arb_approx_dot
Synopsis
#include <flint/arb.h>void arb_approx_dot(arb_t res, const arb_t initial, int subtract, arb_srcptr x, slong xstep, arb_srcptr y, slong ystep, slong len, slong prec)sourceComputes the same dot product without error bounds: only the midpoints of the inputs are read and only the midpoint of res is written, using arf_approx_dot. Useful for approximate (floating-point) algorithms such as iterative refinement.
