Inverse cosine function.

Method

acos(x) = pi/2 - asin(x)
acos(-x) = pi/2 + asin(x)


For |x|<=0.5
acos(x) = pi/2 - (x + x*x^2*R(x^2)) (see asin.c)


For x>0.5
acos(x) = pi/2 - (pi/2 - 2asin(sqrt((1-x)/2)))
= 2asin(sqrt((1-x)/2))
= 2s + 2s*z*R(z) ...z=(1-x)/2, s=sqrt(z)
= 2f + (2c + 2s*z*R(z))
where f=hi part of s, and c = (z-f*f)/(s+f) is the correction term
for f so that f+c ~ sqrt(z).


For x<-0.5
acos(x) = pi - 2asin(sqrt((1-|x|)/2))
= pi - 0.5*(s+s*z*R(z)), where z=(1-|x|)/2,s=sqrt(z)

Special cases

if x is NaN, return NaN
if |x|>1, return NaN

Inverse sine function.

Method

Since  asin(x) = x + x^3/6 + x^5*3/40 + x^7*15/336 + ...
we approximate asin(x) on [0,0.5] by

asin(x) = x + x*x^2*R(x^2) where
R(x^2) is a rational approximation of (asin(x)-x)/x^3 and its remez error is bounded by
|(asin(x)-x)/x^3 - R(x^2)| < 2^(-58.75)

For x in [0.5,1]

asin(x) = pi/2-2*asin(sqrt((1-x)/2)) Let y = (1-x), z = y/2, s := sqrt(z), and pio2_hi+pio2_lo=pi/2; then for x>0.98
asin(x) = pi/2 - 2*(s+s*z*R(z))
= pio2_hi - (2*(s+s*z*R(z)) - pio2_lo)

For x<=0.98, let pio4_hi = pio2_hi/2, then

f = hi part of s;
c = sqrt(z) - f = (z-f*f)/(s+f) ...f+c=sqrt(z) and
asin(x) = pi/2 - 2*(s+s*z*R(z))
= pio4_hi+(pio4-2s)-(2s*z*R(z)-pio2_lo)
= pio4_hi+(pio4-2f)-(2s*z*R(z)-(pio2_lo+2c))

Special cases

if x is NaN, return NaN
if |x|>1, return NaN

Definition at line 100 of file asin.c.

= sign(x)*(log(x)+ln2)) for large |x|, else
= sign(x)*log(2|x|+1/(|x|+sqrt(x*x+1))) if|x|>2, else

[7/16,11/16] atan(x) = atan(1/2) + atan( (t-0.5)/(1+t/2) )
[11/16.19/16] atan(x) = atan( 1 ) + atan( (t-1)/(1+t) )
[19/16,39/16] atan(x) = atan(3/2) + atan( (t-1.5)/(1+1.5t) )
[39/16,INF] atan(x) = atan(INF) + atan( -1/t )

Definition at line 47 of file exc.c.

Returns the exponential of x.

Method

1. Argument reduction:
Reduce x to an r so that |r| <= 0.5*ln2 ~ 0.34658.
Given x, find r and integer k such that
x = k*ln2 + r, |r| <= 0.5*ln2.
Here r will be represented as r = hi-lo for better
accuracy. 2. Approximation of exp(r) by a special rational function on
the interval [0,0.34658]:
Write
R(r**2) = r*(exp(r)+1)/(exp(r)-1) = 2 + r*r/6 - r**4/360 + ...
We use a special Remes algorithm on [0,0.34658] to generate
a polynomial of degree 5 to approximate R. The maximum error
of this polynomial approximation is bounded by 2**-59. In
other words,
R(z) ~ 2.0 + P1*z + P2*z**2 + P3*z**3 + P4*z**4 + P5*z**5
(where z=r*r, and the values of P1 to P5 are listed below)
and
| 5 | -59
| 2.0+P1*z+...+P5*z - R(z) | <= 2
| |
The computation of exp(r) thus becomes
2*r
exp(r) = 1 + -------
R - r
r*R1(r)
= 1 + r + ----------- (for better accuracy)
2 - R1(r)
where
2 4 10
R1(r) = r - (P1*r + P2*r + ... + P5*r ). 3. Scale back to obtain exp(x):
From step 1, we have
exp(x) = 2^k * exp(r)


Special cases:

exp(INF) is INF, exp(NaN) is NaN; exp(-INF) is 0, and for finite argument, only exp(0)=1 is exact.


