Task

Write a function to compute the arithmetic-geometric mean of two numbers.


The arithmetic-geometric mean of two numbers can be (usefully) denoted as , and is equal to the limit of the sequence:

Since the limit of tends (rapidly) to zero with iterations, this is an efficient method.

Demonstrate the function by calculating:

ALGOL 68

Algol 68 Genie gives IEEE double precision for REAL quantities, 28 decimal digits for LONG REALs and, by default, 63 decimal digits for LONG LONG REAL though this can be made arbitrarily greater with a pragmat.

Printing out the difference between the means at each iteration nicely demonstrates the quadratic convergence.

Sinclair ZX81 BASIC

Works with 1k of RAM.

The specification calls for a function. Sadly that is not available to us, so this program uses a subroutine: pass the arguments in the global variables A and G, and the result will be returned in AGM. The performance is quite acceptable. Note that the subroutine clobbers A and G, so you should save them if you want to use them again.

Better precision than this is not easily obtainable on the ZX81, unfortunately.

00

The limit (19,740) is imposed by the accuracy (65568). Using 6 iterations would produce a less accurate result. At 7 iterations increasing the 65568 would mean we already have 38,000 or so digits accurate.

Note that the last 5 digits are spurious, as maximumRelativeDifference was only specified to be 1e-5. Using 1e-11 instead will give the result 0.847213084793979, which is as far as double can take it.

C# with System.Numerics

Even though the System.Numerics library directly supports only BigInteger (and not big rationals or big floating point numbers), it can be coerced into making this calculation. One just has to keep track of the decimal place and multiply by a very large constant.

using static System.Math;
using static System.Console;
using BI = System.Numerics.BigInteger;
 
class Program {
 
    static BI BIP(char leadDig, int numDigs) { // makes big constant 
        return BI.Parse(leadDig + new string('0', numDigs)); }
 
    static BI IntSqRoot(BI v, BI res) { // res is the initial guess
        BI term = 0, d = 0, dl = 1; while (dl != d) { term = v / res; res = (res + term) >> 1;
            dl = d; d = term - res; } return term; }
 
    static BI CalcByAGM(int digs) { // note: a and b are hard-coded for this RC task
        BI a = BIP('1', digs), // value of 1, extended to required number of digits 
            b = BI.Parse(string.Format("{0:0.00000000000000000}", Sqrt(0.5)).Substring(2) +
                new string('0', digs - 17)), // initial guess for square root of 0.5
            c, // temporary variable to swap a and b
            diff = 0, ldiff = 1; // difference of a and b, last difference
        b = IntSqRoot(BIP('5', (digs << 1) - 1), b); // value of square root of 0.5
        while (ldiff != diff) { ldiff = diff; c = a; a = (a + b) >> 1;
            diff = a - (b = IntSqRoot(c * b, a)); } return b; }
 
    static void Main(string[] args) {
        int digits = 25000; if (args.Length > 0) {
            int.TryParse(args[0], out digits);
            if (digits < 1 || digits > 999999) digits = 25000; }
        WriteLine("0.{0}", CalcByAGM(digits));
        if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached) ReadKey(); }

Solution:

double agm (double a, double g) {
    double an = a, gn = g
    while ((an-gn).abs() >= 10.0**-14) { (an, gn) = [(an+gn)*0.5, (an*gn)**0.5] }
    an
}

Test:

println "agm(1, 0.5**0.5) = agm(1, ${0.5**0.5}) = ${agm(1, 0.5**0.5)}"
assert (0.8472130847939792 - agm(1, 0.5**0.5)).abs() <= 10.0**-14

J

This one is probably worth not naming, in J, because there are so many interesting variations.

First, the basic approach (with display precision set to 16 digits, which slightly exceeds the accuracy of 64 bit IEEE floating point arithmetic):

mean=: +/ % #
   (mean , */ %:~ #)^:_] 1,%%:2
0.8472130847939792 0.8472130847939791

This is the limit -- it stops when values are within a small epsilon of previous calculations. We can ask J for unique values (which also means -- unless we specify otherwise -- values within a small epsilon of each other, for floating point values):

   ~.(mean , */ %:~ #)^:_] 1,%%:2
0.8472130847939792

Another variation would be to show intermediate values, in the limit process:

   (mean, */ %:~ #)^:a: 1,%%:2
                 1 0.7071067811865475
0.8535533905932737 0.8408964152537145
0.8472249029234942 0.8472012667468915
0.8472130848351929 0.8472130847527654
0.8472130847939792 0.8472130847939791

Arbitrary Precision

Another variation would be to use arbitrary precision arithmetic in place of floating point arithmetic.

