pi = r"""
`\pi`, roughly equal to 3.141592654, represents the area of the unit
circle, the half-period of trigonometric functions, and many other
things in mathematics.

Mpmath can evaluate `\pi` to arbitrary precision::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 50; mp.pretty = True
    >>> +pi
    3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751

This shows digits 99991-100000 of `\pi` (the last digit is actually
a 4 when the decimal expansion is truncated, but here the nearest
rounding is used)::

    >>> mp.dps = 100000
    >>> str(pi)[-10:]
    '5549362465'

**Possible issues**

:data:`pi` always rounds to the nearest floating-point
number when used. This means that exact mathematical identities
involving `\pi` will generally not be preserved in floating-point
arithmetic. In particular, multiples of :data:`pi` (except for
the trivial case ``0*pi``) are *not* the exact roots of
:func:`~mpmath.sin`, but differ roughly by the current epsilon::

    >>> mp.dps = 15
    >>> sin(pi)
    1.22464679914735e-16

One solution is to use the :func:`~mpmath.sinpi` function instead::

    >>> sinpi(1)
    0.0

See the documentation of trigonometric functions for additional
details.

degree = r"""
Represents one degree of angle, `1^{\circ} = \pi/180`, or
about 0.01745329. This constant may be evaluated to arbitrary

e = r"""
The transcendental number `e` = 2.718281828... is the base of the

    >>> +e
    2.7182818284590452353602874713526624977572470937

This shows digits 99991-100000 of `e` (the last digit is actually

    >>> mp.dps = 100000
    >>> str(e)[-10:]
    '2100427166'

**Possible issues**

:data:`e` always rounds to the nearest floating-point number
when used, and mathematical identities involving `e` may not
hold in floating-point arithmetic. For example, ``ln(e)``
might not evaluate exactly to 1.

In particular, don't use ``e**x`` to compute the exponential
function. Use ``exp(x)`` instead; this is both faster and more
accurate.

glaisher = r"""
Glaisher's constant `A`, also known as the Glaisher-Kinkelin

The constant is defined  as `A = \exp(1/12-\zeta'(-1))` where
`\zeta'(s)` denotes the derivative of the Riemann zeta function
(see :func:`~mpmath.zeta`).

sqrt = r"""
``sqrt(x)`` gives the principal square root of `x`, `\sqrt x`.
For positive real numbers, the principal root is simply the

"""

root = r"""
``root(z, n, k=0)`` computes an `n`-th root of `z`, i.e. returns a number
`r` that (up to possible approximation error) satisfies `r^n = z`.
(``nthroot`` is available as an alias for ``root``.)

Every complex number `z \ne 0` has `n` distinct `n`-th roots, which are
equidistant points on a circle with radius `|z|^{1/n}`, centered around the
origin. A specific root may be selected using the optional index
`k`. The roots are indexed counterclockwise, starting with `k = 0` for the root
closest to the positive real half-axis.

The `k = 0` root is the so-called principal `n`-th root, often denoted by
`\sqrt[n]{z}` or `z^{1/n}`, and also given by `\exp(\log(z) / n)`. If `z` is
a positive real number, the principal root is just the unique positive
`n`-th root of `z`. Under some circumstances, non-principal real roots exist:
for positive real `z`, `n` even, there is a negative root given by `k = n/2`;
for negative real `z`, `n` odd, there is a negative root given by `k = (n-1)/2`.

To obtain all roots with a simple expression, use
``[root(z,n,k) for k in range(n)]``.

An important special case, ``root(1, n, k)`` returns the `k`-th `n`-th root of
unity, `\zeta_k = e^{2 \pi i k / n}`. Alternatively, :func:`~mpmath.unitroots`
provides a slightly more convenient way to obtain the roots of unity,
including the option to compute only the primitive roots of unity.

Both `k` and `n` should be integers; `k` outside of ``range(n)`` will be
reduced modulo `n`. If `n` is negative, `x^{-1/n} = 1/x^{1/n}` (or
the equivalent reciprocal for a non-principal root with `k \ne 0`) is computed.

:func:`~mpmath.root` is implemented to use Newton's method for small
`n`. At high precision, this makes `x^{1/n}` not much more
expensive than the regular exponentiation, `x^n`. For very large
`n`, :func:`~mpmath.nthroot` falls back to use the exponential function.

**Examples**

:func:`~mpmath.nthroot`/:func:`~mpmath.root` is faster and more accurate than raising to a
floating-point fraction::

    >>> from mpmath import *

Every `n`-th root of unity satisfies `(\zeta_k)^n = 1`. There are `n` distinct

The `n`-th roots of unity form a group, the cyclic group of order `n`.
Any primitive root `r` is a generator for this group, meaning that
`r^0, r^1, \ldots, r^{n-1}` gives the whole set of unit roots (in
some permuted order)::

log = r"""
Computes the base-`b` logarithm of `x`, `\log_b(x)`. If `b` is

By convention, we take `\log(0) = -\infty`.

The natural logarithm is real if `x > 0` and complex if `x < 0` or if

atan2 = r"""
Computes the two-argument arctangent, `\mathrm{atan2}(y, x)`,
giving the signed angle between the positive `x`-axis and the

real `x` and `y` only.

The two-argument arctangent essentially computes
`\mathrm{atan}(y/x)`, but accounts for the signs of both
`x` and `y` to give the angle for the correct quadrant. The
following examples illustrate the difference::

    (-2.35619449019234, 0.785398163397448)

"""

fibonacci = r"""
``fibonacci(n)`` computes the `n`-th Fibonacci number, `F(n)`. The
Fibonacci numbers are defined by the recurrence `F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2)`
with the initial values `F(0) = 0`, `F(1) = 1`. :func:`~mpmath.fibonacci`
extends this definition to arbitrary real and complex arguments
using the formula

.. math ::

  F(z) = \frac{\phi^z - \cos(\pi z) \phi^{-z}}{\sqrt 5}

where `\phi` is the golden ratio. :func:`~mpmath.fibonacci` also uses this
continuous formula to compute `F(n)` for extremely large `n`, where
calculating the exact integer would be wasteful.

For convenience, :func:`~mpmath.fib` is available as an alias for
:func:`~mpmath.fibonacci`.

**Basic examples**

Some small Fibonacci numbers are::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 15; mp.pretty = True
    >>> for i in range(10):
    ...     print(fibonacci(i))
    ...
    0.0
    1.0
    1.0
    2.0

    13.0
    21.0
    34.0
    >>> fibonacci(50)
    12586269025.0

The recurrence for `F(n)` extends backwards to negative `n`::

    >>> for i in range(10):
    ...     print(fibonacci(-i))
    ...
    0.0
    1.0
    -1.0

    -8.0
    13.0
    -21.0
    34.0

Large Fibonacci numbers will be computed approximately unless
the precision is set high enough::

    >>> fib(200)
    2.8057117299251e+41
    >>> mp.dps = 45
    >>> fib(200)
    280571172992510140037611932413038677189525.0

:func:`~mpmath.fibonacci` can compute approximate Fibonacci numbers
of stupendous size::

    >>> mp.dps = 15
    >>> fibonacci(10**25)
    3.49052338550226e+2089876402499787337692720

**Real and complex arguments**

The extended Fibonacci function is an analytic function. The
property `F(z) = F(z-1) + F(z-2)` holds for arbitrary `z`::

    >>> mp.dps = 15
    >>> fib(pi)
    2.1170270579161
    >>> fib(pi-1) + fib(pi-2)
    2.1170270579161
    >>> fib(3+4j)
    (-5248.51130728372 - 14195.962288353j)
    >>> fib(2+4j) + fib(1+4j)
    (-5248.51130728372 - 14195.962288353j)

The Fibonacci function has infinitely many roots on the
negative half-real axis. The first root is at 0, the second is
close to -0.18, and then there are infinitely many roots that
asymptotically approach `-n+1/2`::

    >>> findroot(fib, -0.2)
    -0.183802359692956
    >>> findroot(fib, -2)
    -1.57077646820395
    >>> findroot(fib, -17)
    -16.4999999596115
    >>> findroot(fib, -24)
    -23.5000000000479

**Mathematical relationships**

For large `n`, `F(n+1)/F(n)` approaches the golden ratio::

    >>> mp.dps = 50
    >>> fibonacci(101)/fibonacci(100)
    1.6180339887498948482045868343656381177203127439638
    >>> +phi
    1.6180339887498948482045868343656381177203091798058

The sum of reciprocal Fibonacci numbers converges to an irrational
number for which no closed form expression is known::

    >>> mp.dps = 15
    >>> nsum(lambda n: 1/fib(n), [1, inf])
    3.35988566624318

Amazingly, however, the sum of odd-index reciprocal Fibonacci
numbers can be expressed in terms of a Jacobi theta function::

    >>> nsum(lambda n: 1/fib(2*n+1), [0, inf])
    1.82451515740692
    >>> sqrt(5)*jtheta(2,0,(3-sqrt(5))/2)**2/4
    1.82451515740692

Some related sums can be done in closed form::

    >>> nsum(lambda k: 1/(1+fib(2*k+1)), [0, inf])
    1.11803398874989
    >>> phi - 0.5
    1.11803398874989
    >>> f = lambda k:(-1)**(k+1) / sum(fib(n)**2 for n in range(1,int(k+1)))

"""

altzeta = r"""
Gives the Dirichlet eta function, `\eta(s)`, also known as the
alternating zeta function. This function is defined in analogy
with the Riemann zeta function as providing the sum of the
alternating series

.. math ::

    \eta(s) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^k}{k^s}
        = 1-\frac{1}{2^s}+\frac{1}{3^s}-\frac{1}{4^s}+\ldots

The eta function, unlike the Riemann zeta function, is an entire
function, having a finite value for all complex `s`. The special case
`\eta(1) = \log(2)` gives the value of the alternating harmonic series.

The alternating zeta function may expressed using the Riemann zeta function
as `\eta(s) = (1 - 2^{1-s}) \zeta(s)`. It can also be expressed
in terms of the Hurwitz zeta function, for example using
:func:`~mpmath.dirichlet` (see documentation for that function).

