【问题描述】：
我正在尝试将范围缩小作为实现正弦函数的第一步。
我按照论文"ARGUMENT REDUCTION FOR HUGE ARGUMENTS" by K.C. NG中描述的方法进行
当使用从 0 到 20000 的 x 的输入范围时，我得到的错误高达 0.002339146。我的错误显然不应该那么大，我不确定如何减少它。我注意到误差幅度与余弦/正弦的输入 theta 幅度相关。
我能够获得论文提到的 nearpi.c 代码，但我不确定如何将该代码用于单精度浮点。如果有人有兴趣，可以在此链接找到 nearpi.c 文件：nearpi.c
这是我的 MATLAB 代码：
x = 0:0.1:20000;
% Perform range reduction
% Store constant 2/pi
twooverpi = single(2/pi);
% Compute y
y = (x.*twooverpi);
% Compute k (round to nearest integer
k = round(y);
% Solve for f
f = single(y-k);
% Solve for r
r = single(f*single(pi/2));
% Find last two bits of k
n = bitand(fi(k,1,32,0),fi(3,1,32,0));
n = single(n);
% Preallocate for speed
z(length(x)) = 0;
for i = 1:length(x)
switch(n(i))
case 0
z(i)=sin(r(i));
case 1
z(i) = single(cos(r(i)));
case 2
z(i) = -sin(r(i));
case 3
z(i) = single(-cos(r(i)));
otherwise
end
end
maxerror = max(abs(single(z - single(sin(single(x))))))
minerror = min(abs(single(z - single(sin(single(x))))))
我已经编辑了程序 nearpi.c 以便它编译。但是我不确定如何解释输出。该文件还需要一个输入，我必须手动输入，我也不确定输入的重要性。
这是工作的 nearpi.c：

【问题讨论】：
-
IIRC 对三角函数的精确范围缩减要求 pi 和其余部分都具有很高的准确性；数学库中通常使用数百位。
-
+1 -- 有趣的论文（刚好有时间略读，以后要仔细阅读）
-
@starbox：我以前读过，是的。我不熟悉用matlab做高精度算术，所以我不会建议你怎么做。
-
输入包含 pi 的连分数，这是计算具有上述精度的所有内容所必需的，这在第 2.3 节中提到并作为参考文献引用。 [6]。因此，您可能希望获得该出版物并编写一个小程序来生成 nearpi.c 的输入文件。也许wolfram 在这里有帮助。
-
如果我使用给定系列的数字作为输入，nearpi.c 会按预期工作。 input file，-1 表示连分数输入结束。用法：
cat confrac.txt | ./a.out,here：可以得到连分数系列的前20000个。
