+/* COSH(X)
+ * RETURN THE HYPERBOLIC COSINE OF X
+ * DOUBLE PRECISION (VAX D format 56 bits, IEEE DOUBLE 53 BITS)
+ * CODED IN C BY K.C. NG, 1/8/85;
+ * REVISED BY K.C. NG on 2/8/85, 2/23/85, 3/7/85, 3/29/85, 4/16/85.
+ *
+ * Required system supported functions :
+ * copysign(x,y)
+ * scalb(x,N)
+ *
+ * Required kernel function:
+ * exp(x)
+ * exp__E(x,c) ...return exp(x+c)-1-x for |x|<0.3465
+ *
+ * Method :
+ * 1. Replace x by |x|.
+ * 2.
+ * [ exp(x) - 1 ]^2
+ * 0 <= x <= 0.3465 : cosh(x) := 1 + -------------------
+ * 2*exp(x)
+ *
+ * exp(x) + 1/exp(x)
+ * 0.3465 <= x <= 22 : cosh(x) := -------------------
+ * 2
+ * 22 <= x <= lnovfl : cosh(x) := exp(x)/2
+ * lnovfl <= x <= lnovfl+log(2)
+ * : cosh(x) := exp(x)/2 (avoid overflow)
+ * log(2)+lnovfl < x < INF: overflow to INF
+ *
+ * Note: .3465 is a number near one half of ln2.
+ *
+ * Special cases:
+ * cosh(x) is x if x is +INF, -INF, or NAN.
+ * only cosh(0)=1 is exact for finite x.
+ *
+ * Accuracy:
+ * cosh(x) returns the exact hyperbolic cosine of x nearly rounded.
+ * In a test run with 768,000 random arguments on a VAX, the maximum
+ * observed error was 1.23 ulps (units 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.