Accuracy:

according to an error analysis, the error is always less than 1 ulp (unit in the last place).


Misc. info:

For IEEE double
if x > 7.09782712893383973096e+02 then exp(x) overflow
if x < -7.45133219101941108420e+02 then exp(x) underflow


Constants:

The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following
constants. The decimal values may be used, provided that the
compiler will convert from decimal to binary accurately enough
to produce the hexadecimal values shown.

hypot

Method

If (assume round-to-nearest) z=x*x+y*y
has error less than sqrt(2)/2 ulp, than
sqrt(z) has error less than 1 ulp (exercise).


So, compute sqrt(x*x+y*y) with some care as
follows to get the error below 1 ulp:


Assume x>y>0;
(if possible, set rounding to round-to-nearest)
1. if x > 2y use
x1*x1+(y*y+(x2*(x+x1))) for x*x+y*y
where x1 = x with lower 32 bits cleared, x2 = x-x1; else
2. if x <= 2y use
t1*y1+((x-y)*(x-y)+(t1*y2+t2*y))
where t1 = 2x with lower 32 bits cleared, t2 = 2x-t1,
y1= y with lower 32 bits chopped, y2 = y-y1.


NOTE: scaling may be necessary if some argument is too
large or too tiny

Special cases:

hypot(x,y) is INF if x or y is +INF or -INF; else
hypot(x,y) is NAN if x or y is NAN.

Accuracy:

hypot(x,y) returns sqrt(x^2+y^2) with error less
than 1 ulps (units in the last place)

Definition at line 81 of file hypot.c.

Natural logarithm function (base e)

Method

1. Argument Reduction: find k and f such that
x = 2^k * (1+f),
where sqrt(2)/2 < 1+f < sqrt(2) .


2. Approximation of log(1+f).
Let s = f/(2+f) ; based on log(1+f) = log(1+s) - log(1-s)
= 2s + 2/3 s**3 + 2/5 s**5 + .....,
= 2s + s*R
We use a special Remes algorithm on [0,0.1716] to generate
a polynomial of degree 14 to approximate R The maximum error
of this polynomial approximation is bounded by 2**-58.45. In
other words,
2 4 6 8 10 12 14
R(z) ~ Lg1*s +Lg2*s +Lg3*s +Lg4*s +Lg5*s +Lg6*s +Lg7*s
(the values of Lg1 to Lg7 are listed in the program)
and
| 2 14 | -58.45
| Lg1*s +...+Lg7*s - R(z) | <= 2
| |
Note that 2s = f - s*f = f - hfsq + s*hfsq, where hfsq = f*f/2.
In order to guarantee error in log below 1ulp, we compute log
by
log(1+f) = f - s*(f - R) (if f is not too large)
log(1+f) = f - (hfsq - s*(hfsq+R)). (better accuracy)


3. Finally, log(x) = k*ln2 + log(1+f).
= k*ln2_hi+(f-(hfsq-(s*(hfsq+R)+k*ln2_lo)))
Here ln2 is split into two floating point number:
ln2_hi + ln2_lo,
where n*ln2_hi is always exact for |n| < 2000.

Special cases:

log(x) is NaN with signal if x < 0 (including -INF) ;
log(+INF) is +INF; log(0) is -INF with signal;
log(NaN) is that NaN with no signal.

Accuracy:

according to an error analysis, the error is always less than
1 ulp (unit in the last place).

Constants:
The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following
constants. The decimal values may be used, provided that the
compiler will convert from decimal to binary accurately enough
to produce the hexadecimal values shown.

Base 10 logarithm function.

Method:

Let log10_2hi = leading 40 bits of log10(2) and
log10_2lo = log10(2) - log10_2hi,
ivln10 = 1/log(10) rounded. Then
n = ilogb(x),
if(n<0) n = n+1;
x = scalbn(x,-n);
log10(x) := n*log10_2hi + (n*log10_2lo + ivln10*log(x)) Note 1: To guarantee log10(10**n)=n, where 10**n is normal, the rounding mode must set to Round-to-Nearest. Note 2: [1/log(10)] rounded to 53 bits has error .198 ulps; log10 is monotonic at all binary break points.


