COMPLEX NUMBER LIBRARY

Complex

Complex is a libary that deals with Complex Numbers in JavaScript. It provides several methods ranging from add, multiply numbers as well as calculate the magnitude and angle(rad) in the complex plane. A complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is the imaginary unit which satisfies the equation i^2 = −1.

Application of Complex Equations

Complex numbers have essential concrete applications in a variety of scientific and related areas such as signal processing, control theory, electromagnetism, fluid dynamics, quantum mechanics, cartography, and vibration analysis.

Control theory

In control theory, systems are often transformed from the time domain to the frequency domain using the Laplace transform. The system's poles and zeros are then analyzed in the complex plane. The root locus, Nyquist plot, and Nichols plot techniques all make use of the complex plane.

In the root locus method, it is especially important whether the poles and zeros are in the left or right half planes, i.e. have real part greater than or less than zero. If a linear, time-invariant (LTI) system has poles that are

in the right half plane, it will be unstable, all in the left half plane, it will be stable, on the imaginary axis, it will have marginal stability. If a system has zeros in the right half plane, it is a nonminimum phase system.

Signal analysis

Complex numbers are used in signal analysis and other fields for a convenient description for periodically varying signals. For given real functions representing actual physical quantities, often in terms of sines and cosines, corresponding complex functions are considered of which the real parts are the original quantities. For a sine wave of a given frequency, the absolute value | z | of the corresponding z is the amplitude and the argument arg(z) is the phase.

If Fourier analysis is employed to write a given real-valued signal as a sum of periodic functions, these periodic functions are often written as complex valued functions of the form

and

where ω represents the angular frequency and the complex number A encodes the phase and amplitude as explained above.

This use is also extended into digital signal processing and digital image processing, which utilize digital versions of Fourier analysis (and wavelet analysis) to transmit, compress, restore, and otherwise process digital audio signals, still images, and video signals.Wikipedia

Node

You can get this package with NPM:

npm install complex_number_library

var Complex = require('complex');
console.log(new Complex(3, 4).magnitude()); // 5 the absolute/magnitude value of 3+4i

Testing

Testing is done with Mocha and Expect.js:

# install dependencies

npm install

# run the tests in node

./node_modules/.bin/mocha ./lib/complex.js

API Documentation

Complex constructor: //complex numbers are in format z = x+iy

var complex = new complex(real, img);

Arguments:

1. real (number) the real part of the complex equation
2. img (number) the imaginary part of the complex equation

Function: Complex.prototype.newDeclare

It helps create a valid complex instance for manipulation

var z = complex.newDeclare(real, img); // use new complex(real, img) instead;

Arguments:

1. real (number) the real part of the number
2. img (number) the imaginary part of the number

Examples:

var z = complex.newDeclare(2, 4); // use new complex(real, img) instead;
var z = complex.newDeclare(5); // use new complex(real, img) instead;

Method: returnResult

Sets the real and imaginary properties a and b from a + bi

Complex.returnResult(real, img);

Arguments:

1. real (number) the real part of the number
2. img (number) the imaginary part of the number

Method: magnitude

Calculates the magnitude of the complex number Magnitude is the square root of the square of the total of the real and img values

complexNum = new complex(3,4);
complexNum.magnitude(); //equates to 5

Method: angle

Calculates the angle with respect to the real axis i.e x-axis, in radians.

complexNum = new complex(0,1);
complexNum.angle(); // equates to PI/2

Method: conjugate

Calculates the conjugate of the complex number (multiplies the imaginary part by -1)

complexNum = new complex(2,1); // complex equation 2+i
complexNum.conjugate(); // equates to 2-i

Method: negate

Negates the number (multiplies both the real and imaginary part with -1)

complexNum = new complex(2,1); // complex equation 2+i
complexNum.negate(); // equates to -2-i

Method: multiply

Multiplies the number with a real or another complex equation

complexNum = new complex(2,1); // complex equation 2+i
complexNum.multiply(z); 

Method: divide

Divides the number by a real or another complex equation

complexNum = new complex(2,1); // complex equation 2+i
complexNum.divide(z);

Method: add

Adds a real or complex equation

complexNum = new complex(2,1); // complex equation 2+i
complexNum.add(z);

Method: sub

Subtracts a real or complex equation

complexNum = new complex(2,1); // complex equation 2+i
complexNum.sub(z); // argument z can be a real number or a complex equation

Method: sqrt

Returns the square root of a complex equation

complexNum = new complex(1,4); // complex equation 1+4i

Method: log

Returns the natural logarithm (base E) of a complex equation

complexNum = new complex(4,3); // complex equation 4+3i
complexNum.log([Value]); // for complexNum.log()equates to '1.609437912+0.643501109i' 

Arguments:

Log[w] = Log[|w|]+I*(Arg[w]+2Pik), for any integer k:

Log[|w|] = real part

(Arg[w]+2Pik) = imaginary part

1. principalValue (number) For one complex value , there are infinitely many logarithms, because we can choose any integer as the Value! So it is clearly not like the real logarithm. Complex logarithm-simplifications can be made by forcing Arg[w] to be in the interval [-Pi,Pi] and always taking k = 0.
