Description (last modified by )
When numerically evaluating complex_root_of(a, k)
, the index k
is passed as floating-point number:

Replying to rws:
That exact arguments are made inexact is a bug in itself. But that they are made complex (EDIT: in some machines) is beyond me.
Do you know where this happens? It seems to me that it is Pynac doing this.

Indeed numerical_approximation
of symbolic expression is lazily converting all arguments to the same parent. Which is very wrong when a function is defined on R x N
.
Perhaps it would be good to add in _evalf_
the check
if not isinstance(index, numbers.Integral): raise ValueError
Though I am curious about this sympy misbehavior.
comment:16 Changed 4 years ago by
Indeed there is a sympy bug that is now tracked at #24380.
comment:17 follow-up: ↓ 21 Changed 4 years ago by
numerical_approx
is very wrong when evaluating. It converts x^2 - 2
to x^2 - 2.0
and hence loosing precision for no good reason.
comment:18 Changed 4 years ago by
There was indeed a bug in sympy: #24380 needs review!
comment:19 Changed 4 years ago by
I suggest accepting my quick fix to resolve the blocker. Meanwhile I'm looking into Pynac.
comment:20 Changed 4 years ago by
If your only goal is to resolve the blocker doctest failures, then I think it is better to use # known bug
. The fact that the index is made floating-point is the real bug, whether it is real or complex is just a small variation.

The problem under discussion is that you have a number specified by an equation like x^2 - 2 = 0
. Now, you want an numerical approximation of it. I claim that there is not much reason to transform the equation into 1.0 * x^2 - 2.0
for doing that. In particular, this is not what the user wants. This kind of conversion is a can of worms. If you want 100 bits of your number, and start by converting the coefficients to floating points with 100 bits of precision you might loose your roots.
Note that in sympy they solve the original equation with appropriate root finding algorithms on rational numbers.

No, that is solving. N()
just converts symbolic expressions---if they happen to contain symbols you won't get a number, you get an error. _convert()
helps with that.
Note that in sympy they solve the original equation with appropriate root finding algorithms on rational numbers.
This has nothing to do with this ticket. This ticket is about losing precision in expressions that can be FP evaluated because they contain no symbols but may contain functions. While the result precision from the function at hand complex_root_of
is in principle not affected by the exactness of the index there may be existing/future functions where it is. This can be fixed by not FP converting exact function arguments and letting the function itself (i.e. its evalf
member) decide what to do with exact arguments. I may well be wrong, and the best solution instead is a type database for function arguments...

Yes but we don't do the solving. We let SymPy do it.

The expression prec*3/10

ceil(prec*log(2,10)))

That exact arguments are made inexact is a bug in itself. But that they are made complex (EDIT: in some machines) is beyond me.
