Field of Arbitrary Precision Complex Intervals¶

AUTHORS:

William Stein wrote complex_field.py.
William Stein (2006-01-26): complete rewrite

Then complex_field.py was copied to complex_interval_field.py and heavily modified:

Carl Witty (2007-10-24): rewrite for intervals
Niles Johnson (2010-08): trac ticket #3893: random_element() should pass on *args and **kwds.
Travis Scrimshaw (2012-10-18): Added documentation to get full coverage.

Note

The ComplexIntervalField differs from ComplexField in that ComplexIntervalField only gives the digits with exact precision, then a ? signifying that that digit can have an error of +/-1.

sage.rings.complex_interval_field.ComplexIntervalField(prec=53, names=None)¶

Return the complex interval field with real and imaginary parts having prec bits of precision.

EXAMPLES:

sage: ComplexIntervalField()
Complex Interval Field with 53 bits of precision
sage: ComplexIntervalField(100)
Complex Interval Field with 100 bits of precision
sage: ComplexIntervalField(100).base_ring()
Real Interval Field with 100 bits of precision
sage: i = ComplexIntervalField(200).gen()
sage: i^2
-1
sage: i^i
0.207879576350761908546955619834978770033877841631769608075136?

class sage.rings.complex_interval_field.ComplexIntervalField_class(prec=53)¶

Bases: sage.rings.ring.Field

The field of complex (interval) numbers.

EXAMPLES:

sage: C = ComplexIntervalField(); C
Complex Interval Field with 53 bits of precision
sage: Q = RationalField()
sage: C(1/3)
0.3333333333333334?
sage: C(1/3, 2)
0.3333333333333334? + 2*I

We can also coerce rational numbers and integers into C, but coercing a polynomial will raise an exception:

sage: Q = RationalField()
sage: C(1/3)
0.3333333333333334?
sage: S.<x> = PolynomialRing(Q)
sage: C(x)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: unable to convert x to real interval

This illustrates precision:

sage: CIF = ComplexIntervalField(10); CIF(1/3, 2/3)
0.334? + 0.667?*I
sage: CIF
Complex Interval Field with 10 bits of precision
sage: CIF = ComplexIntervalField(100); CIF
Complex Interval Field with 100 bits of precision
sage: z = CIF(1/3, 2/3); z
0.333333333333333333333333333334? + 0.666666666666666666666666666667?*I

We can load and save complex numbers and the complex interval field:

sage: saved_z = loads(z.dumps())
sage: saved_z.endpoints() == z.endpoints()
True
sage: loads(CIF.dumps()) == CIF
True
sage: k = ComplexIntervalField(100)
sage: loads(dumps(k)) == k
True

This illustrates basic properties of a complex (interval) field:

sage: CIF = ComplexIntervalField(200)
sage: CIF.is_field()
True
sage: CIF.characteristic()
0
sage: CIF.precision()
200
sage: CIF.variable_name()
'I'
sage: CIF == ComplexIntervalField(200)
True
sage: CIF == ComplexIntervalField(53)
False
sage: CIF == 1.1
False
sage: CIF = ComplexIntervalField(53)

sage: CIF.category()

Passes extra positional or keyword arguments through:
