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

24  * Required system supported functions :
25  *	sqrt(x)
26  *
27  * Required kernel function:
28  *	log1p(x) 		...return log(1+x)
29  *
30  * Method :
31  *	Based on
32  *		acosh(x) = log [ x + sqrt(x*x-1) ]
33  *	we have
34  *		acosh(x) := log1p(x)+ln2,	if (x > 1.0E20); else
35  *		acosh(x) := log1p( sqrt(x-1) * (sqrt(x-1) + sqrt(x+1)) ) .
36  *	These formulae avoid the over/underflow complication.
37  *
38  * Special cases:
39  *	acosh(x) is NaN with signal if x<1.
40  *	acosh(NaN) is NaN without signal.
41  *
42  * Accuracy:
43  *	acosh(x) returns the exact inverse hyperbolic cosine of x nearly
44  *	rounded. In a test run with 512,000 random arguments on a VAX, the
45  *	maximum observed error was 3.30 ulps (units of the last place) at
46  *	x=1.0070493753568216 .
47  *
48  * Constants:
49  * The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following constants.
50  * The decimal values may be used, provided that the compiler will convert
51  * from decimal to binary accurately enough to produce the hexadecimal values
52  * shown.