**Examples**

Some special values are::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 15; mp.pretty = True
    >>> altzeta(1)
    0.693147180559945
    >>> altzeta(0)
    0.5
    >>> altzeta(-1)
    0.25
    >>> altzeta(-2)
    0.0

An example of a sum that can be computed more accurately and
efficiently via :func:`~mpmath.altzeta` than via numerical summation::

    >>> sum(-(-1)**n / mpf(n)**2.5 for n in range(1, 100))
    0.867204951503984
    >>> altzeta(2.5)
    0.867199889012184

At positive even integers, the Dirichlet eta function
evaluates to a rational multiple of a power of `\pi`::

    >>> altzeta(2)
    0.822467033424113
    >>> pi**2/12
    0.822467033424113

Like the Riemann zeta function, `\eta(s)`, approaches 1
as `s` approaches positive infinity, although it does
so from below rather than from above::

    >>> altzeta(30)
    0.999999999068682
    >>> altzeta(inf)
    1.0
    >>> mp.pretty = False
    >>> altzeta(1000, rounding='d')
    mpf('0.99999999999999989')
    >>> altzeta(1000, rounding='u')
    mpf('1.0')

psi = r"""
Gives the polygamma function of order `m` of `z`, `\psi^{(m)}(z)`.
Special cases are known as the *digamma function* (`\psi^{(0)}(z)`),
the *trigamma function* (`\psi^{(1)}(z)`), etc. The polygamma
functions are defined as the logarithmic derivatives of the gamma
function:

.. math ::

    \psi^{(m)}(z) = \left(\frac{d}{dz}\right)^{m+1} \log \Gamma(z)

In particular, `\psi^{(0)}(z) = \Gamma'(z)/\Gamma(z)`. In the
present implementation of :func:`~mpmath.psi`, the order `m` must be a
nonnegative integer, while the argument `z` may be an arbitrary
complex number (with exception for the polygamma function's poles
at `z = 0, -1, -2, \ldots`).

**Examples**

For various rational arguments, the polygamma function reduces to
a combination of standard mathematical constants::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 25; mp.pretty = True
    >>> psi(0, 1), -euler
    (-0.5772156649015328606065121, -0.5772156649015328606065121)
    >>> psi(1, '1/4'), pi**2+8*catalan
    (17.19732915450711073927132, 17.19732915450711073927132)
    >>> psi(2, '1/2'), -14*apery
    (-16.82879664423431999559633, -16.82879664423431999559633)

The polygamma functions are derivatives of each other::

    >>> diff(lambda x: psi(3, x), pi), psi(4, pi)
    (-0.1105749312578862734526952, -0.1105749312578862734526952)
    >>> quad(lambda x: psi(4, x), [2, 3]), psi(3,3)-psi(3,2)
    (-0.375, -0.375)

The digamma function diverges logarithmically as `z \to \infty`,
while higher orders tend to zero::

    >>> psi(0,inf), psi(1,inf), psi(2,inf)
    (+inf, 0.0, 0.0)

Evaluation for a complex argument::

    >>> psi(2, -1-2j)
    (0.03902435405364952654838445 + 0.1574325240413029954685366j)

Evaluation is supported for large orders `m` and/or large
arguments `z`::

    >>> psi(3, 10**100)
    2.0e-300
    >>> psi(250, 10**30+10**20*j)
    (-1.293142504363642687204865e-7010 + 3.232856260909107391513108e-7018j)

**Application to infinite series**

Any infinite series where the summand is a rational function of
the index `k` can be evaluated in closed form in terms of polygamma
functions of the roots and poles of the summand::

    >>> a = sqrt(2)
    >>> b = sqrt(3)
    >>> nsum(lambda k: 1/((k+a)**2*(k+b)), [0, inf])
    0.4049668927517857061917531
    >>> (psi(0,a)-psi(0,b)-a*psi(1,a)+b*psi(1,a))/(a-b)**2
    0.4049668927517857061917531

This follows from the series representation (`m > 0`)

.. math ::

    \psi^{(m)}(z) = (-1)^{m+1} m! \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}
        \frac{1}{(z+k)^{m+1}}.

Since the roots of a polynomial may be complex, it is sometimes
necessary to use the complex polygamma function to evaluate
an entirely real-valued sum::

    >>> nsum(lambda k: 1/(k**2-2*k+3), [0, inf])
    1.694361433907061256154665
    >>> nprint(polyroots([1,-2,3]))
    [(1.0 - 1.41421j), (1.0 + 1.41421j)]
    >>> r1 = 1-sqrt(2)*j
    >>> r2 = r1.conjugate()
    >>> (psi(0,-r2)-psi(0,-r1))/(r1-r2)
    (1.694361433907061256154665 + 0.0j)

:func:`~mpmath.harmonic` is evaluated using the digamma function rather
than by summing the harmonic series term by term. It can therefore
be computed quickly for arbitrarily large `n`, and even for
nonintegral arguments::

    1.8727388590273302654363491032336134987519132374152

The harmonic series diverges, but at a glacial pace. It is possible
to calculate the exact number of terms required before the sum
exceeds a given amount, say 100::

    >>> mp.dps = 50
    >>> v = 10**findroot(lambda x: harmonic(10**x) - 100, 10)

    3.09136296657021e+1876752564973863312327

The Bernoulli numbers are related to the Riemann zeta function
at integer arguments::

**Algorithm**

For small `n` (`n < 3000`) :func:`~mpmath.bernoulli` uses a recurrence
formula due to Ramanujan. All results in this range are cached,
so sequential computation of small Bernoulli numbers is
guaranteed to be fast.

For larger `n`, `B_n` is evaluated in terms of the Riemann zeta
function.

stieltjes = r"""
For a nonnegative integer `n`, ``stieltjes(n)`` computes the
`n`-th Stieltjes constant `\gamma_n`, defined as the
`n`-th coefficient in the Laurent series expansion of the
Riemann zeta function around the pole at `s = 1`. That is,
we have:

.. math ::

  \zeta(s) = \frac{1}{s-1} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}
      \frac{(-1)^n}{n!} \gamma_n (s-1)^n

More generally, ``stieltjes(n, a)`` gives the corresponding
coefficient `\gamma_n(a)` for the Hurwitz zeta function
`\zeta(s,a)` (with `\gamma_n = \gamma_n(1)`).

**Examples**

The zeroth Stieltjes constant is just Euler's constant `\gamma`::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 15; mp.pretty = True
    >>> stieltjes(0)
    0.577215664901533

:func:`~mpmath.stieltjes` numerically evaluates the integral in
the following representation due to Ainsworth, Howell and
Coffey [1], [2]:

.. math ::

  \gamma_n(a) = \frac{\log^n a}{2a} - \frac{\log^{n+1}(a)}{n+1} +
      \frac{2}{a} \Re \int_0^{\infty}
      \frac{(x/a-i)\log^n(a-ix)}{(1+x^2/a^2)(e^{2\pi x}-1)} dx.

"""

gammaprod = r"""
Given iterables `a` and `b`, ``gammaprod(a, b)`` computes the
product / quotient of gamma functions:

.. math ::

    \frac{\Gamma(a_0) \Gamma(a_1) \cdots \Gamma(a_p)}
         {\Gamma(b_0) \Gamma(b_1) \cdots \Gamma(b_q)}

Unlike direct calls to :func:`~mpmath.gamma`, :func:`~mpmath.gammaprod` considers
the entire product as a limit and evaluates this limit properly if
any of the numerator or denominator arguments are nonpositive
integers such that poles of the gamma function are encountered.
That is, :func:`~mpmath.gammaprod` evaluates

.. math ::

    \lim_{\epsilon \to 0}
    \frac{\Gamma(a_0+\epsilon) \Gamma(a_1+\epsilon) \cdots
        \Gamma(a_p+\epsilon)}
         {\Gamma(b_0+\epsilon) \Gamma(b_1+\epsilon) \cdots
        \Gamma(b_q+\epsilon)}

In particular:

* If there are equally many poles in the numerator and the
  denominator, the limit is a rational number times the remaining,
  regular part of the product.

* If there are more poles in the numerator, :func:`~mpmath.gammaprod`
  returns ``+inf``.

* If there are more poles in the denominator, :func:`~mpmath.gammaprod`
  returns 0.

**Examples**

The reciprocal gamma function `1/\Gamma(x)` evaluated at `x = 0`::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 15
    >>> gammaprod([], [0])
    0.0

A limit::

    >>> gammaprod([-4], [-3])

    >>> limit(lambda x: gamma(x-1)/gamma(x), -3, direction=1)
    -0.25
    >>> limit(lambda x: gamma(x-1)/gamma(x), -3, direction=-1)
    -0.25

"""

beta = r"""
Computes the beta function,
`B(x,y) = \Gamma(x) \Gamma(y) / \Gamma(x+y)`.
The beta function is also commonly defined by the integral
representation

.. math ::

    B(x,y) = \int_0^1 t^{x-1} (1-t)^{y-1} \, dt

**Examples**

For integer and half-integer arguments where all three gamma
functions are finite, the beta function becomes either rational
number or a rational multiple of `\pi`::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 15; mp.pretty = True
    >>> beta(5, 2)
    0.0333333333333333

    >>> 16*beta(2.5, 1.5)
    3.14159265358979

Where appropriate, :func:`~mpmath.beta` evaluates limits. A pole
of the beta function is taken to result in ``+inf``::

    >>> beta(-0.5, 0.5)
    0.0
    >>> beta(-3, 3)
    -0.333333333333333
    >>> beta(-2, 3)
    +inf
    >>> beta(inf, 1)
    0.0
    >>> beta(inf, 0)
    nan

:func:`~mpmath.beta` supports complex numbers and arbitrary precision
evaluation::

    >>> beta(1, 2+j)

    >>> mp.dps = 25

    0.037890298781212201348153837138927165984170287886464

Various integrals can be computed by means of the
beta function::

betainc = r"""
``betainc(a, b, x1=0, x2=1, regularized=False)`` gives the generalized
incomplete beta function,

.. math ::

    I_{x_1}^{x_2}(a,b) = \int_{x_1}^{x_2} t^{a-1} (1-t)^{b-1} dt.

When `x_1 = 0, x_2 = 1`, this reduces to the ordinary (complete)
beta function `B(a,b)`; see :func:`~mpmath.beta`.

With the keyword argument ``regularized=True``, :func:`~mpmath.betainc`
computes the regularized incomplete beta function
`I_{x_1}^{x_2}(a,b) / B(a,b)`. This is the cumulative distribution of the
beta distribution with parameters `a`, `b`.

.. note :

    Implementations of the incomplete beta function in some other
    software uses a different argument order. For example, Mathematica uses the
    reversed argument order ``Beta[x1,x2,a,b]``. For the equivalent of SciPy's
    three-argument incomplete beta integral (implicitly with `x1 = 0`), use
    ``betainc(a,b,0,x2,regularized=True)``.

