Re: [R] Problem to compute a function with very large numbers

Thank you Dennis for your explanations! The results you found are the same as mine. with first an infinity result, followed by NaN. It seems that, when the number becomes too small, R must round it up to 0. Hence I was wondering if there might a way to increase the number of decimals for extremal

Hi: I had no problem getting the function to 'run', but it appears the execution time starts to rise dramatically after 1: > system.time(x <- Wi(100)) user system elapsed 0.030.000.03 > system.time(x <- Wi(1000)) user system elapsed 0.280.000.28 > system.time(x <
