I meant for this not to send... LOL.

But since it did..

2) abs(a-b) <= tol * max( abs(a), abs(b) )

3) abs(a-b) <= tol * min( abs(a), abs(b) )

> 2) (abs(a-b) <= tol*abs(a)) or (abs(a-b) <= tol*abs(a)) I think the last 'a' should be a 'b'?

> 3) (abs(a-b) <= tol*abs(a)) and (abs(a-b) <= tol*abs(a)) Same here?

Yes, I think they both should be 'b'. Otherwise both sides are the same.
