Complex roots equality problem
显示 更早的评论
I want to find the real roots of a polynomial that are 0<=roots<=1, for example:
>> rts=roots([16 -32 116 0 -100])
rts =
0.9050 + 2.6262i
0.9050 - 2.6262i
1.0000 + 0.0000i
-0.8100 + 0.0000i
I should be able to find that rts(3) satisfies these requirements. However,
>> myrt=rts(logical(~imag(rts) & real(rts)>=0 & real(rts)<=1))
myrt =
Empty matrix: 0-by-1
This is because real(rts(3))<=1 yields false, which is a bug so far as I can tell since complex(1,0)<=1 yields true. If I open the variable rts and double click rts(3) (which shows that it really is stored just like complex(1,0)), I can then execute real(rts(3))<=1 and it produces the correct result. What gives?
How do I find that rts(3) is the correct answer when I write a script? I am using MATLAB R2015b.

R2016b:
>> rts=roots([16 -32 116 0 -100])
rts =
0.904997916303652 + 2.626226923351172i
0.904997916303652 - 2.626226923351172i
1.000000000000000 + 0.000000000000000i
-0.809995832607303 + 0.000000000000000i
>> rts(logical(~imag(rts) & real(rts)>=0 & real(rts)<=1))
ans =
1.000000000000000
>> num2hex(rts(3))
ans =
3feffffffffffffc
>> polyval([16 -32 116 0 -100],rts(3))
ans =
-8.526512829121202e-14
>> polyval([16 -32 116 0 -100],1)
ans =
0
R2011a:
>> rts=roots([16 -32 116 0 -100])
rts =
0.904997916303650 + 2.626226923351169i
0.904997916303650 - 2.626226923351169i
1.000000000000000
-0.809995832607303
>> rts(logical(~imag(rts) & real(rts)>=0 & real(rts)<=1))
ans =
Empty matrix: 0-by-1
>> num2strexact(rts(3))
ans =
1.000000000000000444089209850062616169452667236328125
>> num2hex(rts(3))
ans =

>> polyval([16 -32 116 0 -100],rts(3))
ans =
8.526512829121202e-014
>> polyval([16 -32 116 0 -100],1)
ans =
0
So it looks like the roots function (which uses eig in the background) has different behavior depending on the version. The versions missed being exactly 1.0 by 2-3 least significant bits (one version less than and the other version greater than). You will have to adjust your code to account for this.

Not sure what you are saying here. How do you get real(rts(3))<=1 to evaluate as true? You double clicked on rts in the Workspace list and then that brings up the Variable Editor. Then what did you do?

You will find that real(rts(3))-1 is not 0.
When I test on my Mac, in R2015b, rts(3) is 1+2*eps but in R2016b, rts(3) is 1-2*eps