**Examples**

Verifying that :func:`~mpmath.betainc` computes the integral in the
definition::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 25; mp.pretty = True
    >>> x,y,a,b = 3, 4, 0, 6
    >>> betainc(x, y, a, b)
    -4010.4

    (0.2241657956955709603655887 + 0.3619619242700451992411724j)

With regularization::

    >>> betainc(1, 2, 0, 0.25, regularized=True)
    0.4375
    >>> betainc(pi, e, 0, 1, regularized=True)   # Complete
    1.0

The beta integral satisfies some simple argument transformation
symmetries::

    >>> mp.dps = 15
    >>> betainc(2,3,4,5), -betainc(2,3,5,4), betainc(3,2,1-5,1-4)
    (56.0833333333333, 56.0833333333333, 56.0833333333333)

The beta integral can often be evaluated analytically. For integer and
rational arguments, the incomplete beta function typically reduces to a
simple algebraic-logarithmic expression::

    >>> mp.dps = 25
    >>> identify(chop(betainc(0, 0, 3, 4)))
    '-(log((9/8)))'
    >>> identify(betainc(2, 3, 4, 5))

Except for polynomial cases, the radius of convergence `R` of the hypergeometric
series is either `R = \infty` (if `p \le q`), `R = 1` (if `p = q+1`), or
`R = 0` (if `p > q+1`).

The analytic continuations of the functions with `p = q+1`, i.e. `\,_2F_1`,
`\,_3F_2`,  `\,_4F_3`, etc, are all implemented and therefore these functions
can be evaluated for `|z| \ge 1`. The shortcuts :func:`~mpmath.hyp2f1`, :func:`~mpmath.hyp3f2`

Please note that, as currently implemented, evaluation of `\,_pF_{p-1}`
with `p \ge 3` may be slow or inaccurate when `|z-1|` is small,
for some parameter values.

Evaluation may be aborted if convergence appears to be too slow.
The optional ``maxterms`` (limiting the number of series terms) and ``maxprec``
(limiting the internal precision) keyword arguments can be used
to control evaluation::

    >>> hyper([1,2,3], [4,5,6], 10000)              # doctest: +IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      ...
    NoConvergence: Hypergeometric series converges too slowly. Try increasing maxterms.
    >>> hyper([1,2,3], [4,5,6], 10000, maxterms=10**6)
    7.622806053177969474396918e+4310

Additional options include ``force_series`` (which forces direct use of
a hypergeometric series even if another evaluation method might work better)
and ``asymp_tol`` which controls the target tolerance for using
asymptotic series.

When `p > q+1`, ``hyper`` computes the (iterated) Borel sum of the divergent
series. For `\,_2F_0` the Borel sum has an analytic solution and can be
computed efficiently (see :func:`~mpmath.hyp2f0`). For higher degrees, the functions
is evaluated first by attempting to sum it directly as an asymptotic
series (this only works for tiny `|z|`), and then by evaluating the Borel
regularized sum using numerical integration. Except for
special parameter combinations, this can be extremely slow.

    >>> hyper([1,1], [], 0.5)          # regularization of 2F0
    (1.340965419580146562086448 + 0.8503366631752726568782447j)
    >>> hyper([1,1,1,1], [1], 0.5)     # regularization of 4F1
    (1.108287213689475145830699 + 0.5327107430640678181200491j)

With the following magnitude of argument, the asymptotic series for `\,_3F_1`
gives only a few digits. Using Borel summation, ``hyper`` can produce
a value with full accuracy::

    >>> mp.dps = 15
    >>> hyper([2,0.5,4], [5.25], '0.08', force_series=True)             # doctest: +IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      ...
    NoConvergence: Hypergeometric series converges too slowly. Try increasing maxterms.
    >>> hyper([2,0.5,4], [5.25], '0.08', asymp_tol=1e-4)
    1.0725535790737
    >>> hyper([2,0.5,4], [5.25], '0.08')
    (1.07269542893559 + 5.54668863216891e-5j)
    >>> hyper([2,0.5,4], [5.25], '-0.08', asymp_tol=1e-4)
    0.946344925484879
    >>> hyper([2,0.5,4], [5.25], '-0.08')
    0.946312503737771
    >>> mp.dps = 25
    >>> hyper([2,0.5,4], [5.25], '-0.08')
    0.9463125037377662296700858

Note that with the positive `z` value, there is a complex part in the
correct result, which falls below the tolerance of the asymptotic series.

By default, a parameter that appears in both ``a_s`` and ``b_s`` will be removed
unless it is a nonpositive integer. This generally speeds up evaluation
by producing a hypergeometric function of lower order.
This optimization can be disabled by passing ``eliminate=False``.

    >>> hyper([1,2,3], [4,5,3], 10000)
    1.268943190440206905892212e+4321
    >>> hyper([1,2,3], [4,5,3], 10000, eliminate=False)             # doctest: +IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      ...
    NoConvergence: Hypergeometric series converges too slowly. Try increasing maxterms.
    >>> hyper([1,2,3], [4,5,3], 10000, eliminate=False, maxterms=10**6)
    1.268943190440206905892212e+4321

If a nonpositive integer `-n` appears in both ``a_s`` and ``b_s``, this parameter
cannot be unambiguously removed since it creates a term 0 / 0.
In this case the hypergeometric series is understood to terminate before
the division by zero occurs. This convention is consistent with Mathematica.
An alternative convention of eliminating the parameters can be toggled
with ``eliminate_all=True``:

    >>> hyper([2,-1], [-1], 3)
    7.0
    >>> hyper([2,-1], [-1], 3, eliminate_all=True)
    0.25
    >>> hyper([2], [], 3)
    0.25

hypercomb = r"""
Computes a weighted combination of hypergeometric functions

.. math ::

    \sum_{r=1}^N \left[ \prod_{k=1}^{l_r} {w_{r,k}}^{c_{r,k}}
    \frac{\prod_{k=1}^{m_r} \Gamma(\alpha_{r,k})}{\prod_{k=1}^{n_r}

    \,_{p_r}F_{q_r}(a_{r,1},\ldots,a_{r,p}; b_{r,1},
    \ldots, b_{r,q}; z_r)\right].

Typically the parameters are linear combinations of a small set of base
parameters; :func:`~mpmath.hypercomb` permits computing a correct value in
the case that some of the `\alpha`, `\beta`, `b` turn out to be
nonpositive integers, or if division by zero occurs for some `w^c`,
assuming that there are opposing singularities that cancel out.
The limit is computed by evaluating the function with the base
parameters perturbed, at a higher working precision.

The first argument should be a function that takes the perturbable
base parameters ``params`` as input and returns `N` tuples
``(w, c, alpha, beta, a, b, z)``, where the coefficients ``w``, ``c``,
gamma factors ``alpha``, ``beta``, and hypergeometric coefficients
``a``, ``b`` each should be lists of numbers, and ``z`` should be a single
number.

with `a=1, z=3`. There is a zero factor, two gamma function poles, and
the 1F1 function is singular; all singularities cancel out to give a finite
value::

hyp2f0 = r"""
Gives the hypergeometric function `\,_2F_0`, defined formally by the
series

.. math ::

    \,_2F_0(a,b;;z) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (a)_n (b)_n \frac{z^n}{n!}.

This series usually does not converge. For small enough `z`, it can be viewed
as an asymptotic series that may be summed directly with an appropriate
truncation. When this is not the case, :func:`~mpmath.hyp2f0` gives a regularized sum,
or equivalently, it uses a representation in terms of the
hypergeometric U function [1]. The series also converges when either `a` or `b`
is a nonpositive integer, as it then terminates into a polynomial
after `-a` or `-b` terms.

**Examples**

Evaluation is supported for arbitrary complex arguments::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 25; mp.pretty = True
    >>> hyp2f0((2,3), 1.25, -100)

Even with real arguments, the regularized value of 2F0 is often complex-valued,
but the imaginary part decreases exponentially as `z \to 0`. In the following
example, the first call uses complex evaluation while the second has a small
enough `z` to evaluate using the direct series and thus the returned value
is strictly real (this should be taken to indicate that the imaginary
part is less than ``eps``)::

    >>> mp.dps = 15
    >>> hyp2f0(1.5, 0.5, 0.05)
    (1.04166637647907 + 8.34584913683906e-8j)
    >>> hyp2f0(1.5, 0.5, 0.0005)
    1.00037535207621

The imaginary part can be retrieved by increasing the working precision::

    >>> mp.dps = 80
    >>> nprint(hyp2f0(1.5, 0.5, 0.009).imag)
    1.23828e-46

In the polynomial case (the series terminating), 2F0 can evaluate exactly::

    >>> mp.dps = 15
    >>> hyp2f0(-6,-6,2)
    291793.0
    >>> identify(hyp2f0(-2,1,0.25))
    '(5/8)'

The coefficients of the polynomials can be recovered using Taylor expansion::

    >>> nprint(taylor(lambda x: hyp2f0(-3,0.5,x), 0, 10))
    [1.0, -1.5, 2.25, -1.875, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]

gammainc = r"""
``gammainc(z, a=0, b=inf)`` computes the (generalized) incomplete
gamma function with integration limits `[a, b]`:

.. math ::

  \Gamma(z,a,b) = \int_a^b t^{z-1} e^{-t} \, dt

The generalized incomplete gamma function reduces to the
following special cases when one or both endpoints are fixed:

* `\Gamma(z,0,\infty)` is the standard ("complete")
  gamma function, `\Gamma(z)` (available directly
  as the mpmath function :func:`~mpmath.gamma`)
* `\Gamma(z,a,\infty)` is the "upper" incomplete gamma
  function, `\Gamma(z,a)`
* `\Gamma(z,0,b)` is the "lower" incomplete gamma
  function, `\gamma(z,b)`.

Of course, we have
`\Gamma(z,0,x) + \Gamma(z,x,\infty) = \Gamma(z)`
for all `z` and `x`.

Note however that some authors reverse the order of the
arguments when defining the lower and upper incomplete
gamma function, so one should be careful to get the correct
definition.

If also given the keyword argument ``regularized=True``,
:func:`~mpmath.gammainc` computes the "regularized" incomplete gamma
function

.. math ::

  P(z,a,b) = \frac{\Gamma(z,a,b)}{\Gamma(z)}.

**Examples**

We can compare with numerical quadrature to verify that
:func:`~mpmath.gammainc` computes the integral in the definition::

Evaluation of a generalized incomplete gamma function automatically chooses
the representation that gives a more accurate result, depending on which
parameter is larger::

    >>> gammainc(10000000, 3) - gammainc(10000000, 2)   # Bad

    4.078258353474186729184421e-43429441

The incomplete gamma functions satisfy simple recurrence
relations::

    >>> gammainc(-3, 0, 5)
    +inf

If `z` is an integer, the recurrence reduces the incomplete gamma
function to `P(a) \exp(-a) + Q(b) \exp(-b)` where `P` and
`Q` are polynomials::

    >>> gammainc(1, 2); exp(-2)

"""

ei = r"""
Computes the exponential integral or Ei-function, `\mathrm{Ei}(x)`.
The exponential integral is defined as

.. math ::

  \mathrm{Ei}(x) = \int_{-\infty\,}^x \frac{e^t}{t} \, dt.

When the integration range includes `t = 0`, the exponential
integral is interpreted as providing the Cauchy principal value.

For real `x`, the Ei-function behaves roughly like
`\mathrm{Ei}(x) \approx \exp(x) + \log(|x|)`.

The Ei-function is related to the more general family of exponential
integral functions denoted by `E_n`, which are available as :func:`~mpmath.expint`.

**Basic examples**

Some basic values and limits are::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 15; mp.pretty = True
    >>> ei(0)
    -inf
    >>> ei(1)
    1.89511781635594
    >>> ei(inf)
    +inf
    >>> ei(-inf)
    0.0

For `x < 0`, the defining integral can be evaluated
numerically as a reference::

    >>> ei(-4)
    -0.00377935240984891
    >>> quad(lambda t: exp(t)/t, [-inf, -4])
    -0.00377935240984891

:func:`~mpmath.ei` supports complex arguments and arbitrary
precision evaluation::

    >>> mp.dps = 50
    >>> ei(pi)
    10.928374389331410348638445906907535171566338835056
    >>> mp.dps = 25
    >>> ei(3+4j)
    (-4.154091651642689822535359 + 4.294418620024357476985535j)

**Related functions**

The exponential integral is closely related to the logarithmic
integral. See :func:`~mpmath.li` for additional information.

The exponential integral is related to the hyperbolic
and trigonometric integrals (see :func:`~mpmath.chi`, :func:`~mpmath.shi`,
:func:`~mpmath.ci`, :func:`~mpmath.si`) similarly to how the ordinary
exponential function is related to the hyperbolic and
trigonometric functions::

    >>> mp.dps = 15
    >>> ei(3)
    9.93383257062542
    >>> chi(3) + shi(3)
    9.93383257062542
    >>> chop(ci(3j) - j*si(3j) - pi*j/2)
    9.93383257062542

Beware that logarithmic corrections, as in the last example
above, are required to obtain the correct branch in general.
For details, see [1].

The exponential integral is also a special case of the
hypergeometric function `\,_2F_2`::

    >>> z = 0.6
    >>> z*hyper([1,1],[2,2],z) + (ln(z)-ln(1/z))/2 + euler
    0.769881289937359
    >>> ei(z)
    0.769881289937359

li = r"""
Computes the logarithmic integral or li-function
`\mathrm{li}(x)`, defined by

.. math ::

    \mathrm{li}(x) = \int_0^x \frac{1}{\log t} \, dt

The logarithmic integral has a singularity at `x = 1`.

Alternatively, ``li(x, offset=True)`` computes the offset
logarithmic integral (used in number theory)

.. math ::

    \mathrm{Li}(x) = \int_2^x \frac{1}{\log t} \, dt.

These two functions are related via the simple identity
`\mathrm{Li}(x) = \mathrm{li}(x) - \mathrm{li}(2)`.

The logarithmic integral should also not be confused with
the polylogarithm (also denoted by Li), which is implemented
as :func:`~mpmath.polylog`.

**Examples**

Some basic values and limits::

    >>> li(10, offset=True)
    5.12043572466980515267839286347

The logarithmic integral can be evaluated for arbitrary
complex arguments::

    >>> mp.dps = 20
    >>> li(3+4j)
    (3.1343755504645775265 + 2.6769247817778742392j)

The logarithmic integral is related to the exponential integral::

    >>> ei(log(3))
    2.1635885946671919729
    >>> li(3)
    2.1635885946671919729

The logarithmic integral grows like `O(x/\log(x))`::

    >>> mp.dps = 15
    >>> x = 10**100
    >>> x/log(x)
    4.34294481903252e+97
    >>> li(x)
    4.3619719871407e+97

The prime number theorem states that the number of primes less
than `x` is asymptotic to `\mathrm{Li}(x)` (equivalently
`\mathrm{li}(x)`). For example, it is known that there are
exactly 1,925,320,391,606,803,968,923 prime numbers less than
`10^{23}` [1]. The logarithmic integral provides a very
accurate estimate::

    >>> li(10**23, offset=True)
    1.92532039161405e+21

A definite integral is::

    >>> quad(li, [0, 1])
    -0.693147180559945
    >>> -ln(2)
    -0.693147180559945

Computes the Airy function `\operatorname{Ai}(z)`, which is
the solution of the Airy differential equation `f''(z) - z f(z) = 0`
with initial conditions

.. math ::

    \operatorname{Ai}(0) =
        \frac{1}{3^{2/3}\Gamma\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)}

    \operatorname{Ai}'(0) =
        -\frac{1}{3^{1/3}\Gamma\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)}.

Other common ways of defining the Ai-function include
integrals such as

.. math ::

    \operatorname{Ai}(x) = \frac{1}{\pi}
        \int_0^{\infty} \cos\left(\frac{1}{3}t^3+xt\right) dt
        \qquad x \in \mathbb{R}

    \operatorname{Ai}(z) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\pi}
        \int_0^{\infty}
        \exp\left(-\frac{t^3}{3}-\frac{z^3}{3t^3}\right) dt.

The Ai-function is an entire function with a turning point,
behaving roughly like a slowly decaying sine wave for `z < 0` and
like a rapidly decreasing exponential for `z > 0`.
A second solution of the Airy differential equation
is given by `\operatorname{Bi}(z)` (see :func:`~mpmath.airybi`).

Optionally, with *derivative=alpha*, :func:`airyai` can compute the
`\alpha`-th order fractional derivative with respect to `z`.
For `\alpha = n = 1,2,3,\ldots` this gives the derivative
`\operatorname{Ai}^{(n)}(z)`, and for `\alpha = -n = -1,-2,-3,\ldots`
this gives the `n`-fold iterated integral

.. math ::

    f_0(z) = \operatorname{Ai}(z)

    f_n(z) = \int_0^z f_{n-1}(t) dt.

The Ai-function has infinitely many zeros, all located along the
negative half of the real axis. They can be computed with
:func:`~mpmath.airyaizero`.

airybi = r"""
Computes the Airy function `\operatorname{Bi}(z)`, which is
the solution of the Airy differential equation `f''(z) - z f(z) = 0`
with initial conditions

.. math ::

    \operatorname{Bi}(0) =
        \frac{1}{3^{1/6}\Gamma\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)}

    \operatorname{Bi}'(0) =
        \frac{3^{1/6}}{\Gamma\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)}.

Like the Ai-function (see :func:`~mpmath.airyai`), the Bi-function
is oscillatory for `z < 0`, but it grows rather than decreases
for `z > 0`.

Optionally, as for :func:`~mpmath.airyai`, derivatives, integrals
and fractional derivatives can be computed with the *derivative*
parameter.

The Bi-function has infinitely many zeros along the negative
half-axis, as well as complex zeros, which can all be computed
with :func:`~mpmath.airybizero`.

agm = r"""
``agm(a, b)`` computes the arithmetic-geometric mean of `a` and
`b`, defined as the limit of the following iteration:

.. math ::

    a_0 = a

    b_0 = b

    a_{n+1} = \frac{a_n+b_n}{2}

    b_{n+1} = \sqrt{a_n b_n}

This function can be called with a single argument, computing
`\mathrm{agm}(a,1) = \mathrm{agm}(1,a)`.

**Examples**

It is a well-known theorem that the geometric mean of
two distinct positive numbers is less than the arithmetic
mean. It follows that the arithmetic-geometric mean lies
between the two means::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 15; mp.pretty = True
    >>> a = mpf(3)
    >>> b = mpf(4)
    >>> sqrt(a*b)
    3.46410161513775
    >>> agm(a,b)
    3.48202767635957
    >>> (a+b)/2
    3.5

The arithmetic-geometric mean is scale-invariant::

    >>> agm(10*e, 10*pi)
    29.261085515723
    >>> 10*agm(e, pi)
    29.261085515723

As an order-of-magnitude estimate, `\mathrm{agm}(1,x) \approx x`
for large `x`::

    >>> agm(10**10)
    643448704.760133
    >>> agm(10**50)
    1.34814309345871e+48

For tiny `x`, `\mathrm{agm}(1,x) \approx -\pi/(2 \log(x/4))`::

    >>> agm('0.01')
    0.262166887202249
    >>> -pi/2/log('0.0025')
    0.262172347753122

The arithmetic-geometric mean can also be computed for complex
numbers::

    >>> agm(3, 2+j)
    (2.51055133276184 + 0.547394054060638j)

The AGM iteration converges very quickly (each step doubles
the number of correct digits), so :func:`~mpmath.agm` supports efficient
high-precision evaluation::

    >>> mp.dps = 10000
    >>> a = agm(1,2)
    >>> str(a)[-10:]
    '1679581912'

**Mathematical relations**

The arithmetic-geometric mean may be used to evaluate the
following two parametric definite integrals:

.. math ::

  I_1 = \int_0^{\infty}
    \frac{1}{\sqrt{(x^2+a^2)(x^2+b^2)}} \,dx

  I_2 = \int_0^{\pi/2}
    \frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2 \cos^2(x) + b^2 \sin^2(x)}} \,dx

We have::

    >>> mp.dps = 15
    >>> a = 3
    >>> b = 4
    >>> f1 = lambda x: ((x**2+a**2)*(x**2+b**2))**-0.5
    >>> f2 = lambda x: ((a*cos(x))**2 + (b*sin(x))**2)**-0.5
    >>> quad(f1, [0, inf])
    0.451115405388492
    >>> quad(f2, [0, pi/2])
    0.451115405388492
    >>> pi/(2*agm(a,b))
    0.451115405388492

A formula for `\Gamma(1/4)`::

The branch cut chosen for complex `a` and `b` is somewhat
arbitrary.

jacobi = r"""
``jacobi(n, a, b, x)`` evaluates the Jacobi polynomial
`P_n^{(a,b)}(x)`. The Jacobi polynomials are a special
case of the hypergeometric function `\,_2F_1` given by:

.. math ::

    P_n^{(a,b)}(x) = {n+a \choose n}
      \,_2F_1\left(-n,1+a+b+n,a+1,\frac{1-x}{2}\right).

Note that this definition generalizes to nonintegral values
of `n`. When `n` is an integer, the hypergeometric series
terminates after a finite number of terms, giving
a polynomial in `x`.

**Evaluation of Jacobi polynomials**

A special evaluation is `P_n^{(a,b)}(1) = {n+a \choose n}`::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 15; mp.pretty = True
    >>> jacobi(4, 0.5, 0.25, 1)
    2.4609375
    >>> binomial(4+0.5, 4)
    2.4609375

A Jacobi polynomial of degree `n` is equal to its
Taylor polynomial of degree `n`. The explicit
coefficients of Jacobi polynomials can therefore
be recovered easily using :func:`~mpmath.taylor`::

    >>> for n in range(5):
    ...     nprint(taylor(lambda x: jacobi(n,1,2,x), 0, n))

    [0.5, -3.5, -3.5, 10.5]
    [0.625, 2.5, -11.25, -7.5, 20.625]

For nonintegral `n`, the Jacobi "polynomial" is no longer
a polynomial::

    >>> nprint(taylor(lambda x: jacobi(0.5,1,2,x), 0, 4))
    [0.309983, 1.84119, -1.26933, 1.26699, -1.34808]

**Orthogonality**

The Jacobi polynomials are orthogonal on the interval
`[-1, 1]` with respect to the weight function
`w(x) = (1-x)^a (1+x)^b`. That is,
`w(x) P_n^{(a,b)}(x) P_m^{(a,b)}(x)` integrates to
zero if `m \ne n` and to a nonzero number if `m = n`.

