- * 2. Approximation of log1p(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 + .....,
- * = 2s + s*R
- * We use a special Reme algorithm on [0,0.1716] to generate
- * a polynomial of degree 14 to approximate R The maximum error
- * of this polynomial approximation is bounded by 2**-58.45. In
- * other words,
- * 2 4 6 8 10 12 14
- * R(z) ~ Lp1*s +Lp2*s +Lp3*s +Lp4*s +Lp5*s +Lp6*s +Lp7*s
- * (the values of Lp1 to Lp7 are listed in the program)
- * and
- * | 2 14 | -58.45
- * | Lp1*s +...+Lp7*s - R(z) | <= 2
- * | |
- * 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)).