Special cases:

log10(x) is NaN with signal if x < 0; log10(+INF) is +INF with no signal; log10(0) is -INF with signal; log10(NaN) is that NaN with no signal; log10(10**N) = N for N=0,1,...,22.

Accuracy:

pow(x,y) returns x**y nearly rounded. In particular
pow(integer,integer)
always returns the correct integer provided it is
representable.

Constants :
The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following
constants. The decimal values may be used, provided that the
compiler will convert from decimal to binary accurately enough
to produce the hexadecimal values shown.

Kernel function:

__kernel_sin ... sine function on [-pi/4,pi/4] __kernel_cos ... cose function on [-pi/4,pi/4] __ieee754_rem_pio2 ... argument reduction routine


Method:

Let S,C and T denote the sin, cos and tan respectively on [-PI/4, +PI/4]. Reduce the argument x to y1+y2 = x-k*pi/2 in [-pi/4 , +pi/4], and let n = k mod 4. We have
n sin(x) cos(x) tan(x) ----------------------------------------------------------
0 S C T
1 C -S -1/T
2 -S -C T
3 -C S -1/T ----------------------------------------------------------


Special cases:

Let trig be any of sin, cos, or tan. trig(+-INF) is NaN trig(NaN) is that NaN


Accuracy:

Definition at line 86 of file sin.c.

Hyperbolic sine function.

Method
mathematically sinh(x) if defined to be (exp(x)-exp(-x))/2

1. Replace x by |x| (sinh(-x) = -sinh(x)).
2.
E + E/(E+1)
0 <= x <= 22 : sinh(x) := --------------, E=expm1(x)
2


22 <= x <= lnovft : sinh(x) := exp(x)/2
lnovft <= x <= ln2ovft: sinh(x) := exp(x/2)/2 * exp(x/2)
ln2ovft < x : sinh(x) := x*shuge (overflow)

Special cases

sinh(x) is |x| if x is +INF, -INF, or NaN.
only sinh(0)=0 is exact for finite x.

Definition at line 77 of file sinh.c.

Square root function.

Returns:

Correctly rounded sqrt

Method:

Bit by bit method using integer arithmetic. (Slow, but portable)
1. Normalization
Scale x to y in [1,4) with even powers of 2:
find an integer k such that 1 <= (y=x*2^(2k)) < 4, then
sqrt(x) = 2^k * sqrt(y)
2. Bit by bit computation
Let q = sqrt(y) truncated to i bit after binary point (q = 1),
i 0
i+1 2
s = 2*q , and y = 2 * ( y - q ). (1)
i i i i


To compute q from q , one checks whether
i+1 i


-(i+1) 2


(q + 2 ) <= y. (2)
i
-(i+1)
If (2) is false, then q = q ; otherwise q = q + 2 .
i+1 i i+1 i


With some algebric manipulation, it is not difficult to see
that (2) is equivalent to
-(i+1)
s + 2 <= y (3)
i i


The advantage of (3) is that s and y can be computed by
i i
the following recurrence formula:
if (3) is false


s = s , y = y ; (4)
i+1 i i+1 i


otherwise,
-i -(i+1)
s = s + 2 , y = y - s - 2 (5)
i+1 i i+1 i i


One may easily use induction to prove (4) and (5).
Note. Since the left hand side of (3) contain only i+2 bits,
it does not necessary to do a full (53-bit) comparison
in (3).
3. Final rounding
After generating the 53 bits result, we compute one more bit.
Together with the remainder, we can decide whether the
result is exact, bigger than 1/2ulp, or less than 1/2ulp
(it will never equal to 1/2ulp).
The rounding mode can be detected by checking whether
huge + tiny is equal to huge, and whether huge - tiny is
equal to huge for some floating point number 'huge' and 'tiny'.

Special cases:

sqrt(+-0) = +-0 ... exact
sqrt(inf) = inf
sqrt(-ve) = NaN ... with invalid signal
sqrt(NaN) = NaN ... with invalid signal for signaling NaN

n sin(x) cos(x) tan(x) ----------------------------------------------------------

1 C -S -1/T
2 -S -C T
3 -C S -1/T ----------------------------------------------------------
