bounds rigorously. Complex numbers are represented in rectangular form $a+bi$ where $a,b$ are ArbFieldElem balls.

The Arb complex field is constructed using the AcbField constructor. This constructs the parent object for the Arb complex field.

The types of complex boxes in Nemo are given in the following table, along with the libraries that provide them and the associated types of the parent objects.

Library	Field	Element type	Parent type
Arb	$\mathbb{C}$ (boxes)	`AcbFieldElem`	`AcbField`

All the complex field types belong to the Field abstract type and the types of elements in this field, i.e. complex boxes in this case, belong to the FieldElem abstract type.

Complex ball functionality

The complex balls in Nemo provide all the field functionality defined by AbstractAlgebra:.

https://nemocas.github.io/AbstractAlgebra.jl/stable/field

Below, we document the additional functionality provided for complex balls.

Complex field constructors

In order to construct complex boxes in Nemo, one must first construct the Arb complex field itself. This is accomplished with the following constructor.

AcbField(prec::Int)

Return the Arb complex field with precision in bits prec used for operations on interval midpoints. The precision used for interval radii is a fixed implementation-defined constant (30 bits).

Here is an example of creating an Arb complex field and using the resulting parent object to coerce values into the resulting field.

Examples

julia> CC = AcbField(64)
Complex Field with 64 bits of precision and error bounds

julia> a = CC("0.25")
0.25000000000000000000

julia> b = CC("0.1")
[0.100000000000000000 +/- 1.22e-20]

julia> c = CC(0.5)
0.50000000000000000000

julia> d = CC(12)
12.000000000000000000

Note that whilst one can coerce double precision floating point values into an Arb complex field, unless those values can be represented exactly in double precision the resulting ball can't be any more precise than the double precision supplied.

If instead, values can be represented precisely using decimal arithmetic then one can supply them to Arb using a string. In this case, Arb will store them to the precision specified when creating the Arb complex field.

If the values can be stored precisely as a binary floating point number, Arb will store the values exactly. See the function is_exact below for more information.

Constructors

Nemo.onei — Method

onei(r::AcbField)

Return exact one times $i$ in the given Arb complex field.

Examples

julia> CC = AcbField(64)
Complex Field with 64 bits of precision and error bounds

julia> c = onei(CC)
1.0000000000000000000*im

Basic functionality

The following basic functionality is provided by the default Arb complex field implementation in Nemo, to support construction of generic rings over complex fields. Any custom complex field implementation in Nemo should provide analogues of these functions along with the usual arithmetic operations.

parent_type(::Type{AcbFieldElem})

Gives the type of the parent object of an Arb complex field element.

elem_type(R::AcbField)

Given the parent object for an Arb complex field, return the type of elements of the field.

mul!(c::AcbFieldElem, a::AcbFieldElem, b::AcbFieldElem)

Multiply $a$ by $b$ and set the existing Arb complex field element $c$ to the result. This function is provided for performance reasons as it saves allocating a new object for the result and eliminates associated garbage collection.

deepcopy(a::AcbFieldElem)

Return a copy of the Arb complex field element $a$, recursively copying the internal data. Arb complex field elements are mutable in Nemo so a shallow copy is not sufficient.

Given the parent object R for an Arb complex field, the following coercion functions are provided to coerce various elements into the Arb complex field. Developers provide these by overloading the call operator for the complex field parent objects.

R()

Coerce zero into the Arb complex field.

R(n::Integer)
R(f::ZZRingElem)
R(q::QQFieldElem)

Coerce an integer or rational value into the Arb complex field.

R(f::Float64)
R(f::BigFloat)

Coerce the given floating point number into the Arb complex field.

R(f::AbstractString)
R(f::AbstractString, g::AbstractString)

Coerce the decimal number, given as a string, into the Arb complex field. In each case $f$ is the real part and $g$ is the imaginary part.

R(f::ArbFieldElem)

Coerce the given Arb real ball into the Arb complex field.

R(f::AcbFieldElem)

Take an Arb complex field element that is already in an Arb field and simply return it. A copy of the original is not made.

Here are some examples of coercing elements into the Arb complex field.

julia> RR = ArbField(64)
Real Field with 64 bits of precision and error bounds

julia> CC = AcbField(64)
Complex Field with 64 bits of precision and error bounds

julia> a = CC(3)
3.0000000000000000000

julia> b = CC(QQ(2,3))
[0.6666666666666666666 +/- 8.48e-20]

julia> c = CC("3 +/- 0.0001")
[3.000 +/- 1.01e-4]

julia> d = CC("-1.24e+12345")
[-1.240000000000000000e+12345 +/- 1.16e+12326]

julia> f = CC("nan +/- inf")
nan

julia> g = CC(RR(3))
3.0000000000000000000

In addition to the above, developers of custom complex field types must ensure that they provide the equivalent of the function base_ring(R::AcbField) which should return Union{}. In addition to this they should ensure that each complex field element contains a field parent specifying the parent object of the complex field element, or at least supply the equivalent of the function parent(a::AcbFieldElem) to return the parent object of a complex field element.

Comparison

Nemo provides a full range of comparison operations for Arb complex boxes.

In addition to the standard comparisons, we introduce an exact equality. This is distinct from arithmetic equality implemented by ==, which merely compares up to the minimum of the precisions of its operands.

isequal(x::AcbFieldElem, y::AcbFieldElem)

Return true if the boxes $x$ and $y$ are precisely equal, i.e. their real and imaginary parts have the same midpoints and radii.
