Reliability and accuracy
|
The solutions are verified:
- by comparison with the numerical solutions obtained using Noisette code;
- by checking that they locally satisfy the corresponding equation where derivatives are replaced by finite differences.
However, there are several sources of inaccuracies.
- Quadrature formulas for integrals. In some cases the number of nodes is automatically chosen big enough to guarantee machine precision (in exact arithmetic). In other cases the user should adjust the number of quadrature nodes.
- Truncating series. s_Cylinder (diffraction of Gaussian pulse by cylinder) case requires a user-adjusted number of terms in the series.
- Special functions approximation. This problem arises for s_Cylinder and partially for s_Coaxial where Bessel functions are used. However, this causes no troubles for s_Gaussian2D and s_ViscAcCylinder where Bessel functions are also in use.
- Accumulating of arithmetic errors. I tried to avoid this if possible.
- Bugs in the solution and its program implementation. Unfortunately, possible everywhere.

Details of the implementation
- Language: C++03
- All solutions are presented as classes inheriting the abstract class tPointFunction
- Special thanks for the special functions to S. Moshier (Cephes and GNU LibQuadMath) and to J. Burkardt for the Jacobi quadrature rules
- Partially based on template classes for compatibility with extended precision arithmetic (using QD package)
- Object-free interface for use in C or FORTRAN (double precision only)
