.SH DESCRIPTION

|
|
|
The logarithm clog() is the inverse function of the exponential cexp().
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
Thus, if y = clog(z), then z = cexp(y).
|

|
|
|
The imaginary part of
|
|
|
|
.I y
|
|
|
|
is chosen in the interval [\-pi,pi].

.LP
|
|
|
|
One has clog(z) = log(cabs(z))+I*carg(z).

Note that
|
|
|
|
.I z
|
|
|
|
close to zero will cause an overflow.
