promise already under evaluation: recursive default argument reference or earlier problems?

Question

Here is my R code. The functions are defined as:

f <- function(x, T) {
  10 * sin(0.3 * x) * sin(1.3 * x ^ 2) + 0.001 * x ^ 3 + 0.2 * x + 80
}

g <- fu         


        

Answer 1

Formal arguments of the form x=x cause this. Eliminating the two instances where they occur we get:

f <- function(x, T) {
   10 * sin(0.3 * x) * sin(1.3 * x^2) + 0.001 * x^3 + 0.2 * x + 80 
}

g <- function(x, T, f. = f) {  ## 1. note f.
   exp(-f.(x)/T) 
}

test<- function(g. = g, T = 1) {  ## 2. note g.
   g.(1,T) 
}

test()
