It will give you a clear visual perception of the gap between mathematics ... (and) your computer calculations. Lynn Wienck[1]
attractive and repelling
[edit | edit source]In the terminology of numerical analysis, computation near an attractive fixed point is stable while computation near a repelling fixed point is unstable. Generally speaking, stable computation is trustworthy while unstable computation is not. Mark McClure[2]
perturbation and aproximation
[edit | edit source]- how solution of the problem is altered for non-zero but small perturbation ( usually denoted as an espilon)
- problem can not be solved explicitely ( using symbolic methods), only numericla aproximation can be found
Convergence
[edit | edit source]" ... methods of acceleration of convergence. Suppose you have a slowly convergent series, and want to know its sum (numerically). Just by summing x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_{1000} + ... x_{1000000} + ... + x_{1000000000} + ... you will get the required accuracy after 100 years. If you fit your x_n to c_2/n^2 + c_3/n^3 + (a few more terms), you will get the same accuracy of the sum in 1 second." Andrey (theoretical high energy physicist) [3]
Above problem you can find in parabolic Julia sets.
" your sequence was generated as ... the output of a fixed point iteration . ... The Levin transformation[4] ... uses forward differences successively to remove error terms of an alternating series."[5]
Examples:
- GSL library[6][7]
- "checking for when the series approximation starts to deviate from the result of running it through the Levin u-transform available in the gnu scientific library. so far in my tests this is taking me right up to the event horizon of what will end up being the lowest iteration, even in locations that used to cause the other methods to bail on the series approximation way sooner, but it also does not seem to be going too far so as to cause glitchy artifacts. it seems to be just right, across the board, which i find to be rather exciting! " ( quaz0r about Mandelbrot )[8]
- series calculator [9]
limitation of native double numbers format
[edit | edit source]- when 2 pixels separated by less than :
- when the size of a pixel drops below approx [10]
> 1. + 2 ** -53 == 1.
True
> 10. ** -324 == 0.
True
Precision
[edit | edit source]Precision in numerical compuiting[11]
How to deal with lack of floating point precision:[12]
- implement higher precision arithmetic than your hardware natively supports
- software emulation ( emulating a double with two floats, fixed points numbers , ...)[13]
- use algorithms that are more numerically stable
- use representable numbers

How many decimal digits are there in n bits ?
[edit | edit source]One digit of binary number needs one bit : there are 2 binary digits ( 0 and 1) and bits have 2 states. One digit of decimal number needs approximately 3.4 bits.[16] There are 10 decimal numbers, 3 bits have 8 states which is not enough, 4 bits have 16 states which is too much.
| type | Total bits | Bits precision | Number of significant decimal digits |
|---|---|---|---|
| float | 32 | 24 | 6 |
| double | 64 | 53 | 15 |
| long double | 80 | 64 | 18[17] |
| mpfr_t[18] | 142 | 41 | |
| mpfr_t | 1000 | 294 |

Rules
[edit | edit source]Rounding
[edit | edit source]- "compute with two more significant figures than your ultimate answer
- Round only after the last step in calculation. Never do further calculations with rounded numbers.
- for multiplying and dividing find the number of significant digits in each factor. The result will have the smaller number of significant digits.
- For powers and roots, the answer should have the same number of significant digits as the original" [19]
- "When you add (or subtract), you keep as many decimal places as there are in the least accurate number.
- When you multiply (or divide), you keep as many significant digits as there are in the least accurate number."[20]
See
- gcc -frounding-math option
Examples of numerical computings

