/* powil.c * * Real raised to integer power, long double precision * * * * SYNOPSIS: * * long double x, y, powil(); * int n; * * y = powil( x, n ); * * * * DESCRIPTION: * * Returns argument x raised to the nth power. * The routine efficiently decomposes n as a sum of powers of * two. The desired power is a product of two-to-the-kth * powers of x. Thus to compute the 32767 power of x requires * 28 multiplications instead of 32767 multiplications. * * * * ACCURACY: * * * Relative error: * arithmetic x domain n domain # trials peak rms * IEEE .001,1000 -1022,1023 50000 4.3e-17 7.8e-18 * IEEE 1,2 -1022,1023 20000 3.9e-17 7.6e-18 * IEEE .99,1.01 0,8700 10000 3.6e-16 7.2e-17 * * Returns MAXNUM on overflow, zero on underflow. * */ /* powil.c */ /* Cephes Math Library Release 2.2: December, 1990 Copyright 1984, 1990 by Stephen L.
