%   [ relError, absError ] = checkEquivalentApprox(approx1, approx2, bound)
%
% Checks two derivative approximations for equivalence.
%
% A warning is generated if either of these conditions holds:
%   1) The approximation magnitude > bound
%      and the maximum relative error > bound.
%   2) The approximation magnitude < bound
%      and the maximum absolute error > bound.
%
% Normally, the return values are ignored
%   (the whole point is the warning checks).
%
% parameters:
%   approx1     An array containing one approximation.
%   approx2     An array containing the other approximation.
%   bound       The bound above which warnings are generated.
%
%   relError    The relative error at each point in the array
%                 where the magnitude > bound (NaN otherwise).
%   absError    The absolute error at each point in the array.
