53 -- | 'approxRational', applied to two real fractional numbers @x@ and @epsilon@,
54 -- returns the simplest rational number within @epsilon@ of @x@.
55 -- A rational number @y@ is said to be /simpler/ than another @y'@ if
57 -- * @'abs' ('numerator' y) <= 'abs' ('numerator' y')@, and
59 -- * @'denominator' y <= 'denominator' y'@.
61 -- Any real interval contains a unique simplest rational;
62 -- in particular, note that @0\/1@ is the simplest rational of all.
64 -- Implementation details: Here, for simplicity, we assume a closed rational
65 -- interval. If such an interval includes at least one whole number, then
66 -- the simplest rational is the absolutely least whole number. Otherwise,
67 -- the bounds are of the form q%1 + r%d and q%1 + r'%d', where abs r < d
68 -- and abs r' < d', and the simplest rational is q%1 + the reciprocal of
69 -- the simplest rational between d'%r' and d%r.
