[Scilab-users] [EXTERNAL] Re: acos leads to complex values

[Carrico, Paul]

When I scroll to the list, the lowest (positive) value is 8.4E-08 (works fine) and no %eps .

How Can I check if %eps is in?

Dear All

I spent some time in looking for a mistake in my code ; finally I've found that the ACOS of a real vector leads to some complex values (???)


acos(Scar_P(:,1) ./ CM_x_CN(:,1))

Are your really sure, because we may have

--> x=-1-%eps
 x  =

  -1.


--> acos(x)
 ans  =

   3.1415927 - 2.107D-08i

S.




(the formula worked so far)


I checked that the input values are correct:

-          Comprised between [-1; 1] using MIN and MAX

-          Composed only of real values using ISREAL (all the vectors are correct)

Thus I do not understand why complex values appear ?

May it come from the vectorization ?

Paul
