74 /*! \brief Check if two numbers are within a tolerance
76 * This routine checks if the relative difference between two numbers is
77 * approximately within the given tolerance, defined as
78 * fabs(f1-f2)<=tolerance*fabs(f1+f2+1.0).
80 * This expression is somewhat based on trial-and-error; the fabs() term on
81 * the right hand side avoids a division (important if f1==f2==0), and adding
82 * 1.0 is necessary when comparing a single number vs. 0.0.
84 * To check if two floating-point numbers are almost identical, use this routine
85 * with the tolerance GMX_REAL_EPS, or GMX_DOUBLE_EPS if the check should be
86 * done in double regardless of Gromacs precision.
88 * To check if two algorithms produce similar results you will normally need
89 * to relax the tolerance significantly since many operations (e.g. summation)
90 * accumulate floating point errors.
92 * \param f1 First number to compare
93 * \param f2 Second number to compare
94 * \param tol Tolerance to use
96 * \return 1 if the relative difference is within tolerance, 0 if not.

117 * Check if a number is smaller than some preset safe minimum
118 * value, currently defined as GMX_REAL_MIN/GMX_REAL_EPS.
120 * If a number is smaller than this value we risk numerical overflow
121 * if any number larger than 1.0/GMX_REAL_EPS is divided by it.
123 * \return 1 if 'almost' numerically zero, 0 otherwise.