Borrowing routines from that page, but going with a default of approximately 100 digits of precision:

DP=:101

round=: DP&$: : (4 : 0)
 b %~ <.1r2+y*b=. 10x^x
)

sqrt=: DP&$: : (4 : 0) " 0
 assert. 0<:y
 %/ <.@%: (2 x: (2*x) round y)*10x^2*x+0>.>.10^.y
)

ln=: DP&$: : (4 : 0) " 0
 assert. 0<y
 m=. <.0.5+2^.y
 t=. (<:%>:) (x:!.0 y)%2x^m
 if. x<-:#":t do. t=. (1+x) round t end.
 ln2=. 2*+/1r3 (^%]) 1+2*i.>.0.5*(%3)^.0.5*0.1^x+>.10^.1>.m
 lnr=. 2*+/t   (^%]) 1+2*i.>.0.5*(|t)^.0.5*0.1^x
 lnr + m * ln2
)

exp=: DP&$: : (4 : 0) " 0
 m=. <.0.5+y%^.2
 xm=. x+>.m*10^.2
 d=. (x:!.0 y)-m*xm ln 2
 if. xm<-:#":d do. d=. xm round d end.
 e=. 0.1^xm
 n=. e (>i.1:) a (^%!@]) i.>.a^.e [ a=. |y-m*^.2 
 (2x^m) * 1++/*/\d%1+i.n
)

We are also going to want a routine to display numbers with this precision, and we are going to need to manage epsilon manually, and we are going to need an arbitrary root routine:

fmt=:[: ;:inv DP&$: : (4 :0)&.>
  x{.deb (x*2j1)":y
)

root=: ln@] exp@% [

epsilon=: 1r9^DP

Some example uses:

   fmt sqrt 2
1.414213562373095048801688724209698078569671875376948073176679737990732478462107038850387534327641572
   fmt *~sqrt 2

   fmt epsilon
0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000418
   fmt 2 root 2
1.414213562373095048801688724209698078569671875376948073176679737990732478462107038850387534327641572

Note that 2 root 2 is considerably slower than sqrt 2. The price of generality. So, while we could define geometric mean generally, a desire for good performance pushes us to use a routine specialized for two numbers:

geomean=: */ root~ #
geomean2=: [: sqrt */

A quick test to make sure these can be equivalent:

   fmt geomean 3 5
3.872983346207416885179265399782399610832921705291590826587573766113483091936979033519287376858673517
   fmt geomean2 3 5
3.872983346207416885179265399782399610832921705291590826587573766113483091936979033519287376858673517

Now for our task example:

   fmt (mean, geomean2)^:(epsilon <&| -/)^:a: 1,%sqrt 2
1.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0.707106781186547524400844362104849039284835937688474036588339868995366239231053519425193767163820786

We could of course extract out only a representative final value, but it's obvious enough, and showing how rapidly this converges is fun.

; This is not strictly LLVM, as it uses the C library function "printf".
; LLVM does not provide a way to print values, so the alternative would be
; to just load the string into memory, and that would be boring.

; Additional comments have been inserted, as well as changes made from the output produced by clang such as putting more meaningful labels for the jumps

Maple provides this function under the name GaussAGM. To compute a floating point approximation, use evalf.

> evalf( GaussAGM( 1, 1 / sqrt( 2 ) ) ); # default precision is 10 digits
                              0.8472130847

> evalf[100]( GaussAGM( 1, 1 / sqrt( 2 ) ) ); # to 100 digits
0.847213084793979086606499123482191636481445910326942185060579372659\
    7340048341347597232002939946112300

Alternatively, if one or both arguments is already a float, Maple will compute a floating point approximation automatically.

