complex number and matlab precision

3 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi,
How can I interpret this number? 0.49982+3.5799e-21i
The imaginary part is very small, but exist.
I seek accurate interpretation but I am confused about whether this has something to do with matlab calculation precision or whether this is has something to do with my formula in my algorithm.
I am troubled to understand this for months now.
Thank you

It may be some of both. My rule when dealing with situations like this is to simply ignore the imaginary part. If you want a more objective criterion, take the difference between the real part of the complex number and the magnitude (abs) of it. I ignore the imaginary part if the difference is less than 1E-10 if I have no reason to believe the imaginary part is accurate.
