Testing with:

geometric_extrapolation(np.array([1e-4]), 1e-5, 1e-3, points_per_decade=4)

gives an extra point in the preceding decade:

[1.00000000e-05, 1.58489319e-05, 2.51188643e-05, 3.98107171e-05,
        6.30957344e-05, 1.00000000e-04, 1.77827941e-04, 3.16227766e-04,
        5.62341325e-04, 1.00000000e-03]

because log_delta_q * (log(q[0])-log(q_min)) evaluates to 4.000000000000001 when computing n_low.

We may find that we have different results on different computers because of small differences in floating point processing, but this will likely be less than the effect of using single rather than double precision if a GPU is available so I'm inclined to ignore it.

I'm not sure why this is marked as draft, but it seems ready to merge.

@caitwolf, Paul thinks this is ready to move from draft. Did you have some issues you were holding this back for? In particular do we want this to be in the sasmodels release that will build SasView 6.0?

@caitwolf , @dehoni @rmdalgliesh @gnsmith @wimbouwman - Should this be part of 6.0?

@butlerpd was this question for PR #536 after our discussion on the call?

Converting this back to a draft, many of the checks for slit smearing a model are broken after the change.

Oops .. I think so. Sorry and thanks for the catch

@pkienzle it looks like the opencl tests are failing specifically. Would you be able to take a look?

@pkienzle I'm circling back to this pull request during contributor camp; would you be able to help me out with the opencl tests that are failing with this change?

Determined that failing opencl tests is external of this PR and is more broadly affecting the master branch and all PR's.

@pkienzle this fix will affect test_simple_interface in direct_model.py. As discussed, can you update the target values?
