Task
Hickerson series of almost integers
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

The following function,   due to D. Hickerson,   is said to generate "Almost integers" by the
"Almost Integer" page of Wolfram MathWorld,   (December 31 2013).   (See formula numbered   51.)


The function is:          


It is said to produce "almost integers" for   n   between   1   and   17. The purpose of the task is to verify this assertion.

Assume that an "almost integer" has either a nine or a zero as its first digit after the decimal point of its decimal string representation


Task

Calculate all values of the function checking and stating which are "almost integers".

Note: Use extended/arbitrary precision numbers in your calculation if necessary to ensure you have adequate precision of results as for example:

               h(18) = 3385534663256845326.39...

Bracmat

This solution approximates with enough terms to make the first two decimals right with high likelyhood. (It stops adding more terms when the first three decimals in two consecutive approximations are the same.) See Natural logarithm of 2

Bracmat has no built in support for fixed point notation of rational numbers. Therefore each Hickerson number is split in an integer part (using integer division) and a decimal part (using a string operation) before outputting.

Clojure

In order to get enough precision, the natural logarithm of 2 had to be entered manually; the BigDecimal implementation does not have a high-precision logarithm function.

(defn hickerson 
  "Hickerson number, calculated with BigDecimals and manually-entered high-precision value for ln(2)."
  [n]
  (let [n! (apply *' (range 1M (inc n)))]
    (.divide n! (*' 2 (.pow 0.693147180559945309417232121458M (inc n))) 
                30 BigDecimal/ROUND_HALF_UP)))
 
(defn almost-integer?
  "Tests whether the first digit after the decimal is 0 or 9."
  [x]
  (let [first-digit (int (mod (.divide (*' x 10) 1.0M 0 BigDecimal/ROUND_DOWN) 
                              10))]

Fōrmulæ

Fōrmulæ programs are not textual, visualization/edition of programs is done showing/manipulating structures but not text. Moreover, there can be multiple visual representations of the same program. Even though it is possible to have textual representation —i.e. XML, JSON— they are intended for storage and transfer purposes more than visualization and edition.

Programs in Fōrmulæ are created/edited online in its website.

In this page you can see and run the program(s) related to this task and their results. You can also change either the programs or the parameters they are called with, for experimentation, but remember that these programs were created with the main purpose of showing a clear solution of the task, and they generally lack any kind of validation.

Solution

func main() {
    ln2, _ := new(big.Rat).SetString("0.6931471805599453094172")
    h := big.NewRat(1, 2)
    h.Quo(h, ln2)
    var f big.Rat
    var w big.Int
    for i := int64(1); i <= 17; i++ {
        h.Quo(h.Mul(h, f.SetInt64(i)), ln2)
        w.Quo(h.Num(), h.Denom())
        f.Sub(h, f.SetInt(&w))
        y, _ := f.Float64()
        d := fmt.Sprintf("%.3f", y)
        fmt.Printf("n: %2d  h: %18d%s  Nearly integer: %t\n",
            i, &w, d[1:], d[2] == '0' || d[2] == '9')
    }

In other words, multiply the fractional part of h by ten, find the largest integer not greater than this result, and check if it's in the set {0,9}. Then format the result of h along with this set membership result.

jq

Works with: jq version 1.4

jq currently uses IEEE 754 64-bit numbers, and therefore the built-in arithmetic functions lack adequate precision to solve the task completely. In the following, therefore, we include a check for adequate precision.

def hickerson: 
  . as $n
  | (2|log) as $log2 
  | reduce range(1;$n+1) as $i ( 0.5/$log2; . * $i / $log2) ;

def precise:
   (. - 0.05) as $x | . != ($x + 0.1) ;

def almost_an_integer: 
  tostring
  | index(".") as $ix
  | if $ix == null then true
    else .[$ix+1:$ix+2] | (. == "9" or . == "0")
    end ;

range(1;18)
  | . as $i
  | hickerson
  | if precise then 
      if almost_an_integer
        then "hickerson(\($i)) is \(.) -- almost an integer"
      else "hickerson(\($i)) is \(.)"
      end
    else "insufficient precision for hickerson(\($i))"
    end
Output:

Julia

This solution implements its Hickerson Series function as a closure. It explores the effects of datatype precision, implementing a rather conservative "guard number" scheme to identify when the results may have inadequate precision. One can not be confident of the 64-bit floating point results beyond n=13, but the 256-bit precision floating point results are easily precise enough for the entire calculation to n=17. (A slight variant of this calculation, not shown here, indicates that these extended precision numbers are adequate to n=50.)

Nim

Nim floats are limited to 64 bits which is not enough to get correct results for n greater that 14. Unfortunately, the third party "bignum" proposes only big integers and big rationals. But, using an approximation of Ln(2) as a rational, it is possible to compute the terms of the Hickerson series with enough precision, at least until n = 17.

For big values, it is not possible to keep enough precision while converting a rational to a float, so we compute only the fractional part of h(n), which is sufficient to decide whether the number if nearly an integer or not.

Perl

We'll use Math::BigFloat, which comes with perl.

Conveniently, it includes a sufficiently precise logarithm function.

To avoid doing factorials or exponentiations or divisions in the loop, we first calculate the inverse of the natural log of 2, and then compute a running value of h.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Math::BigFloat;

my $iln2 = 1 / Math::BigFloat->new(2)->blog;
my $h = $iln2 / 2;

for my $n ( 1 .. 17 ) {
	$h *= $iln2;
	$h *= $n;
	my $s = $h->copy->bfround(-3)->bstr;
	printf "h(%2d) = %22s is%s almost an integer.\n",
		$n, $s, ($s =~ /\.[09]/ ? "" : " NOT");
}
Output:
h( 1) =                  1.041 is almost an integer.
h( 2) =                  3.003 is almost an integer.

We'll use FatRat values, and a series for an approximation of ln(2).

constant ln2 = [+] (1/2.FatRat, */2 ... *) Z/ 1 .. 100;
constant h = [\*] 1/2, |(1..*) X/ ln2;

use Test;
plan *;
 
for h[1..17] {
    ok m/'.'<[09]>/, .round(0.001) 
}
Output:
