The argument reduction and adding the final 23 * term of the polynomial are done by the caller for increased accuracy 24 * when different bases are used. 25 * 26 * Method : 27 * 1. Argument Reduction: find k and f such that 28 * x = 2^k * (1+f), 29 * where sqrt(2)/2 < 1+f < sqrt(2) . 30 * 31 * 2. Approximation of log(1+f). 32 * Let s = f/(2+f) ; based on log(1+f) = log(1+s) - log(1-s) 33 * = 2s + 2/3 s**3 + 2/5 s**5 + ....., 34 * = 2s + s*R 35 * We use a special Reme algorithm on [0,0.1716] to generate 36 * a polynomial of degree 14 to approximate R The maximum error 37 * of this polynomial approximation is bounded by 2**-58.45.

(better accuracy) 51 * 52 * 3. Finally, log(x) = k*ln2 + log(1+f). 53 * = k*ln2_hi+(f-(hfsq-(s*(hfsq+R)+k*ln2_lo))) 54 * Here ln2 is split into two floating point number: 55 * ln2_hi + ln2_lo, 56 * where n*ln2_hi is always exact for |n| < 2000. 57 * 58 * Special cases: 59 * log(x) is NaN with signal if x < 0 (including -INF) ; 60 * log(+INF) is +INF; log(0) is -INF with signal; 61 * log(NaN) is that NaN with no signal. 62 * 63 * Accuracy: 64 * according to an error analysis, the error is always less than 65 * 1 ulp (unit in the last place). 66 * 67 * Constants: 68 * The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following 69 * constants.
