Development of a specific hardware architecture for a particular algorithm. Modelling fuctions by Taylor sSeries.

117 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to develop an architecture hardware to make an implementation of an algorithm that can be descomposed in terms of sums, multiplications, subtractions and exponential functions. I'm trying to model $\exp(-x)$ through Taylor series. The domain of my function is bounded between $0$ and $1500$, but I want to use a particular Taylor approximation whose domain is bounded between $0$ and $0.5$.

Is there any way to get an approximation using the my Taylor series whose domain is bounded between $0$ and $0.5$ to model the function whose domain is bounded between $0$ and $1500$?

The function I want to model for bounded domain is $\exp(-x)$.

Thank you for your help.

You can certainly find the Taylor series of exp(-x) around 0.25. Wolfram Alpha gives an answer. Then you can plug large numbers into it if you want. It just won't be at all accurate. But I don't think I am understanding what you mean by your boldface question.
