Baljit Singh updated MATH-1478:
-------------------------------
Priority: Major (was: Minor)
> Overflow in Vector norm and distance
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: MATH-1478
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1478
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.6.1
> Reporter: Baljit Singh
> Priority: Major
>
> In Euclidean Vector classes (Vector2D, Vector3D), getNorm() and distance()
> rely on FastMath.sqrt(), which can overflow if the components of the vectors
> are large. Instead, they should rely on FastMath.hypot(). For Vector3D, this
> would also mean developing FastMath.hypot(double, double, double), which is
> equivalent to FastMath.hypot(double, double), but with 3 (or N) arguments.
