minimaxErr function

Evaluate the Minimax Approximation Error

Evaluates the difference between the function and the minimax approximation at x.

minimaxErr(x, mmA)

Arguments

• x: a numeric vector
• mmA: a "minimaxApprox" return object

Details

This is a convenience function to evaluate the approximation error at x. It will use the same polynomial basis as was used in the approximation; see minimaxApprox for more details.

Returns

A vector of the same length as x containing the approximation error values.

Examples

# Show results
x <- seq(0, 0.5, length.out = 11L)
mmA <- minimaxApprox(exp, 0, 0.5, 5L)
err <- minimaxEval(x, mmA) - exp(x)
all.equal(err,  minimaxErr(x, mmA))

# Plot results
x <- seq(0, 0.5, length.out = 1001L)
plot(x, minimaxErr(x, mmA), type = "l")
