/* arcdot.c * * Angle between two vectors * * * * * SYNOPSIS: * * double p[3], q[3], arcdot(); * * y = arcdot( p, q ); * * * * DESCRIPTION: * * For two vectors p, q, the angle A between them is given by * * p.q / (|p| |q|) = cos A . * * where "." represents inner product, "|x|" the length of vector x. * If the angle is small, an expression in sin A is preferred. * Set r = q - p. Then * * p.q = p.p + p.r , * * |p|^2 = p.p , * * |q|^2 = p.p + 2 p.r + r.r , * * p.p^2 + 2 p.p p.r + p.r^2 * cos^2 A = ---------------------------- * p.p (p.p + 2 p.r + r.r) * * p.p + 2 p.r + p.r^2 / p.p * = --------------------------- , * p.p + 2 p.r + r.r * * sin^2 A = 1 - cos^2 A * * r.r - p.r^2 / p.p * = -------------------- * p.p + 2 p.r + r.r * * = (r.r - p.r^2 / p.p) / q.q . * * ACCURACY: * * Relative error: * arithmetic domain # trials peak rms * IEEE -1, 1 10^6 1.7e-16 4.2e-17 * */ /* Cephes Math Library Release 2.3: November, 1995 Copyright 1995 by Stephen L.
