Package Exports

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

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/math-base-special-kernel-cos) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Kernel Cosine

$NPM version$ $Build Status$ $Coverage Status$ $dependencies$

Compute the cosine of a 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 number on [-π/4, π/4]. 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).

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

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

$Inequality for the two components of a double-double number.$

where ulp stands for units in the last place.

Examples

var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array-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 ) );
}

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
