thank you for your reply. I implemented your idea and it worked. Though, I had to constraint the exponent not only from below but from above. Thanks and Cheers, Kirill On 8/5/21 6:54 PM, John Maddock via Boost-users wrote:

I have encountered a problem while using Boost C++ libraries ( multiprecision/mpc.hpp, math/quadrature) which I cannot resolve.

This problems appears when running the following piece of code

OK, the value that triggers the issue is -6.275135555002646369320950230099689165841342351751646e-118909138 - 6.275135555002646369320950230099689165841342351751646e-118909138i

And this appears to be an exponent range issue - basically mpc_exp gets slower and slower as the exponents approach -INF and eventually grinds to a halt.

I'm not yet sure if this is a bug in MPC, or if you've just hit a stupidly hard value to compute - wolframalpha dies as well with this case.

For the purposes of calculating the integral, guess you could just return 1 from your functor whenever the exponent is sufficiently small?

HTH, John.

||Namely, the problem appears when evaluating the exponent.

The code is compiled without any problems, but hangs on computing

|    mpc_type ex2 = mpns::exp(-z*x2) ;|

It was possible to go into the function while debugging.

It crashed eventually, when the compiler reached "unable to resolve non-existing file.../src/init2.c".

I let it run for a while checking the call stack. It appears that the programs is stuck atcalling ___gmpn_sub_n_coreisbr().

Or better, in the call stuck it appeared frequently.

I did several tests.

The real-valued version (with mpfr_backend <2000>) works without any problems.

cpp_complex_backend <100> works fine, but I could not test higher precision yet, since it is much slower.

I found a work-around which is not ideal. Namely,

mpc_type ex2 = mpc_type(mpns::exp(x2)) ;     mpc_type ezx2 = mpns::pow(ex2,-z) ;

works fine with mpc_complex_backend <2000>.

The lambda-function as it is declared in the code above works and yields correct numbers.

The problem appears when it is called from the integrator.

My system.

I use openSUSE Tumbeleweed.

I installed boost libraries as provided by |boost_1_76_0-gnu-mpich-hpc-devel.|

Complier -> g++, cppStandard gnu+17.

I check that I have all libs, e.g. libgmp, libmpc, libmpfr and etc.

All headers are present (the programs is complied without any warnings).

Thank you in advance and

Best wishes,

Kirill