[edit | edit source]- Roundoff Error[21]
- Shadowing lemma : that every pseudo-orbit (which one can think of as a numerically computed trajectory with rounding errors on every step) stays uniformly close to some true trajectory[22]
External rays
[edit | edit source]Parameter rays
[edit | edit source]The Wolf Jung test : The external parameter rays for angles (in turns)
- 1/7 (period 3)
- 321685687669320/2251799813685247 (period 51)
- 321685687669322/2251799813685247 ( period 51 )
Angles differ by about , but the landing points of the corresponding parameter rays are about 0.035 apart.[23]
Dynamic rays
[edit | edit source]number type
[edit | edit source]angle precision
[edit | edit source]For rotational number ( internal angle) 1/34 ray for external angle :
lands on the alfa fixed point :
It is not a ray for angle :
which land on the point :[24]
Difference between external angles of the rays is :
and between landing points of the rays points is :
/* Maxima CAS code */ (%i1) za:0.491486549841951 +0.091874758908285*%i; (%o1) 0.091874758908285 %i + 0.491486549841951 (%i2) zb:-0.508513450158049 +0.091874758908285*%i; (%o2) 0.091874758908285 %i - 0.508513450158049 (%i3) abs(za-zb); (%o3) 1.0
Storing the angle as an exact rational (e.g. mpq_t using libgmp), allows it to be accurate for more than 53 iterations (the number of bits of accuracy of double precision floating point). Convert to double only when needing to do sin and cos for finding the target point. Double is plenty accurate for target point. ( Claude Heiland-Allen )
Escaping test
[edit | edit source]This test was introduced by by John Milnor.[25] See also analysis by Mark Braverman [26] and roundoff error by Robert P. Munafo[27]
Comment by Mark McClure :[28] " an escape time algorithm would take forever to generate that type of image, since the dynamics are so slow there. If you want resolution of 1/100, it would take roughly 2*10^8 iterates to move the point z0=0.01 to z=2 by iterating f(z)=z+z5 "
Here's an orbit computed with 1000 decimal digits, escaping after about 300000 iterations by gerrit
Cases
[edit | edit source]Nonparabolic case
[edit | edit source]Lets take simple hyperbolic case where parameter c is :
Here repelling fixed point z_f is :
Parabolic case
[edit | edit source]Lets take simple parabolic case where parameter c is :[29]
Here parabolic fixed point z_f is :
Test
[edit | edit source]Lets take point z of exterior of Julia set but lying near fixed point :
where n is a positive integer
Check how many iterates i needs point z to reach target set ( = escape) :
where ER is Escape Radius
Show relationship between :
- n
- Last Iteration
- type of numbers used for computations ( float, double, long double, extended, arbitrary precision )

Analysis
[edit | edit source]Maximal n in hyperbolic case is almost the same as the precision of the significand [31]
In parabolic case maximal is
Last Iteration ( escape time = iteration fro which abs(zn) > ER ) is : in hyperbolic case equal to n :
in parabolic case equal to 2^n :
Time of computations is proportional to number of iterations. In hyperbolic case is is short. In parabolic case grows quickly as number of iterations.
![{\displaystyle time[seconds]=6*2^{n-24}}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/153869fa499a5447fb1bd451b8b3d890b5c9591b)
Checking one point if escapes in parabolic case :
- for n = 34 take about one hour ( 5 595 seconds )
- for n = 40 take about one day
- for n = 45 take about one month
- for n = 50 take about one year
Q&A
[edit | edit source]Why programs fails ?
[edit | edit source]Cancellation of significant digits[32] and loss of significance (LOS).[33][34]
The program fails because of limited precision of used number types. Addition of big (zp) and small number (distance) gives number which has more decimal digits then can be saved ( floating point type has only 7 decimal digits). Some of the most right digits are cancelled and iteration goes into an infinite loop.
For example : when using floating point in parabolic case lets take
float cx = 0.25;
float Zpx = 0.5;
float Zx ;
float distance;
float Zx2;
float n = 13;
so
distance = pow(2.0,-n); // = 1.2207031250e-04 = 0,00012207
It is greater than machine epsilon:[35]
distance > FLT_EPSILON // = pow(2, -24) = 5.96e-08 = 0,00000006
so this addition still works :
Zx = Zpx + distance; // adding big and small number gives 0,50012207
After multiplication it gives :
Zx2 = Zx*Zx; // = 0,250122
next step is addition. Because floating point format saves only 7 decimal digits it is truncated to :
Zx = Zx2 + cx; // = 0,500122 = Zp + (distance/2)
Here relative error is to big and
d2= 0.0000000149 // distance*distance
is smaller then FLT_EPSILON/2.0 = 0.0000000596;
Solution : increase precision !
