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

EXAMPLES:

sage: ComplexField()
Complex Field with 53 bits of precision
sage: ComplexField(100)
Complex Field with 100 bits of precision
sage: ComplexField(100).base_ring()
Real Field with 100 bits of precision

class sage.rings.complex_mpfr.ComplexField_class(prec=53)#

Bases: ComplexField

An approximation to the field of complex numbers using floating point numbers with any specified precision. Answers derived from calculations in this approximation may differ from what they would be if those calculations were performed in the true field of complex numbers. This is due to the rounding errors inherent to finite precision calculations.

EXAMPLES:

sage: C = ComplexField(); C
Complex Field with 53 bits of precision
sage: Q = RationalField()
sage: C(1/3)
0.333333333333333
sage: C(1/3, 2)
0.333333333333333 + 2.00000000000000*I
sage: C(RR.pi())
3.14159265358979
sage: C(RR.log2(), RR.pi())
0.693147180559945 + 3.14159265358979*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)
0.333333333333333
sage: S = PolynomialRing(Q, 'x')
sage: C(S.gen())
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: cannot convert nonconstant polynomial

This illustrates precision:

sage: CC = ComplexField(10); CC(1/3, 2/3)
0.33 + 0.67*I
sage: CC
Complex Field with 10 bits of precision
sage: CC = ComplexField(100); CC
Complex Field with 100 bits of precision
sage: z = CC(1/3, 2/3); z
0.33333333333333333333333333333 + 0.66666666666666666666666666667*I

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

sage: loads(z.dumps()) == z
True
sage: loads(CC.dumps()) == CC
True
sage: k = ComplexField(100)
sage: loads(dumps(k)) == k

This illustrates basic properties of a complex field:

class sage.rings.complex_mpfr.ComplexNumber#

Bases: FieldElement

A floating point approximation to a complex number using any specified precision. Answers derived from calculations with such approximations may differ from what they would be if those calculations were performed with true complex numbers. This is due to the rounding errors inherent to finite precision calculations.

Return the Arithmetic-Geometric Mean (AGM) of self and right.

INPUT:

  • right (complex) – another complex number

  • algorithm (string, default "optimal") – the algorithm to use (see below).

OUTPUT:

(complex) A value of the AGM of self and right. Note that this is a multi-valued function, and the algorithm used affects the value returned, as follows:

  • "pari": Call the pari:agm function from the PARI library.

  • "optimal": Use the AGM sequence such that at each stage \((a,b)\) is replaced by \((a_1,b_1)=((a+b)/2,\pm\sqrt{ab})\) where the sign is chosen so that \(|a_1-b_1|\le|a_1+b_1|\), or equivalently \(\Re(b_1/a_1)\ge 0\). The resulting limit is maximal among all possible values.

  • "principal": Use the AGM sequence such that at each stage \((a,b)\) is replaced by \((a_1,b_1)=((a+b)/2,\pm\sqrt{ab})\) where the sign is chosen so that \(\Re(b_1)\ge 0\) (the so-called principal branch of the square root).

The values \(AGM(a,0)\), \(AGM(0,a)\), and \(AGM(a,-a)\) are all taken to be 0.

EXAMPLES:

sage: a = CC(1,1)
sage: b = CC(2,-1)
sage: a.agm(b)

1.62780548487271 + 0.136827548397369*I
sage: a.agm(b, algorithm="pari")                                            # needs sage.libs.pari
1.62780548487271 + 0.136827548397369*I

Note that the series definition can only be used for \(|z| < 1\).

The \(\eta\) function is

\[\eta(z) = e^{\pi i z / 12} \prod_{n=1}^{\infty}(1-e^{2\pi inz})\]

INPUT:

  • self – element of the upper half plane (if not, raises a ValueError).

  • omit_frac – (bool, default: False), if True, omit the \(e^{\pi i z / 12}\) factor.

OUTPUT: a complex number

ALGORITHM: Uses the PARI C library.

EXAMPLES:

First we compute \(\eta(1+i)\):

sage: i = CC.0
sage: z = 1 + i; z.eta()                                                    # needs sage.libs.pari
0.742048775836565 + 0.198831370229911*I

We compute eta to low precision directly from the definition:

sage: pi = CC(pi)        # otherwise we will get a symbolic result.         # needs sage.symbolic
sage: exp(pi * i * z / 12) * prod(1 - exp(2*pi*i*n*z)                       # needs sage.libs.pari sage.symbolic
....:                             for n in range(1,10))
0.742048775836565 + 0.198831370229911*I

The optional argument allows us to omit the fractional part:

sage: z.eta(omit_frac=True)                                                 # needs sage.libs.pari
0.998129069925959
sage: prod(1 - exp(2*pi*i*n*z) for n in range(1,10))                        # needs sage.libs.pari sage.symbolic
0.998129069925958 + 4.59099857829247e-19*I

We illustrate what happens when \(z\) is not in the upper half plane:

sage: z = CC(1)
sage: z.eta()                                                               # needs sage.libs.pari

is_square()#

This function always returns true as \(\CC\) is algebraically closed.

EXAMPLES:

sage: a = ComplexNumber(2,1)

Complex logarithm of \(z\) with branch chosen as follows: Write \(z = \rho e^{i \theta}\) with \(-\pi < \theta \leq \pi\). Then \(\log(z) = \log(\rho) + i \theta\).

Warning

Currently the real log is computed using floats, so there is potential precision loss.

EXAMPLES:

sage: a = ComplexNumber(2,1)
sage: a.log()
0.804718956217050 + 0.463647609000806*I

sage: c = ComplexNumber(-1,0)

sage: c = ComplexNumber(-1,0)
sage: c.log(2)
4.53236014182719*I

If either component (real or imaginary) of the complex number is NaN (not a number), log will return the complex NaN:

sage: c = ComplexNumber(NaN,2)
sage: c.log()
NaN + NaN*I
multiplicative_order()#

sage: w.multiplicative_order()
Traceback (most recent call last):

NotImplementedError: order of element not known
norm()#

Return the norm of this complex number.

If \(c = a + bi\) is a complex number, then the norm of \(c\) is defined as the product of \(c\) and its complex conjugate:

\[\text{norm}(c) = \text{norm}(a + bi) = c \cdot \overline{c} = a^2 + b^2.\]

The norm of a complex number is different from its absolute value. The absolute value of a complex number is defined to be the square root of its norm. A typical use of the complex norm is in the integral domain \(\ZZ[i]\) of Gaussian integers, where the norm of each Gaussian integer \(c = a + bi\) is defined as its complex norm.

EXAMPLES:

This indeed acts as the square function when the imaginary component of self is equal to zero:

sage: a = ComplexNumber(2,1)
sage: a.norm()
5.00000000000000
sage: b = ComplexNumber(4.2,0)
