+ * Since asin(x) = x + x^3/6 + x^5*3/40 + x^7*15/336 + ...
+ * we approximate asin(x) on [0,0.5] by
+ * asin(x) = x + x*x^2*R(x^2)
+ * where
+ * R(x^2) is a rational approximation of (asin(x)-x)/x^3
+ * and its remez error is bounded by
+ * |(asin(x)-x)/x^3 - R(x^2)| < 2^(-58.75)
+ *
+ * For x in [0.5,1]
+ * asin(x) = pi/2-2*asin(sqrt((1-x)/2))
+ * Let y = (1-x), z = y/2, s := sqrt(z), and pio2_hi+pio2_lo=pi/2;
+ * then for x>0.98
+ * asin(x) = pi/2 - 2*(s+s*z*R(z))
+ * = pio2_hi - (2*(s+s*z*R(z)) - pio2_lo)
+ * For x<=0.98, let pio4_hi = pio2_hi/2, then
+ * f = hi part of s;
+ * c = sqrt(z) - f = (z-f*f)/(s+f) ...f+c=sqrt(z)

+ * acos(-x) = pi/2 + asin(x)
+ * For |x|<=0.5
+ * acos(x) = pi/2 - (x + x*x^2*R(x^2)) (see asin.c)
+ * For x>0.5
+ * acos(x) = pi/2 - (pi/2 - 2asin(sqrt((1-x)/2)))

+ * = 2s + 2s*z*R(z) ...z=(1-x)/2, s=sqrt(z)
+ * = 2f + (2c + 2s*z*R(z))
+ * where f=hi part of s, and c = (z-f*f)/(s+f) is the correction term
+ * for f so that f+c ~ sqrt(z).
+ * For x<-0.5

+atan
+~~~~
+ * Method
+ * 1. Reduce x to positive by atan(x) = -atan(-x).
+ * 2. According to the integer k=4t+0.25 chopped, t=x, the argument
+ * is further reduced to one of the following intervals and the
+ * arctangent of t is evaluated by the corresponding formula:
+ *
+ * [0,7/16] atan(x) = t-t^3*(a1+t^2*(a2+...(a10+t^2*a11)...)
+ * [7/16,11/16] atan(x) = atan(1/2) + atan( (t-0.5)/(1+t/2) )

+ * [19/16,39/16] atan(x) = atan(3/2) + atan( (t-1.5)/(1+1.5t) )
+ * [39/16,INF] atan(x) = atan(INF) + atan( -1/t )

+exp
+~~~
+ * Method
+ * 1. Argument reduction:
+ * Reduce x to an r so that |r| <= 0.5*ln2 ~ 0.34658.
+ * Given x, find r and integer k such that
+ *
+ * x = k*ln2 + r, |r| <= 0.5*ln2.
+ *
+ * Here r will be represented as r = hi-lo for better
+ * accuracy.
+ *
+ * 2. Approximation of exp(r) by a special rational function on
+ * the interval [0,0.34658]:
+ * Write
+ * R(r**2) = r*(exp(r)+1)/(exp(r)-1) = 2 + r*r/6 - r**4/360 + ...
+ * We use a special Reme algorithm on [0,0.34658] to generate
+ * a polynomial of degree 5 to approximate R. The maximum error
+ * of this polynomial approximation is bounded by 2**-59. In
+ * other words,
+ * R(z) ~ 2.0 + P1*z + P2*z**2 + P3*z**3 + P4*z**4 + P5*z**5
+ * (where z=r*r, and the values of P1 to P5 are listed below)
+ * and
+ * | 5 | -59
+ * | 2.0+P1*z+...+P5*z - R(z) | <= 2
+ * | |
+ * The computation of exp(r) thus becomes
+ * 2*r
+ * exp(r) = 1 + -------
+ * R - r
+ * r*R1(r)
+ * = 1 + r + ----------- (for better accuracy)
+ * 2 - R1(r)
+ * where
+ * 2 4 10
+ * R1(r) = r - (P1*r + P2*r + ... + P5*r ).
+ *
+ * 3. Scale back to obtain exp(x):
+ * From step 1, we have
+ * exp(x) = 2^k * exp(r)