The orthogonality is easy to verify using numerical
quadrature::

    >>> P = jacobi
    >>> f = lambda x: (1-x)**a * (1+x)**b * P(m,a,b,x) * P(n,a,b,x)
    >>> a = 2
    >>> b = 3
    >>> m, n = 3, 4
    >>> chop(quad(f, [-1, 1]), 1)
    0.0
    >>> m, n = 4, 4
    >>> quad(f, [-1, 1])

**Differential equation**

The Jacobi polynomials are solutions of the differential
equation

.. math ::

  (1-x^2) y'' + (b-a-(a+b+2)x) y' + n (n+a+b+1) y = 0.

We can verify that :func:`~mpmath.jacobi` approximately satisfies
this equation::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 15
    >>> a = 2.5
    >>> b = 4
    >>> n = 3
    >>> y = lambda x: jacobi(n,a,b,x)
    >>> x = pi
    >>> A0 = n*(n+a+b+1)*y(x)
    >>> A1 = (b-a-(a+b+2)*x)*diff(y,x)
    >>> A2 = (1-x**2)*diff(y,x,2)
    >>> nprint(A2 + A1 + A0, 1)
    4.0e-12

it could be at 15-digit working precision, since the terms
are large::

    (1.94952805264875 + 2.1071073099422j)

**Orthogonality**

The Legendre polynomials are orthogonal on `[-1, 1]` with respect
to the trivial weight `w(x) = 1`. That is, `P_m(x) P_n(x)`
integrates to zero if `m \ne n` and to `2/(2n+1)` if `m = n`::

    >>> m, n = 3, 4
    >>> quad(lambda x: legendre(m,x)*legendre(n,x), [-1, 1])
    0.0
    >>> m, n = 4, 4
    >>> quad(lambda x: legendre(m,x)*legendre(n,x), [-1, 1])
    0.222222222222222

**Differential equation**

The Legendre polynomials satisfy the differential equation

.. math ::

    ((1-x^2) y')' + n(n+1) y' = 0.

We can verify this numerically::

    >>> n = 3.6
    >>> x = 0.73
    >>> P = legendre
    >>> A = diff(lambda t: (1-t**2)*diff(lambda u: P(n,u), t), x)
    >>> B = n*(n+1)*P(n,x)
    >>> nprint(A+B,1)

legenq = r"""
Calculates the (associated) Legendre function of the second kind of
degree *n* and order *m*, `Q_n^m(z)`. Taking `m = 0` gives the ordinary
Legendre function of the second kind, `Q_n(z)`. The parameters may be
complex numbers.

The Legendre functions of the second kind give a second set of
solutions to the (associated) Legendre differential equation.
(See :func:`~mpmath.legenp`.)
Unlike the Legendre functions of the first kind, they are not
polynomials of `z` for integer `n`, `m` but rational or logarithmic
functions with poles at `z = \pm 1`.

There are various ways to define Legendre functions of
the second kind, giving rise to different complex structure.
A version can be selected using the *type* keyword argument.
The *type=2* and *type=3* functions are given respectively by

.. math ::

    Q_n^m(z) = \frac{\pi}{2 \sin(\pi m)}
        \left( \cos(\pi m) P_n^m(z) -
        \frac{\Gamma(1+m+n)}{\Gamma(1-m+n)} P_n^{-m}(z)\right)

    \hat{Q}_n^m(z) = \frac{\pi}{2 \sin(\pi m)} e^{\pi i m}
        \left( \hat{P}_n^m(z) -
        \frac{\Gamma(1+m+n)}{\Gamma(1-m+n)} \hat{P}_n^{-m}(z)\right)

where `P` and `\hat{P}` are the *type=2* and *type=3* Legendre functions
of the first kind. The formulas above should be understood as limits
when `m` is an integer.

These functions correspond to ``LegendreQ[n,m,2,z]`` (or ``LegendreQ[n,m,z]``)
and ``LegendreQ[n,m,3,z]`` in Mathematica. The *type=3* function
is essentially the same as the function defined in
Abramowitz & Stegun (eq. 8.1.3) but with `(z+1)^{m/2}(z-1)^{m/2}` instead
of `(z^2-1)^{m/2}`, giving slightly different branches.

roots asymptotically approaches `2 \pi`. Bessel functions of
the first kind have the following normalization::

    1.0
    >>> quadosc(j1, [0, inf], period=2*pi)
    1.0

lambertw = r"""
The Lambert W function `W(z)` is defined as the inverse function
of `w \exp(w)`. In other words, the value of `W(z)` is such that
`z = W(z) \exp(W(z))` for any complex number `z`.

The Lambert W function is a multivalued function with infinitely
many branches `W_k(z)`, indexed by `k \in \mathbb{Z}`. Each branch
gives a different solution `w` of the equation `z = w \exp(w)`.
All branches are supported by :func:`~mpmath.lambertw`:

* ``lambertw(z)`` gives the principal solution (branch 0)

* ``lambertw(z, k)`` gives the solution on branch `k`

The Lambert W function has two partially real branches: the
principal branch (`k = 0`) is real for real `z > -1/e`, and the
`k = -1` branch is real for `-1/e < z < 0`. All branches except
`k = 0` have a logarithmic singularity at `z = 0`.

The definition, implementation and choice of branches
is based on [Corless]_.

**Plots**

.. literalinclude :: /plots/lambertw.py
.. image :: /plots/lambertw.png
.. literalinclude :: /plots/lambertw_c.py
.. image :: /plots/lambertw_c.png

**Basic examples**

The Lambert W function is the inverse of `w \exp(w)`::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 25; mp.pretty = True
    >>> w = lambertw(1)
    >>> w
    0.5671432904097838729999687
    >>> w*exp(w)
    1.0

Any branch gives a valid inverse::

    >>> w = lambertw(1, k=3)
    >>> w
    (-2.853581755409037807206819 + 17.11353553941214591260783j)
    >>> w = lambertw(1, k=25)
    >>> w
    (-5.047020464221569709378686 + 155.4763860949415867162066j)
    >>> chop(w*exp(w))
    1.0

**Applications to equation-solving**

The Lambert W function may be used to solve various kinds of
equations, such as finding the value of the infinite power
tower `z^{z^{z^{\ldots}}}`::

    >>> def tower(z, n):
    ...     if n == 0:
    ...         return z
    ...     return z ** tower(z, n-1)
    ...
    >>> tower(mpf(0.5), 100)
    0.6411857445049859844862005
    >>> -lambertw(-log(0.5))/log(0.5)
    0.6411857445049859844862005

**Properties**

The Lambert W function grows roughly like the natural logarithm
for large arguments::

    >>> lambertw(1000); log(1000)
    5.249602852401596227126056
    6.907755278982137052053974
    >>> lambertw(10**100); log(10**100)
    224.8431064451185015393731
    230.2585092994045684017991

The principal branch of the Lambert W function has a rational
Taylor series expansion around `z = 0`::

    >>> nprint(taylor(lambertw, 0, 6), 10)
    [0.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.5, -2.666666667, 5.208333333, -10.8]

Some special values and limits are::

    >>> lambertw(0)
    0.0
    >>> lambertw(1)
    0.5671432904097838729999687
    >>> lambertw(e)
    1.0
    >>> lambertw(inf)
    +inf
    >>> lambertw(0, k=-1)
    -inf
    >>> lambertw(0, k=3)
    -inf
    >>> lambertw(inf, k=2)
    (+inf + 12.56637061435917295385057j)
    >>> lambertw(inf, k=3)
    (+inf + 18.84955592153875943077586j)
    >>> lambertw(-inf, k=3)
    (+inf + 21.9911485751285526692385j)

The `k = 0` and `k = -1` branches join at `z = -1/e` where
`W(z) = -1` for both branches. Since `-1/e` can only be represented
approximately with binary floating-point numbers, evaluating the
Lambert W function at this point only gives `-1` approximately::

    >>> lambertw(-1/e, 0)
    -0.9999999999998371330228251
    >>> lambertw(-1/e, -1)
    -1.000000000000162866977175

If `-1/e` happens to round in the negative direction, there might be
a small imaginary part::

    >>> mp.dps = 15
    >>> lambertw(-1/e)
    (-1.0 + 8.22007971483662e-9j)
    >>> lambertw(-1/e+eps)
    -0.999999966242188

barnesg = r"""
Evaluates the Barnes G-function, which generalizes the
superfactorial (:func:`~mpmath.superfac`) and by extension also the
hyperfactorial (:func:`~mpmath.hyperfac`) to the complex numbers
in an analogous way to how the gamma function generalizes
the ordinary factorial.

The Barnes G-function may be defined in terms of a Weierstrass
product:

.. math ::

    G(z+1) = (2\pi)^{z/2} e^{-[z(z+1)+\gamma z^2]/2}
    \prod_{n=1}^\infty
    \left[\left(1+\frac{z}{n}\right)^ne^{-z+z^2/(2n)}\right]

For positive integers `n`, we have have relation to superfactorials
`G(n) = \mathrm{sf}(n-2) = 0! \cdot 1! \cdots (n-2)!`.

**Examples**

Some elementary values and limits of the Barnes G-function::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 15; mp.pretty = True
    >>> barnesg(1), barnesg(2), barnesg(3)
    (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
    >>> barnesg(4)
    2.0

    >>> barnesg(inf)
    +inf
    >>> barnesg(0), barnesg(-1), barnesg(-2)
    (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)

Closed-form values are known for some rational arguments::

    >>> barnesg('1/2')
    0.603244281209446
    >>> sqrt(exp(0.25+log(2)/12)/sqrt(pi)/glaisher**3)

    >>> nthroot(exp('3/8')/exp(catalan/pi)/
    ...      gamma(0.25)**3/sqrt(glaisher)**9, 4)
    0.29375596533861

The Barnes G-function satisfies the functional equation
`G(z+1) = \Gamma(z) G(z)`::

    >>> z = pi
    >>> barnesg(z+1)
    2.39292119327948
    >>> gamma(z)*barnesg(z)
    2.39292119327948

The asymptotic growth rate of the Barnes G-function is related to
the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant::

    >>> limit(lambda n: barnesg(n+1)/(n**(n**2/2-mpf(1)/12)*
    ...     (2*pi)**(n/2)*exp(-3*n**2/4)), inf)
    0.847536694177301
    >>> exp('1/12')/glaisher
    0.847536694177301

The Barnes G-function can be differentiated in closed form::

    >>> z = 3
    >>> diff(barnesg, z)
    0.264507203401607
    >>> barnesg(z)*((z-1)*psi(0,z)-z+(log(2*pi)+1)/2)
    0.264507203401607

precision::

The hyperfactorial satisfies the recurrence formula `H(z) = z^z H(z-1)`.
It can be defined more generally in terms of the Barnes G-function (see
:func:`~mpmath.barnesg`) and the gamma function by the formula

.. math ::

loggamma = r"""
Computes the principal branch of the log-gamma function,
`\ln \Gamma(z)`. Unlike `\ln(\Gamma(z))`, which has infinitely many
complex branch cuts, the principal log-gamma function only has a single
branch cut along the negative half-axis. The principal branch
continuously matches the asymptotic Stirling expansion

.. math ::

    \ln \Gamma(z) \sim \frac{\ln(2 \pi)}{2} +
        \left(z-\frac{1}{2}\right) \ln(z) - z + O(z^{-1}).

