18/* ACOSH(X)
19 * RETURN THE INVERSE HYPERBOLIC COSINE OF X
20 * DOUBLE PRECISION (VAX D FORMAT 56 BITS, IEEE DOUBLE 53 BITS)
21 * CODED IN C BY K.C. NG, 2/16/85;
22 * REVISED BY K.C. NG on 3/6/85, 3/24/85, 4/16/85, 8/17/85.
23 *
24 * Required system supported functions :
25 * sqrt(x)
26 *
27 * Required kernel function:
28 * log1p(x) ...return log(1+x)
29 *
30 * Method :
31 * Based on
32 * acosh(x) = log [ x + sqrt(x*x-1) ]
33 * we have
34 * acosh(x) := log1p(x)+ln2, if (x > 1.0E20); else
35 * acosh(x) := log1p( sqrt(x-1) * (sqrt(x-1) + sqrt(x+1)) ) .
36 * These formulae avoid the over/underflow complication.
37 *
38 * Special cases:
39 * acosh(x) is NaN with signal if x<1.
40 * acosh(NaN) is NaN without signal.
41 *
42 * Accuracy:
43 * acosh(x) returns the exact inverse hyperbolic cosine of x nearly
44 * rounded. In a test run with 512,000 random arguments on a VAX, the
45 * maximum observed error was 3.30 ulps (units of the last place) at
46 * x=1.0070493753568216 .
47 *
48 * Constants:
49 * The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following constants.
50 * The decimal values may be used, provided that the compiler will convert
51 * from decimal to binary accurately enough to produce the hexadecimal values
52 * shown.