+hypot
+~~~~~
+ * If (assume round-to-nearest) z=x*x+y*y
+ * has error less than sqrt(2)/2 ulp, than
+ * sqrt(z) has error less than 1 ulp (exercise).
+ *
+ * So, compute sqrt(x*x+y*y) with some care as
+ * follows to get the error below 1 ulp:
+ *
+ * Assume x>y>0;
+ * (if possible, set rounding to round-to-nearest)
+ * 1. if x > 2y use
+ * x1*x1+(y*y+(x2*(x+x1))) for x*x+y*y
+ * where x1 = x with lower 32 bits cleared, x2 = x-x1; else
+ * 2. if x <= 2y use
+ * t1*y1+((x-y)*(x-y)+(t1*y2+t2*y))
+ * where t1 = 2x with lower 32 bits cleared, t2 = 2x-t1,
+ * y1= y with lower 32 bits chopped, y2 = y-y1.
+ *
+ * NOTE: scaling may be necessary if some argument is too
+ * large or too tiny

+j0/y0
+~~~~~
+ * Method -- j0(x):
+ * 1. For tiny x, we use j0(x) = 1 - x^2/4 + x^4/64 - ...
+ * 2. Reduce x to |x| since j0(x)=j0(-x), and
+ * for x in (0,2)
+ * j0(x) = 1-z/4+ z^2*R0/S0, where z = x*x;
+ * (precision: |j0-1+z/4-z^2R0/S0 |<2**-63.67 )
+ * for x in (2,inf)
+ * j0(x) = sqrt(2/(pi*x))*(p0(x)*cos(x0)-q0(x)*sin(x0))
+ * where x0 = x-pi/4. It is better to compute sin(x0),cos(x0)
+ * as follow:
+ * cos(x0) = cos(x)cos(pi/4)+sin(x)sin(pi/4)
+ * = 1/sqrt(2) * (cos(x) + sin(x))
+ * sin(x0) = sin(x)cos(pi/4)-cos(x)sin(pi/4)
+ * = 1/sqrt(2) * (sin(x) - cos(x))
+ * (To avoid cancellation, use
+ * sin(x) +- cos(x) = -cos(2x)/(sin(x) -+ cos(x))
+ * to compute the worse one.)
+ *
+ * Method -- y0(x):
+ * 1. For x<2.
+ * Since
+ * y0(x) = 2/pi*(j0(x)*(ln(x/2)+Euler) + x^2/4 - ...)
+ * therefore y0(x)-2/pi*j0(x)*ln(x) is an even function.
+ * We use the following function to approximate y0,
+ * y0(x) = U(z)/V(z) + (2/pi)*(j0(x)*ln(x)), z= x^2
+ * where
+ * U(z) = u00 + u01*z + ... + u06*z^6
+ * V(z) = 1 + v01*z + ... + v04*z^4
+ * with absolute approximation error bounded by 2**-72.
+ * Note: For tiny x, U/V = u0 and j0(x)~1, hence
+ * y0(tiny) = u0 + (2/pi)*ln(tiny), (choose tiny<2**-27)
+ * 2. For x>=2.
+ * y0(x) = sqrt(2/(pi*x))*(p0(x)*cos(x0)+q0(x)*sin(x0))
+ * where x0 = x-pi/4. It is better to compute sin(x0),cos(x0)
+ * by the method mentioned above.
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+j1/y1
+~~~~~
+ * Method -- j1(x):
+ * 1. For tiny x, we use j1(x) = x/2 - x^3/16 + x^5/384 - ...
+ * 2. Reduce x to |x| since j1(x)=-j1(-x), and
+ * for x in (0,2)
+ * j1(x) = x/2 + x*z*R0/S0, where z = x*x;
+ * (precision: |j1/x - 1/2 - R0/S0 |<2**-61.51 )
+ * for x in (2,inf)
+ * j1(x) = sqrt(2/(pi*x))*(p1(x)*cos(x1)-q1(x)*sin(x1))
+ * y1(x) = sqrt(2/(pi*x))*(p1(x)*sin(x1)+q1(x)*cos(x1))
+ * where x1 = x-3*pi/4. It is better to compute sin(x1),cos(x1)
+ * as follow:
+ * cos(x1) = cos(x)cos(3pi/4)+sin(x)sin(3pi/4)
+ * = 1/sqrt(2) * (sin(x) - cos(x))
+ * sin(x1) = sin(x)cos(3pi/4)-cos(x)sin(3pi/4)
+ * = -1/sqrt(2) * (sin(x) + cos(x))
+ * (To avoid cancellation, use
+ * sin(x) +- cos(x) = -cos(2x)/(sin(x) -+ cos(x))
+ * to compute the worse one.)
+ *
+ * Method -- y1(x):
+ * 1. screen out x<=0 cases: y1(0)=-inf, y1(x<0)=NaN
+ * 2. For x<2.
+ * Since
+ * y1(x) = 2/pi*(j1(x)*(ln(x/2)+Euler)-1/x-x/2+5/64*x^3-...)
+ * therefore y1(x)-2/pi*j1(x)*ln(x)-1/x is an odd function.
+ * We use the following function to approximate y1,
+ * y1(x) = x*U(z)/V(z) + (2/pi)*(j1(x)*ln(x)-1/x), z= x^2
+ * where for x in [0,2] (abs err less than 2**-65.89)
+ * U(z) = U0[0] + U0[1]*z + ... + U0[4]*z^4
+ * V(z) = 1 + v0[0]*z + ... + v0[4]*z^5
+ * Note: For tiny x, 1/x dominate y1 and hence
+ * y1(tiny) = -2/pi/tiny, (choose tiny<2**-54)
+ * 3. For x>=2.
+ * y1(x) = sqrt(2/(pi*x))*(p1(x)*sin(x1)+q1(x)*cos(x1))
+ * where x1 = x-3*pi/4. It is better to compute sin(x1),cos(x1)
+ * by method mentioned above.