The real parts of both functions agree, but their imaginary
parts generally differ by `2 n \pi` for some `n \in \mathbb{Z}`.
They coincide for `z \in \mathbb{R}, z > 0`.

Computationally, it is advantageous to use :func:`~mpmath.loggamma`
instead of :func:`~mpmath.gamma` for extremely large arguments.

"""

siegelz = r"""
Computes the Z-function, also known as the Riemann-Siegel Z function,

.. math ::

    Z(t) = e^{i \theta(t)} \zeta(1/2+it)

where `\zeta(s)` is the Riemann zeta function (:func:`~mpmath.zeta`)
and where `\theta(t)` denotes the Riemann-Siegel theta function
(see :func:`~mpmath.siegeltheta`).

Evaluation is supported for real and complex arguments::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 25; mp.pretty = True
    >>> siegelz(1)
    -0.7363054628673177346778998

    (-0.1852895764366314976003936 - 0.2773099198055652246992479j)

The first four derivatives are supported, using the
optional *derivative* keyword argument::

    >>> siegelz(1234567, derivative=3)
    56.89689348495089294249178
    >>> diff(siegelz, 1234567, n=3)
    56.89689348495089294249178


The Z-function has a Maclaurin expansion::

    >>> nprint(chop(taylor(siegelz, 0, 4)))
    [-1.46035, 0.0, 2.73588, 0.0, -8.39357]

The Z-function `Z(t)` is equal to `\pm |\zeta(s)|` on the
critical line `s = 1/2+it` (i.e. for real arguments `t`
to `Z`).  Its zeros coincide with those of the Riemann zeta
function::

    >>> findroot(siegelz, 14)
    14.13472514173469379045725
    >>> findroot(siegelz, 20)
    21.02203963877155499262848
    >>> findroot(zeta, 0.5+14j)
    (0.5 + 14.13472514173469379045725j)
    >>> findroot(zeta, 0.5+20j)
    (0.5 + 21.02203963877155499262848j)

Since the Z-function is real-valued on the critical line
(and unlike `|\zeta(s)|` analytic), it is useful for
investigating the zeros of the Riemann zeta function.
For example, one can use a root-finding algorithm based
on sign changes::

    >>> findroot(siegelz, [100, 200], solver='bisect')
    176.4414342977104188888926

To locate roots, Gram points `g_n` which can be computed
by :func:`~mpmath.grampoint` are useful. If `(-1)^n Z(g_n)` is
positive for two consecutive `n`, then `Z(t)` must have
a zero between those points::

    >>> g10 = grampoint(10)
    >>> g11 = grampoint(11)
    >>> (-1)**10 * siegelz(g10) > 0
    True
    >>> (-1)**11 * siegelz(g11) > 0
    True
    >>> findroot(siegelz, [g10, g11], solver='bisect')

"""

riemannr = r"""
Evaluates the Riemann R function, a smooth approximation of the
prime counting function `\pi(x)` (see :func:`~mpmath.primepi`). The Riemann
R function gives a fast numerical approximation useful e.g. to
roughly estimate the number of primes in a given interval.

The Riemann R function is computed using the rapidly convergent Gram
series,

.. math ::

    R(x) = 1 + \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}
        \frac{\log^k x}{k k! \zeta(k+1)}.

From the Gram series, one sees that the Riemann R function is a
well-defined analytic function (except for a branch cut along
the negative real half-axis); it can be evaluated for arbitrary
real or complex arguments.

The Riemann R function gives a very accurate approximation
of the prime counting function. For example, it is wrong by at
most 2 for `x < 1000`, and for `x = 10^9` differs from the exact
value of `\pi(x)` by 79, or less than two parts in a million.
It is about 10 times more accurate than the logarithmic integral
estimate (see :func:`~mpmath.li`), which however is even faster to evaluate.
It is orders of magnitude more accurate than the extremely
fast `x/\log x` estimate.

**Examples**

For small arguments, the Riemann R function almost exactly
gives the prime counting function if rounded to the nearest
integer::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 15; mp.pretty = True
    >>> primepi(50), riemannr(50)
    (15, 14.9757023241462)
    >>> max(abs(primepi(n)-int(round(riemannr(n)))) for n in range(100))
    1
    >>> max(abs(primepi(n)-int(round(riemannr(n)))) for n in range(300))
    2

The Riemann R function can be evaluated for arguments far too large
for exact determination of `\pi(x)` to be computationally
feasible with any presently known algorithm::

    >>> riemannr(10**30)
    1.46923988977204e+28
    >>> riemannr(10**100)
    4.3619719871407e+97

    >>> primepi2(1000)
    [168.0, 168.0]

Loose intervals are generated for moderately large `x`:

    >>> primepi2(10000), primepi(10000)
    ([1209.0, 1283.0], 1229)
    >>> primepi2(50000), primepi(50000)
    ([5070.0, 5263.0], 5133)

As `x` increases, the absolute error gets worse while the relative
error improves. The exact value of `\pi(10^{23})` is
1925320391606803968923, and :func:`~mpmath.primepi2` gives 9 significant
digits::

    >>> p = primepi2(10**23)
    >>> p
    [1.9253203909477020467e+21, 1.925320392280406229e+21]
    >>> mpf(p.delta) / mpf(p.a)
    6.9219865355293e-10

A more precise, nonrigorous estimate for `\pi(x)` can be
obtained using the Riemann R function (:func:`~mpmath.riemannr`).
For large enough `x`, the value returned by :func:`~mpmath.primepi2`
essentially amounts to a small perturbation of the value returned by
:func:`~mpmath.riemannr`::

    >>> primepi2(10**100)
    [4.3619719871407024816e+97, 4.3619719871407032404e+97]
    >>> riemannr(10**100)
    4.3619719871407e+97
"""

primezeta = r"""
Computes the prime zeta function, which is defined
in analogy with the Riemann zeta function (:func:`~mpmath.zeta`)
as

.. math ::

    P(s) = \sum_p \frac{1}{p^s}

where the sum is taken over all prime numbers `p`. Although
this sum only converges for `\mathrm{Re}(s) > 1`, the
function is defined by analytic continuation in the
half-plane `\mathrm{Re}(s) > 0`.

**Examples**

Arbitrary-precision evaluation for real and complex arguments is
supported::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 30; mp.pretty = True
    >>> primezeta(2)
    0.452247420041065498506543364832
    >>> primezeta(pi)
    0.15483752698840284272036497397

    (-0.12085382601645763295 - 0.013370403397787023602j)

The prime zeta function has a logarithmic pole at `s = 1`,
with residue equal to the difference of the Mertens and
Euler constants::

    >>> primezeta(1)
    +inf
    >>> extradps(25)(lambda x: primezeta(1+x)+log(x))(+eps)
    -0.31571845205389007685
    >>> mertens-euler
    -0.31571845205389007685

The analytic continuation to `0 < \mathrm{Re}(s) \le 1`
is implemented. In this strip the function exhibits
very complex behavior; on the unit interval, it has poles at
`1/n` for every squarefree integer `n`::

    >>> primezeta(0.5)         # Pole at s = 1/2
    (-inf + 3.1415926535897932385j)
    >>> primezeta(0.25)
    (-1.0416106801757269036 + 0.52359877559829887308j)
    >>> primezeta(0.5+10j)
    (0.54892423556409790529 + 0.45626803423487934264j)

Although evaluation works in principle for any `\mathrm{Re}(s) > 0`,
it should be noted that the evaluation time increases exponentially
as `s` approaches the imaginary axis.

For large `\mathrm{Re}(s)`, `P(s)` is asymptotic to `2^{-s}`::

    >>> primezeta(inf)
    0.0
    >>> primezeta(10), mpf(2)**-10
    (0.00099360357443698021786, 0.0009765625)
    >>> primezeta(1000)
    9.3326361850321887899e-302
    >>> primezeta(1000+1000j)
    (-3.8565440833654995949e-302 - 8.4985390447553234305e-302j)

Computes the polylogarithm, defined by the sum

.. math ::

    \mathrm{Li}_s(z) = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{z^k}{k^s}.

This series is convergent only for `|z| < 1`, so elsewhere
the analytic continuation is implied.

The polylogarithm should not be confused with the logarithmic
integral (also denoted by Li or li), which is implemented
as :func:`~mpmath.li`.

**Examples**

The polylogarithm satisfies a huge number of functional identities.
A sample of polylogarithm evaluations is shown below::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 15; mp.pretty = True
    >>> polylog(1,0.5), log(2)

:func:`~mpmath.polylog` can evaluate the analytic continuation of the
polylogarithm when `s` is an integer::

    >>> polylog(2, 10)

Some more examples, with arguments on the unit circle (note that
the series definition cannot be used for computation here)::

    (-0.534247512515375 + 0.765587078525921j)

Polylogarithms of different order are related by integration
and differentiation::

    >>> s, z = 3, 0.5
    >>> polylog(s+1, z)
    0.517479061673899
    >>> quad(lambda t: polylog(s,t)/t, [0, z])

    >>> z*diff(lambda t: polylog(s+2,t), z)
    0.517479061673899

Taylor series expansions around `z = 0` are::

    >>> for n in range(-3, 4):
    ...     nprint(taylor(lambda x: polylog(n,x), 0, 5))
    ...
    [0.0, 1.0, 8.0, 27.0, 64.0, 125.0]

    [0.0, 1.0, 0.125, 0.037037, 0.015625, 0.008]

The series defining the polylogarithm is simultaneously
a Taylor series and an L-series. For certain values of `z`, the
polylogarithm reduces to a pure zeta function::

    >>> polylog(pi, 1), zeta(pi)
    (1.17624173838258, 1.17624173838258)
    >>> polylog(pi, -1), -altzeta(pi)
    (-0.909670702980385, -0.909670702980385)

Evaluation for arbitrary, nonintegral `s` is supported
for `z` within the unit circle:

    >>> polylog(3+4j, 0.25)
    (0.24258605789446 - 0.00222938275488344j)
    >>> nsum(lambda k: 0.25**k / k**(3+4j), [1,inf])
    (0.24258605789446 - 0.00222938275488344j)

It is also supported outside of the unit circle::

    >>> polylog(1+j, 20+40j)
    (-7.1421172179728 - 3.92726697721369j)
    >>> polylog(1+j, 200+400j)

bell = r"""
For `n` a nonnegative integer, ``bell(n,x)`` evaluates the Bell
polynomial `B_n(x)`, the first few of which are

.. math ::

    B_0(x) = 1

    B_1(x) = x

    B_2(x) = x^2+x

    B_3(x) = x^3+3x^2+x

If `x = 1` or :func:`~mpmath.bell` is called with only one argument, it
gives the `n`-th Bell number `B_n`, which is the number of
partitions of a set with `n` elements. By setting the precision to
at least `\log_{10} B_n` digits, :func:`~mpmath.bell` provides fast
calculation of exact Bell numbers.

