Produce a table of the values of the series
Equation 1
for the 2001 values of x, x= 0.000, 0.001, 0.002, ..., 2.000. All entries of the table must have an absolute error less than 0.5e-12 (12 digits of precision). This problem is based on a problem from Hamming (1962), when mainframes were very slow by today's microcomputer standards.
Input
This problem has no input.
Output
The output is to be formatted as two columns with the values of x and y(x) printed as in the C printf or the Pascal writeln.
printf("%5.3f %16.12f\n", x, psix ) writeln(x:5:3, psix:16:12)
As an example, here are 4 acceptable lines out of 2001.
0.000 1.644934066848 ... 0.500 1.227411277760 ... 1.000 1.000000000000 ... 2.000 0.750000000000
The values of x should start at 0.000 and increase by 0.001 until the line with x=2.000 is output.
Hint
The problem with summing the sequence in equation 1 is that too many terms may be required to complete the summation in the given time. Additionally, if enough terms were to be summed, roundoff would render any typical double precision computation useless for the desired precision.
To improve the convergence of the summation process note that
Equation 2
which implies y(1)=1.0. One can then produce a series for y(x) - y(1) which converges faster than the original series. This series not only converges much faster, it also reduces roundoff loss.
This process of finding a faster converging series may be repeated to produce sequences which converge more and more rapidly than the previous ones.
The following inequality is helpful in determining how may items are required in summing the series above.
思路: 这是一道数学题 我居然看了好久才搞懂题目意思 大概就是f(x)-f(1)=(1-x)/(k*(k+x)*(k+1))更加精确,因为此时是1/k^3 所以再加上(1-x)/(2*k*k) 最后加1