+lgamma
+~~~~~~
+ * Method:
+ * 1. Argument Reduction for 0 < x <= 8
+ * Since gamma(1+s)=s*gamma(s), for x in [0,8], we may
+ * reduce x to a number in [1.5,2.5] by
+ * lgamma(1+s) = log(s) + lgamma(s)
+ * for example,
+ * lgamma(7.3) = log(6.3) + lgamma(6.3)
+ * = log(6.3*5.3) + lgamma(5.3)
+ * = log(6.3*5.3*4.3*3.3*2.3) + lgamma(2.3)
+ * 2. Polynomial approximation of lgamma around its
+ * minimun ymin=1.461632144968362245 to maintain monotonicity.
+ * On [ymin-0.23, ymin+0.27] (i.e., [1.23164,1.73163]), use
+ * Let z = x-ymin;
+ * lgamma(x) = -1.214862905358496078218 + z^2*poly(z)
+ * where
+ * poly(z) is a 14 degree polynomial.
+ * 2. Rational approximation in the primary interval [2,3]
+ * We use the following approximation:
+ * s = x-2.0;
+ * lgamma(x) = 0.5*s + s*P(s)/Q(s)
+ * with accuracy
+ * |P/Q - (lgamma(x)-0.5s)| < 2**-61.71
+ * Our algorithms are based on the following observation
+ *
+ * zeta(2)-1 2 zeta(3)-1 3
+ * lgamma(2+s) = s*(1-Euler) + --------- * s - --------- * s + ...
+ * 2 3
+ *
+ * where Euler = 0.5771... is the Euler constant, which is very
+ * close to 0.5.
+ *
+ * 3. For x>=8, we have
+ * lgamma(x)~(x-0.5)log(x)-x+0.5*log(2pi)+1/(12x)-1/(360x**3)+....
+ * (better formula:
+ * lgamma(x)~(x-0.5)*(log(x)-1)-.5*(log(2pi)-1) + ...)
+ * Let z = 1/x, then we approximation
+ * f(z) = lgamma(x) - (x-0.5)(log(x)-1)
+ * by
+ * 3 5 11
+ * w = w0 + w1*z + w2*z + w3*z + ... + w6*z
+ * where
+ * |w - f(z)| < 2**-58.74
+ *
+ * 4. For negative x, since (G is gamma function)
+ * -x*G(-x)*G(x) = pi/sin(pi*x),
+ * we have
+ * G(x) = pi/(sin(pi*x)*(-x)*G(-x))
+ * since G(-x) is positive, sign(G(x)) = sign(sin(pi*x)) for x<0
+ * Hence, for x<0, signgam = sign(sin(pi*x)) and
+ * lgamma(x) = log(|Gamma(x)|)
+ * = log(pi/(|x*sin(pi*x)|)) - lgamma(-x);
+ * Note: one should avoid compute pi*(-x) directly in the
+ * computation of sin(pi*(-x)).

+ *
+ * 2. Approximation of log(1+f).
+ * Let s = f/(2+f) ; based on log(1+f) = log(1+s) - log(1-s)
+ * = 2s + 2/3 s**3 + 2/5 s**5 + .....,

+ * We use a special Reme algorithm on [0,0.1716] to generate

+ * Note that 2s = f - s*f = f - hfsq + s*hfsq, where hfsq = f*f/2.
+ * In order to guarantee error in log below 1ulp, we compute log

+ * log(1+f) = f - (hfsq - s*(hfsq+R)). (better accuracy)

+ * 3. Finally, log(x) = k*ln2 + log(1+f).

+ * Here ln2 is split into two floating point number:

+ * i+1 2
+ * s = 2*q , and y = 2 * ( y - q ). (1)
+ * i i i i
+ *

+ * -(i+1)
+ * If (2) is false, then q = q ; otherwise q = q + 2 .

