Efficient computation of pi by the Newton - Raphson iteration and a two-term Machin-like formula. (arXiv:1712.04414v1 [math.GM])

In our recent publication we have proposed a new methodology for determination of the two-term Machin-like formula for pi with small arguments of the arctangent function of kind $$ \frac{\pi }{4} = {2^{k - 1}}\arctan \left( {\frac{1}{{{\beta _1}}}} \right) + \arctan \left( {\frac{1}{{{\beta _2}}}} \right), $$ where $k$ and ${\beta _1}$ are some integers and ${\beta _2}$ is a rational number, dependent upon ${\beta _1}$ and $k$. Although ${1/\left|\beta _2\right|}$ may be significantly smaller than ${1/\beta _1}$, the large numbers in the numerator and denominator of $\beta_2$ decelerate the computation. In this work we show how this problem can be effectively resolved by the Newton--Raphson iteration method. 查看全文>>
