27 /* ACOSH(X)
28  * RETURN THE INVERSE HYPERBOLIC COSINE OF X
29  * DOUBLE PRECISION (VAX D FORMAT 56 BITS, IEEE DOUBLE 53 BITS)
30  * CODED IN C BY K.C. NG, 2/16/85;
31  * REVISED BY K.C. NG on 3/6/85, 3/24/85, 4/16/85, 8/17/85.

33  * Required system supported functions :
34  *	sqrt(x)
35  *
36  * Required kernel function:
37  *	log1p(x) 		...return log(1+x)
38  *
39  * Method :
40  *	Based on
41  *		acosh(x) = log [ x + sqrt(x*x-1) ]
42  *	we have
43  *		acosh(x) := log1p(x)+ln2,	if (x > 1.0E20); else
44  *		acosh(x) := log1p( sqrt(x-1) * (sqrt(x-1) + sqrt(x+1)) ) .
45  *	These formulae avoid the over/underflow complication.
46  *
47  * Special cases:
48  *	acosh(x) is NaN with signal if x<1.
49  *	acosh(NaN) is NaN without signal.
50  *
51  * Accuracy:
52  *	acosh(x) returns the exact inverse hyperbolic cosine of x nearly
53  *	rounded. In a test run with 512,000 random arguments on a VAX, the
54  *	maximum observed error was 3.30 ulps (units of the last place) at
55  *	x=1.0070493753568216 .
56  *
57  * Constants:
58  * The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following constants.
59  * The decimal values may be used, provided that the compiler will convert
60  * from decimal to binary accurately enough to produce the hexadecimal values
61  * shown.