> GaussAGM( 1.0, 1 / sqrt( 2 ) );

Racket

This version uses Racket's normal numbers:

#lang racket
(define (agm a g [ε 1e-15])
  (if (<= (- a g) ε)
      a
      (agm (/ (+ a g) 2) (sqrt (* a g)) ε)))

(agm 1 (/ 1 (sqrt 2)))

Output:

This alternative version uses arbitrary precision floats:

#lang racket
(require math/bigfloat)
(bf-precision 200)
(bfagm 1.bf (bf/ (bfsqrt 2.bf)))

Output:

(bf #e0.84721308479397908660649912348219163648144591032694218506057918)

sub agm( $a is copy, $g is copy ) {
    ($a, $g) = ($a + $g)/2, sqrt $a * $g until $a$g;
    return $a;
}
 
say agm 1, 1/sqrt 2;
Output:
0.84721308479397917

It's also possible to write it recursively:

sub agm( $a, $g ) {
    $a$g ?? $a !! agm(|@$_)
        given ($a + $g)/2, sqrt $a * $g;
}

say agm 1, 1/sqrt 2;

We can also get a bit fancy and use a converging sequence of complex numbers:

sub agm {
  ($^z, {(.re+.im)/2 + (.re*.im).sqrt*1i} ... * ≅ *)
  .tail.re
}
 
say agm 1 + 1i/2.sqrt

Flt Version

The thing to note about this implementation is that it uses the Flt library for high-precision math. This lets you adapt context (including precision and epsilon) to a ridiculous-in-real-life degree.

# The flt package (http://flt.rubyforge.org/) is useful for high-precision floating-point math.
# It lets us control 'context' of numbers, individually or collectively -- including precision
# (which adjusts the context's value of epsilon accordingly).

require 'flt'
include Flt

BinNum.Context.precision = 512  # default 53 (bits)

def agm(a,g)
  new_a = BinNum a
  new_g = BinNum g
  while new_a - new_g > new_a.class.Context.epsilon do
    old_g = new_g
    new_g = (new_a * new_g).sqrt

Ruby has a BigDecimal class in standard library

require 'bigdecimal'

PRECISION = 100
EPSILON = 0.1 ** (PRECISION/2)
BigDecimal::limit(PRECISION)

SQL

Works with: oracle version 11.2 and higher

The solution uses recursive WITH clause (aka recursive CTE, recursive query, recursive factored subquery). Some, perhaps many, but not all SQL dialects support recursive WITH clause. The solution below was written and tested in Oracle SQL - Oracle has supported recursive WITH clause since version 11.2.

with
  rec (rn, a, g, diff) as (
    select  1, 1, 1/sqrt(2), 1 - 1/sqrt(2)
      from  dual
    union all
    select  rn + 1, (a + g)/2, sqrt(a * g), (a + g)/2 - sqrt(a * g)
      from  rec
      where diff > 1e-38
  )
select *
from   rec
where  diff <= 1e-38
;


Output:

Tcl

The tricky thing about this implementation is that despite the finite precision available to IEEE doubles (which Tcl uses in its implementation of floating point arithmetic, in common with many other languages) the sequence of values does not quite converge to a single value; it gets to within a ULP and then errors prevent it from getting closer. This means that an additional termination condition is required: once a value does not change (hence the old_b variable) we have got as close as we can. Note also that we are using exact equality with floating point; this is reasonable because this is a rapidly converging sequence (it only takes 4 iterations in this case).

proc agm {a b} {
    set old_b [expr {$b<0?inf:-inf}]
    while {$a != $b && $b != $old_b} {
	set old_b $b
	lassign [list [expr {0.5*($a+$b)}] [expr {sqrt($a*$b)}]] a b
    }
    return $a
}

puts [agm 1 [expr 1/sqrt(2)]]

ksh is one of the few unix shells that can do floating point arithmetic (bash does not).

    while (( abs(a-g) > eps )); do
        print "debug: a=$a\tg=$g"
        tmp=$(( (a+g)/2.0 ))
        g=$(( sqrt(a*g) ))
        a=$tmp
    done
    echo $a
}

agm $((1/sqrt(2))) 1

You can get a more approximate convergence by changing the while condition to compare the numbers as strings: change
while (( abs(a-g) > eps ))
to
while [[ $a != $g ]]
