The following complex number algorithms are the inverses of trigonometric functions currently present in the C++ standard. Equivalents to these functions are part of the C99 standard, and will be part of the forthcoming Technical Report on C++ Standard Library Extensions.
Although there are simple formulae available for all of these functions, a naive implementation that uses these formulae could fail for some input values. The Boost versions of these functions are implemented using the methodology described in "Implementing the Complex Arcsine and Arccosine Functions Using Exception Handling" by T. E. Hull Thomas F. Fairgrieve and Ping Tak Peter Tang, ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, Vol. 23, No. 3, September 1997. This means that the functions are well defined over the entire complex number range, and produce accurate values even at the extremes of that range, whereas a naive formula could cause overflow or underflow to occur during the calculation, even though the result is actually a representable value. The maximum theoretical relative error for all of these functions is less than 9.5E for every machine-representable point in the complex plane. Please refer to comments in the header files themselves and to the above mentioned paper for more information on the implementation methodology.
