→Meta error propagation
Line 20:
::: Yes. For that case, it starts at the 0,-3 point (which is the center of the first circle), finds that the excess volume is negative infinity, and so stops there. But the error for 0,-3 is 112 which is larger than the acceptable error volume. So it reports no result. I suppose the question is: what criteria should be used to determine when simplex has completed, if it's not the presence of excess volume? Alternatively, what value should be reported for this case? And, why? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 20:54, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
:::: I don't quite understand your question... assuming it's about solutions of the three circles, two of them are <code>[(-4, 0), 3], [(4, 0), 3]</code>. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 21:04, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