In general, :func:`~mpmath.bell` computes

.. math ::

    B_n(x) = e^{-x} \left(\mathrm{sinc}(\pi n) + E_n(x)\right)

where `E_n(x)` is the generalized exponential function implemented
by :func:`~mpmath.polyexp`. This is an extension of Dobinski's formula [1],
where the modification is the sinc term ensuring that `B_n(x)` is
continuous in `n`; :func:`~mpmath.bell` can thus be evaluated,
differentiated, etc for arbitrary complex arguments.

**Examples**

`E_s(z)` is constructed from the exponential function analogously

It is an entire function of both `s` and `z`.

The polyexponential function provides a generalization of the
Bell polynomials `B_n(x)` (see :func:`~mpmath.bell`) to noninteger orders `n`.
In terms of the Bell polynomials,

    8 [1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]

The definition as a product over primitive roots may be checked
by computing the product explicitly (for a real argument, this
method will generally introduce numerical noise in the imaginary
part)::

    >>> mp.dps = 25
    >>> z = 3+4j
    >>> cyclotomic(10, z)
    (-419.0 - 360.0j)
    >>> fprod(z-r for r in unitroots(10, primitive=True))

for an appropriate choice of the contour `L` (see references).

There are `p` elements `a_j`.
The argument *a_s* should be a pair of lists, the first containing the
`n` elements `a_1, \ldots, a_n` and the second containing
the `p-n` elements `a_{n+1}, \ldots a_p`.

There are `q` elements `b_j`.
The argument *b_s* should be a pair of lists, the first containing the
`m` elements `b_1, \ldots, b_m` and the second containing
the `q-m` elements `b_{m+1}, \ldots b_q`.

The implicit tuple `(m, n, p, q)` constitutes the order or degree of the
Meijer G-function, and is determined by the lengths of the coefficient
vectors. Confusingly, the indices in this tuple appear in a different order
from the coefficients, but this notation is standard. The many examples
given below should hopefully clear up any potential confusion.

**Algorithm**

The Meijer G-function is evaluated as a combination of hypergeometric series.
There are two versions of the function, which can be selected with
the optional *series* argument.

*series=1* uses a sum of `m` `\,_pF_{q-1}` functions of `z`

*series=2* uses a sum of `n` `\,_qF_{p-1}` functions of `1/z`

The default series is chosen based on the degree and `|z|` in order
to be consistent with Mathematica's. This definition of the Meijer G-function
has a discontinuity at `|z| = 1` for some orders, which can
be avoided by explicitly specifying a series.

Keyword arguments are forwarded to :func:`~mpmath.hypercomb`.

**Examples**

Many standard functions are special cases of the Meijer G-function
(possibly rescaled and/or with branch cut corrections). We define
some test parameters::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 25; mp.pretty = True
    >>> a = mpf(0.75)
    >>> b = mpf(1.5)
    >>> z = mpf(2.25)

    >>> exp(z)
    9.487735836358525720550369

The natural logarithm:
`\log(1+z) = G^{1,2}_{2,2} \left( \left. \begin{matrix} 1, 1 \\ 1, 0
\end{matrix} \; \right| \; -z \right)`

    >>> meijerg([[1,1],[]], [[1],[0]], z)
    1.178654996341646117219023
    >>> log(1+z)
    1.178654996341646117219023

A rational function:
`\frac{z}{z+1} = G^{1,2}_{2,2} \left( \left. \begin{matrix} 1, 1 \\ 1, 1

The sine and cosine functions:

`\frac{1}{\sqrt \pi} \sin(2 \sqrt z) = G^{1,0}_{0,2} \left( \left. \begin{matrix}
- \\ \frac{1}{2}, 0 \end{matrix} \; \right| \; z \right)`

`\frac{1}{\sqrt \pi} \cos(2 \sqrt z) = G^{1,0}_{0,2} \left( \left. \begin{matrix}
- \\ 0, \frac{1}{2} \end{matrix} \; \right| \; z \right)`

    >>> meijerg([[],[]], [[0.5],[0]], (z/2)**2)
    0.4389807929218676682296453
    >>> sin(z)/sqrt(pi)

    >>> cos(z)/sqrt(pi)
    -0.3544090145996275423331762

Bessel functions:

`J_a(2 \sqrt z) = G^{1,0}_{0,2} \left( \left.
\begin{matrix} - \\ \frac{a}{2}, -\frac{a}{2}
\end{matrix} \; \right| \; z \right)`

`Y_a(2 \sqrt z) = G^{2,0}_{1,3} \left( \left.
\begin{matrix} \frac{-a-1}{2} \\ \frac{a}{2}, -\frac{a}{2}, \frac{-a-1}{2}
\end{matrix} \; \right| \; z \right)`

`(-z)^{a/2} z^{-a/2} I_a(2 \sqrt z) = G^{1,0}_{0,2} \left( \left.
\begin{matrix} - \\ \frac{a}{2}, -\frac{a}{2}
\end{matrix} \; \right| \; -z \right)`

`2 K_a(2 \sqrt z) = G^{2,0}_{0,2} \left( \left.
\begin{matrix} - \\ \frac{a}{2}, -\frac{a}{2}
\end{matrix} \; \right| \; z \right)`

As the example with the Bessel *I* function shows, a branch
factor is required for some arguments when inverting the square root.

    >>> meijerg([[],[]], [[a/2],[-a/2]], (z/2)**2)

A Meijer G-function of higher degree, (1,1,2,3):

    1.55984467443050210115617

A Meijer G-function of still higher degree, (4,1,2,4), that can
be expanded as a messy combination of exponential integrals:

    >>> meijerg([[a],[2*b-a]], [[b,a,b-0.5,-1-a+2*b],[]], z)
    0.3323667133658557271898061

clsin = r"""
Computes the Clausen sine function, defined formally by the series

.. math ::

    \mathrm{Cl}_s(z) = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{\sin(kz)}{k^s}.

The special case `\mathrm{Cl}_2(z)` (i.e. ``clsin(2,z)``) is the classical
"Clausen function". More generally, the Clausen function is defined for
complex `s` and `z`, even when the series does not converge. The
Clausen function is related to the polylogarithm (:func:`~mpmath.polylog`) as

.. math ::

    \mathrm{Cl}_s(z) = \frac{1}{2i}\left(\mathrm{Li}_s\left(e^{iz}\right) -
                       \mathrm{Li}_s\left(e^{-iz}\right)\right)

    = \mathrm{Im}\left[\mathrm{Li}_s(e^{iz})\right] \quad (s, z \in \mathbb{R}),

and this representation can be taken to provide the analytic continuation of the
series. The complementary function :func:`~mpmath.clcos` gives the corresponding
cosine sum.

**Examples**

Evaluation for arbitrarily chosen `s` and `z`::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 25; mp.pretty = True
    >>> s, z = 3, 4
    >>> clsin(s, z); nsum(lambda k: sin(z*k)/k**s, [1,inf])
    -0.6533010136329338746275795
    -0.6533010136329338746275795

Using `z + \pi` instead of `z` gives an alternating series::

    >>> clsin(s, z+pi)
    0.8860032351260589402871624
    >>> nsum(lambda k: (-1)**k*sin(z*k)/k**s, [1,inf])
    0.8860032351260589402871624

With `s = 1`, the sum can be expressed in closed form
using elementary functions::

    >>> z = 1 + sqrt(3)
    >>> clsin(1, z)
    0.2047709230104579724675985
    >>> chop((log(1-exp(-j*z)) - log(1-exp(j*z)))/(2*j))
    0.2047709230104579724675985
    >>> nsum(lambda k: sin(k*z)/k, [1,inf])
    0.2047709230104579724675985

The classical Clausen function `\mathrm{Cl}_2(\theta)` gives the
value of the integral `\int_0^{\theta} -\ln(2\sin(x/2)) dx` for
`0 < \theta < 2 \pi`::

    >>> cl2 = lambda t: clsin(2, t)
    >>> cl2(3.5)
    -0.2465045302347694216534255
    >>> -quad(lambda x: ln(2*sin(0.5*x)), [0, 3.5])
    -0.2465045302347694216534255

This function is symmetric about `\theta = \pi` with zeros and extreme
points::

    >>> cl2(0); cl2(pi/3); chop(cl2(pi)); cl2(5*pi/3); chop(cl2(2*pi))
    0.0

    0.0
    -1.014941606409653625021203
    0.0

Catalan's constant is a special value::

    >>> cl2(pi/2)

    >>> +catalan
    0.9159655941772190150546035

`s` is an odd integer (becoming zero when `s` < 0)::

    >>> z = 1 + sqrt(2)

    >>> clsin(-1, z)
    0.0
    >>> clsin(-3, z)
    0.0

It can also be expressed in closed form for even integer `s \le 0`,
providing a finite sum for series such as
`\sin(z) + \sin(2z) + \sin(3z) + \ldots`::

    >>> z = 1 + sqrt(2)

        \frac{(a)_{m+n} (b_1)_m (b_2)_n}{(c)_{m+n}}
        \frac{x^m y^n}{m! n!}.

This series is only generally convergent when `|x| < 1` and `|y| < 1`,
although :func:`~mpmath.appellf1` can evaluate an analytic continuation
with respecto to either variable, and sometimes both.

