The return type of these functions is computed using the <a class="link" href="../../main_overview/result_type.html" title="Calculation of the Type of the Result"><span class="emphasis"><em>result
type calculation rules</em></span></a>: note than when there is a single
template argument the result is the same type as that argument or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code> if the template argument is an integer
type.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The final <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Policies">Policy</a> argument
is optional and can be used to control the behaviour of the function:
how it handles errors, what level of precision to use etc. Refer to the
<a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Policies">policy documentation for more details</a>.

Note that the worst errors occur when the degree increases, values greater
than ~120 are very unlikely to produce sensible results, especially in
the associated polynomial case when the order is also large. Further the
relative errors are likely to grow arbitrarily large when the function
is very close to a root.

<p>
A mixture of spot tests of values calculated using functions.wolfram.com,
and randomly generated test data are used: the test data was computed using
<a href="http://shoup.net/ntl/doc/RR.txt" target="_top">NTL::RR</a> at 1000-bit
precision.

</h5>
<p>
These functions are implemented using the stable three term recurrence
relations. These relations guarentee low absolute error but cannot guarentee
low relative error near one of the roots of the polynomials.
