## @deftypefn {Function File} {@var{semimajoraxis} =} majaxis (@var{semiminoraxis}, @var{ecc})
## Return the semimajor axis given the semiminoraxis (b) and eccentricity (e).
##
## Examples
##
## Scalar input:
## @example
## earth_b = 6356752.314245; ## meter
## earth_ecc = 0.081819221456;
## a = majaxis (earth_b, earth_ecc)
## => a =
## 6.3781e+06
## @end example
##
## Vector input:
## @example
## planets_b = [ 6356752.314245 ; 66854000 ]; ## meter
## planets_ecc = [ 0.081819221456 ; 0.3543164 ];
## planets_a = majaxis ( planets_b , planets_ecc )
## => planets_a =
## 6.3781e+06
## 7.1492e+07
## @end example
##
