/*							powi.c
 *
 *	Real raised to integer power
 *
 *
 *
 * SYNOPSIS:
 *
 * double x, y, powi();
 * int n;
 *
 * y = powi( 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
 *    DEC       .04,26     -26,26    100000       2.7e-16     4.3e-17
 *    IEEE      .04,26     -26,26     50000       2.0e-15     3.8e-16
 *    IEEE        1,2    -1022,1023   50000       8.6e-14     1.6e-14
 *
 * Returns MAXNUM on overflow, zero on underflow.
 *
