38 /* ACOSH(X)
39 * RETURN THE INVERSE HYPERBOLIC COSINE OF X
40 * DOUBLE PRECISION (VAX D FORMAT 56 BITS, IEEE DOUBLE 53 BITS)
41 * CODED IN C BY K.C. NG, 2/16/85;
42 * REVISED BY K.C. NG on 3/6/85, 3/24/85, 4/16/85, 8/17/85.
44 * Required system supported functions :
45 * sqrt(x)
47 * Required kernel function:
48 * log1p(x) ...return log(1+x)
50 * Method :
51 * Based on
52 * acosh(x) = log [ x + sqrt(x*x-1) ]
53 * we have
54 * acosh(x) := log1p(x)+ln2, if (x > 1.0E20); else
55 * acosh(x) := log1p( sqrt(x-1) * (sqrt(x-1) + sqrt(x+1)) ) .
56 * These formulae avoid the over/underflow complication.
58 * Special cases:
59 * acosh(x) is NaN with signal if x<1.
60 * acosh(NaN) is NaN without signal.
62 * Accuracy:
63 * acosh(x) returns the exact inverse hyperbolic cosine of x nearly
64 * rounded. In a test run with 512,000 random arguments on a VAX, the
65 * maximum observed error was 3.30 ulps (units of the last place) at
66 * x=1.0070493753568216 .
68 * Constants:
69 * The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following constants.
70 * The decimal values may be used, provided that the compiler will convert
71 * from decimal to binary accurately enough to produce the hexadecimal values
72 * shown.
