> Hi.
> The bug relates on complex numbers.
> The methods "multiply" and "equals" of the class Complex are involved.
> mathematic background: (0,i) * (-1,0i) = (0,-i).
> little java program + output that shows the bug:
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
> {code}
> import org.apache.commons.math.complex.*;
> public class TestProg {
> public static void main(String[] args) {
> ComplexFormat f = new ComplexFormat();
> Complex c1 = new Complex(0,1);
> Complex c2 = new Complex(-1,0);
> Complex res = c1.multiply(c2);
> Complex comp = new Complex(0,-1);
> System.out.println("res: "+f.format(res));
> System.out.println("comp: "+f.format(comp));
> System.out.println("res=comp: "+res.equals(comp));
> }
> }
> {code}
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
> res: -0 - 1i
> comp: 0 - 1i
> res=comp: false
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
> I think the "equals" should return "true".
> The problem could either be the "multiply" method that gives (-0,-1i) instead
> of (0,-1i),
> or if you think thats right, the equals method has to be modified.
> Good Luck
> Dieter
