The binary splitting with the R `gmp` package - Application to the Gauss hypergeometric function

Publié le 30 Novembre 2012 par Stéphane Laurent dans R, Mathematics

In this article you will firstly see how to get rational numbers arbitrary close to \( \pi \) by performing the binary splitting algorithm with the gmp package. The binary splitting algorithm fastly calculates the partial sums of a rational hypergeometric...