+ *
+ * With some algebric manipulation, it is not difficult to see
+ * that (2) is equivalent to

+ *
+ * The advantage of (3) is that s and y can be computed by

+ * 3. Final rounding
+ * After generating the 53 bits result, we compute one more bit.
+ * Together with the remainder, we can decide whether the

+ * (it will never equal to 1/2ulp).
+ * The rounding mode can be detected by checking whether

+ * Method
+ * 1. Argument reduction:

+ *
+ * Here a correction term c will be computed to compensate
+ * the error in r when rounded to a floating-point number.
+ *
+ * 2. Approximating expm1(r) by a special rational function on
+ * the interval [0,0.34658]:
+ * Since
+ * r*(exp(r)+1)/(exp(r)-1) = 2+ r^2/6 - r^4/360 + ...
+ * we define R1(r*r) by
+ * r*(exp(r)+1)/(exp(r)-1) = 2+ r^2/6 * R1(r*r)
+ * That is,
+ * R1(r**2) = 6/r *((exp(r)+1)/(exp(r)-1) - 2/r)
+ * = 6/r * ( 1 + 2.0*(1/(exp(r)-1) - 1/r))
+ * = 1 - r^2/60 + r^4/2520 - r^6/100800 + ...
+ * We use a special Reme algorithm on [0,0.347] to generate

+ * maximum error of this polynomial approximation is bounded
+ * by 2**-61. In other words,
+ * R1(z) ~ 1.0 + Q1*z + Q2*z**2 + Q3*z**3 + Q4*z**4 + Q5*z**5
+ * where Q1 = -1.6666666666666567384E-2,

+ * | 1.0+Q1*z+...+Q5*z - R1(z) | <= 2
+ * | |
+ *
+ * expm1(r) = exp(r)-1 is then computed by the following
+ * specific way which minimize the accumulation rounding error:
+ * 2 3
+ * r r [ 3 - (R1 + R1*r/2) ]
+ * expm1(r) = r + --- + --- * [--------------------]
+ * 2 2 [ 6 - r*(3 - R1*r/2) ]
+ *
+ * To compensate the error in the argument reduction, we use
+ * expm1(r+c) = expm1(r) + c + expm1(r)*c
+ * ~ expm1(r) + c + r*c
+ * Thus c+r*c will be added in as the correction terms for
+ * expm1(r+c). Now rearrange the term to avoid optimization
+ * screw up:
+ * ( 2 2 )
+ * ({ ( r [ R1 - (3 - R1*r/2) ] ) } r )
+ * expm1(r+c)~r - ({r*(--- * [--------------------]-c)-c} - --- )
+ * ({ ( 2 [ 6 - r*(3 - R1*r/2) ] ) } 2 )
+ * ( )
+ *
+ * = r - E
+ * 3. Scale back to obtain expm1(x):
+ * From step 1, we have
+ * expm1(x) = either 2^k*[expm1(r)+1] - 1
+ * = or 2^k*[expm1(r) + (1-2^-k)]
+ * 4. Implementation notes:
+ * (A). To save one multiplication, we scale the coefficient Qi
+ * to Qi*2^i, and replace z by (x^2)/2.
+ * (B). To achieve maximum accuracy, we compute expm1(x) by
+ * (i) if x < -56*ln2, return -1.0, (raise inexact if x!=inf)
+ * (ii) if k=0, return r-E
+ * (iii) if k=-1, return 0.5*(r-E)-0.5
+ * (iv) if k=1 if r < -0.25, return 2*((r+0.5)- E)
+ * else return 1.0+2.0*(r-E);
+ * (v) if (k<-2||k>56) return 2^k(1-(E-r)) - 1 (or exp(x)-1)
+ * (vi) if k <= 20, return 2^k((1-2^-k)-(E-r)), else
+ * (vii) return 2^k(1-((E+2^-k)-r))
+ *
+ * Special cases:
+ * expm1(INF) is INF, expm1(NaN) is NaN;
+ * expm1(-INF) is -1, and
+ * for finite argument, only expm1(0)=0 is exact.

+ *
+ * Note. If k=0, then f=x is exact. However, if k!=0, then f

+ * 2. Approximation of log1p(f).

+ * | |
+ * Note that 2s = f - s*f = f - hfsq + s*hfsq, where hfsq = f*f/2.
+ * In order to guarantee error in log below 1ulp, we compute log
+ * by
+ * log1p(f) = f - (hfsq - s*(hfsq+R)).
+ *
+ * 3. Finally, log1p(x) = k*ln2 + log1p(f).
+ * = k*ln2_hi+(f-(hfsq-(s*(hfsq+R)+k*ln2_lo)))
+ * Here ln2 is split into two floating point number:
