complex_abs

std.elementwise.complex_abs · Level L2

The modulus |z| = √(a² + b²) of each element of a complex vector stored as a [2, n] array of real and imaginary parts.

|a + bi| = √(a² + b²)

Signature

complex_abs(z: f64[2, n]) → f64[n]

Structure

The function as NOVA stores it: one box per input, operation and output, and arrows that carry values. A double border marks another library function this one runs — called once, or by Scan once per element; select it to open that function.

Verification

  • Signature proven by NOVA’s shape solver, for every size.
  • Agrees with the reference np.abs(z[0] + 1j*z[1]) to 80 digits (100-digit arithmetic), on all 40 test cases.
  • All 171 float64 results inside the running error bound; the closest uses 79% of it.
  • Interpreter and NumPy backend return bit-identical results.
  • At float32 too: the 40 test cases rounded to float32, and 40 of them inside the running error bound at u = 2⁻²⁴; the closest uses 75% of it.

The semantic hash of the graph. It changes when the program changes, and never when only its documentation does.

Needs
no capability: a pure function

Through NOVA’s control layer, the symbol launches this function only while the program still matches what it pins: a change to this graph, or to any graph it reaches, needs a migration first.