**Examples**

Evaluation is supported for real and complex parameters::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 25; mp.pretty = True
    >>> appellf1(1,0,0.5,1,0.5,0.25)

For some integer parameters, the F1 series reduces to a polynomial::

    >>> appellf1(2,-4,-3,1,2,5)
    -816.0
    >>> appellf1(-5,1,2,1,4,5)
    -20528.0

The analytic continuation with respect to either `x` or `y`,
and sometimes with respect to both, can be evaluated::

    >>> appellf1(2,3,4,5,100,0.5)
    (0.0006231042714165329279738662 + 0.0000005769149277148425774499857j)

    -0.07122993830066776374929313

For certain arguments, F1 reduces to an ordinary hypergeometric function::

    >>> appellf1(1,2,3,5,0.5,0.25)
    1.547902270302684019335555

    (-1.717202506168937502740238 - 2.792526803190927323077905j)

The F1 function satisfies a system of partial differential equations::

    >>> a,b1,b2,c,x,y = map(mpf, [1,0.5,0.25,1.125,0.25,-0.25])
    >>> F = lambda x,y: appellf1(a,b1,b2,c,x,y)

    ...      a*b1*F(x,y))
    0.0

    ...      b2*x*diff(F,(x,y),(1,0)) -
    ...      a*b2*F(x,y))
    0.0

The Appell F1 function allows for closed-form evaluation of various
integrals, such as any integral of the form
`\int x^r (x+a)^p (x+b)^q dx`::

    >>> def integral(a,b,p,q,r,x1,x2):

zeta = r"""
Computes the Riemann zeta function

.. math ::

  \zeta(s) = 1+\frac{1}{2^s}+\frac{1}{3^s}+\frac{1}{4^s}+\ldots

or, with `a \ne 1`, the more general Hurwitz zeta function

.. math ::

    \zeta(s,a) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{1}{(a+k)^s}.

Optionally, ``zeta(s, a, n)`` computes the `n`-th derivative with
respect to `s`,

.. math ::

    \zeta^{(n)}(s,a) = (-1)^n \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{\log^n(a+k)}{(a+k)^s}.

Although these series only converge for `\Re(s) > 1`, the Riemann and Hurwitz
zeta functions are defined through analytic continuation for arbitrary
complex `s \ne 1` (`s = 1` is a pole).

The implementation uses three algorithms: the Borwein algorithm for
the Riemann zeta function when `s` is close to the real line;
the Riemann-Siegel formula for the Riemann zeta function when `s` is
large imaginary, and Euler-Maclaurin summation in all other cases.
The reflection formula for `\Re(s) < 0` is implemented in some cases.
The algorithm can be chosen with ``method = 'borwein'``,
``method='riemann-siegel'`` or ``method = 'euler-maclaurin'``.

The parameter `a` is usually a rational number `a = p/q`, and may be specified
as such by passing an integer tuple `(p, q)`. Evaluation is supported for
arbitrary complex `a`, but may be slow and/or inaccurate when `\Re(s) < 0` for
nonrational `a` or when computing derivatives.

**Examples**

Some values of the Riemann zeta function::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 25; mp.pretty = True
    >>> zeta(2); pi**2 / 6

    >>> zeta(-1)
    -0.08333333333333333333333333
    >>> zeta(-2)
    0.0

For large positive `s`, `\zeta(s)` rapidly approaches 1::

    >>> zeta(50)
    1.000000000000000888178421
    >>> zeta(100)

    >>> nsum(lambda k: zeta(k)-1, [2, inf])
    1.0

the critical line `s = 1/2 + it`::

    (0.5 + 14.13472514173469379045725j)

For investigation of the zeta function zeros, the Riemann-Siegel
Z-function is often more convenient than working with the Riemann
zeta function directly (see :func:`~mpmath.siegelz`).

dirichlet = r"""
Evaluates the Dirichlet L-function

.. math ::

    L(s,\chi) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{\chi(k)}{k^s}.

where `\chi` is a periodic sequence of length `q` which should be supplied
in the form of a list `[\chi(0), \chi(1), \ldots, \chi(q-1)]`.
Strictly, `\chi` should be a Dirichlet character, but any periodic
sequence will work.

For example, ``dirichlet(s, [1])`` gives the ordinary
Riemann zeta function and ``dirichlet(s, [-1,1])`` gives
the alternating zeta function (Dirichlet eta function).

Also the derivative with respect to `s` (currently only a first
derivative) can be evaluated.

Calculates the regular Coulomb wave function

.. math ::

    F_l(\eta,z) = C_l(\eta) z^{l+1} e^{-iz} \,_1F_1(l+1-i\eta, 2l+2, 2iz)

where the normalization constant `C_l(\eta)` is as calculated by
:func:`~mpmath.coulombc`. This function solves the differential equation

.. math ::

    f''(z) + \left(1-\frac{2\eta}{z}-\frac{l(l+1)}{z^2}\right) f(z) = 0.

A second linearly independent solution is given by the irregular
Coulomb wave function `G_l(\eta,z)` (see :func:`~mpmath.coulombg`)
and thus the general solution is
`f(z) = C_1 F_l(\eta,z) + C_2 G_l(\eta,z)` for arbitrary
constants `C_1`, `C_2`.
Physically, the Coulomb wave functions give the radial solution
to the Schrodinger equation for a point particle in a `1/z` potential; `z` is
then the radius and `l`, `\eta` are quantum numbers.

The Coulomb wave functions with real parameters are defined
in Abramowitz & Stegun, section 14. However, all parameters are permitted
to be complex in this implementation (see references).

instead of `m` by passing ``q=<value>``, or you can directly
specify the elliptic parameter `k` with ``k=<value>``.

The first argument should be a two-character string specifying the

jtheta = r"""
Computes the Jacobi theta function `\vartheta_n(z, q)`, where
`n = 1, 2, 3, 4`, defined by the infinite series:

.. math ::

  \vartheta_1(z,q) = 2 q^{1/4} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}
    (-1)^n q^{n^2+n\,} \sin((2n+1)z)

  \vartheta_2(z,q) = 2 q^{1/4} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}
    q^{n^{2\,} + n} \cos((2n+1)z)

  \vartheta_3(z,q) = 1 + 2 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}
    q^{n^2\,} \cos(2 n z)

  \vartheta_4(z,q) = 1 + 2 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}
    (-q)^{n^2\,} \cos(2 n z)

The theta functions are functions of two variables:

* `z` is the *argument*, an arbitrary real or complex number

* `q` is the *nome*, which must be a real or complex number
  in the unit disk (i.e. `|q| < 1`). For `|q| \ll 1`, the
  series converge very quickly, so the Jacobi theta functions
  can efficiently be evaluated to high precision.

The compact notations `\vartheta_n(q) = \vartheta_n(0,q)`
and `\vartheta_n = \vartheta_n(0,q)` are also frequently
encountered. Finally, Jacobi theta functions are frequently
considered as functions of the half-period ratio `\tau`
and then usually denoted by `\vartheta_n(z|\tau)`.

Optionally, ``jtheta(n, z, q, derivative=d)`` with `d > 0` computes
a `d`-th derivative with respect to `z`.

**Examples and basic properties**

Considered as functions of `z`, the Jacobi theta functions may be
viewed as generalizations of the ordinary trigonometric functions
cos and sin. They are periodic functions::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 25; mp.pretty = True
    >>> jtheta(1, 0.25, '0.2')
    0.2945120798627300045053104
    >>> jtheta(1, 0.25 + 2*pi, '0.2')
    0.2945120798627300045053104

Indeed, the series defining the theta functions are essentially
trigonometric Fourier series. The coefficients can be retrieved
using :func:`~mpmath.fourier`::

    >>> mp.dps = 10
    >>> nprint(fourier(lambda x: jtheta(2, x, 0.5), [-pi, pi], 4))
    ([0.0, 1.68179, 0.0, 0.420448, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0])

The Jacobi theta functions are also so-called quasiperiodic
functions of `z` and `\tau`, meaning that for fixed `\tau`,
`\vartheta_n(z, q)` and `\vartheta_n(z+\pi \tau, q)` are the same
except for an exponential factor::

    >>> mp.dps = 25
    >>> tau = 3*j/10
    >>> q = exp(pi*j*tau)
    >>> z = 10
    >>> jtheta(4, z+tau*pi, q)
    (-0.682420280786034687520568 + 1.526683999721399103332021j)
    >>> -exp(-2*j*z)/q * jtheta(4, z, q)
    (-0.682420280786034687520568 + 1.526683999721399103332021j)

The Jacobi theta functions satisfy a huge number of other
functional equations, such as the following identity (valid for
any `q`)::

    >>> q = mpf(3)/10
    >>> jtheta(3,0,q)**4
    6.823744089352763305137427
    >>> jtheta(2,0,q)**4 + jtheta(4,0,q)**4
    6.823744089352763305137427

Extensive listings of identities satisfied by the Jacobi theta
functions can be found in standard reference works.

The Jacobi theta functions are related to the gamma function
for special arguments::

    >>> jtheta(3, 0, exp(-pi))
    1.086434811213308014575316
    >>> pi**(1/4.) / gamma(3/4.)
    1.086434811213308014575316

:func:`~mpmath.jtheta` supports arbitrary precision evaluation and complex
arguments::

    >>> jtheta(4, sqrt(2), 0.5)

eulernum = r"""
Gives the `n`-th Euler number, defined as the `n`-th derivative of
`\mathrm{sech}(t) = 1/\cosh(t)` evaluated at `t = 0`. Equivalently, the
Euler numbers give the coefficients of the Taylor series

.. math ::

    \mathrm{sech}(t) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{E_n}{n!} t^n.

The Euler numbers are closely related to Bernoulli numbers
and Bernoulli polynomials. They can also be evaluated in terms of
Euler polynomials (see :func:`~mpmath.eulerpoly`) as `E_n = 2^n E_n(1/2)`.

**Examples**

Computing the first few Euler numbers and verifying that they
agree with the Taylor series::

    >>> from mpmath import *
    >>> mp.dps = 25; mp.pretty = True
    >>> [eulernum(n) for n in range(11)]

The Euler polynomials may also be represented in terms of
Bernoulli polynomials (see :func:`~mpmath.bernpoly`) using various formulas, for
example

.. math ::

    E_n(z) = \frac{2}{n+1} \left(

        P_l^m(\cos \theta) e^{i m \phi}

where `P_l^m` is an associated Legendre function (see :func:`~mpmath.legenp`).

Here `\theta \in [0, \pi]` denotes the polar coordinate (ranging
from the north pole to the south pole) and `\phi \in [0, 2 \pi]` denotes the

stirling1 = r"""
Gives the Stirling number of the first kind `s(n,k)`, defined by

.. math ::

    x(x-1)(x-2)\cdots(x-n+1) = \sum_{k=0}^n s(n,k) x^k.

The value is computed using an integer recurrence. The implementation
is not optimized for approximating large values quickly.

**Examples**

Comparing with the generating function::

    >>> n, k = 5, 3
    >>> stirling1(n+1,k) + n*stirling1(n,k) - stirling1(n,k-1)
    0.0

The matrices of Stirling numbers of first and second kind are inverses
of each other::
