log1pd2

NAME

log1pd2 - return the base-e (natural) logarithms of one more than double elements

SYNOPSIS

Procedure call syntax:

#include <simdmath.h>

vector double log1pd2(vector double x);

Link with -lsimdmath

Inline call syntax:

#include <simdmath.h>

#include <log1pd2.h>

vector double _log1pd2(vector double x);

Parameters
x	input vector

DESCRIPTION

The log1pd2 function returns a vector of the natural logarithms of (1+x) for the corresponding element of x.

This function returns mathematically accurate values even when the corresponding element of x is near 0 because they use a different algorithm from the log function in the open interval (-0.5, 0.5). Outside this range the function defaults to the standard log routine.

RETURN VALUE

The function log1pd2 returns a double vector in which each element is defined as:

the natural logarithm for the corresponding element of (1+x).
If an element of x is less than 1, the corresponding element of the result is undefined.
