In radians, the computation of zSIN(X) and zCOS(X) is based on the following polynomial expansions:

Data Type m
F_floating 0
D_floating 1
G_floating 1
H_floating 3

In general, Run-Time Library routines with JSB entry points return one value in R0:Rm. The MTH$xSINCOSD routine returns two values, however. The sine of angle-in-degrees is returned in R0:Rm and the cosine of angle-in-degrees is returned in (R<m+1>:R<2*m+1>).

In degrees, the computation of zSIND(X) and zCOSD(X) is based on the following polynomial expansions:

  1. If |X| <(180/Pi sign)*2-2^e-1 and underflow signaling is enabled,
    underflow is signaled for zSIND(X) and zSINCOSD(X).
    (See MTH$zCOSH for the definition of e.)
    otherwise:
  2. If |X| < (180/Pi sign)*2(-f/2),
    then zSIND(X)= (Pi sign/180)*X and zCOSD(X) = 1.
    (See MTH$zCOSH for the definition of f.)
  3. If (180/Pi sign)*2(-f/2) <= |X| < 45
    then zSIND(X) = X/26 + P(X2)
    and zCOSD(X) = Q(X2)
  4. If 45 <= |X| and X > 0,
    1. Let J = INT(X/(45)) and
      I = J modulo 8
    2. If J is even, let Y = X - J*45 ;
      otherwise, let Y = (J+1)*45 - X .
      With the above definitions, the following table relates
      zSIND(X) and zCOSD(X) to zSIND(Y) and zCOSD(Y):
      Value of I zSIND(X) zCOSD(X)
      0 zSIND(Y) zCOSD(Y)
      1 zCOSD(Y) zSIND(Y)
      2 zCOSD(Y) -zSIND(Y)
      3 zSIND(Y) -zCOSD(Y)
      4 -zSIND(Y) -zCOSD(Y)
      5 -zCOSD(Y) -zSIND(Y)
      6 -zCOSD(Y) zSIND(Y)
      7 -zSIND(Y) zCOSD(Y)
    3. zSIND(Y) and zCOSD(Y) are computed as follows:
      zSIND(Y) = Y/26 + P(Y2)
      zCOSD(Y) = Q(Y2)
    4. If 45 <= |X| and X < 0,
      then zSIND(X) = -zSIND(|X|)
      and zCOSD(X) = zCOSD(|X|)

Argument

floating-point-input-value


OpenVMS usage: floating_point
type: F_floating, D_floating, G_floating
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

The input value. The floating-point-input-value argument is the address of a floating-point number that is this value. For MTH$SINH, floating-point-input-value specifies an F-floating number. For MTH$DSINH, floating-point-input-value specifies a D-floating number. For MTH$GSINH, floating-point-input-value specifies a G-floating number.

Description

Computation of the hyperbolic sine function depends on the magnitude of the input argument. The range of the function is partitioned using four data type dependent constants: a(z), b(z), and c(z). The subscript z indicates the data type. The constants depend on the number of exponent bits (e) and the number of fraction bits (f) associated with the data type (z).

The values of e and f are:
z e f
F 8 24
D 8 56
G 11 53

The values of the constants in terms of e and f are:
Variable Value
a(z) 2 (-f/2)
b(z) CEILING[ (f+1)/2*ln(2) ]
c(z) (2 (e-1)*ln(2))

Based on the above definitions, zSINH(X) is computed as follows:
Value of X Value Returned
|X| < a(z) X
a(z) <= |X| < 1.0 zSINH(X) is computed using a
power series expansion in |X| 2
1.0 <= |X| < b(z) (zEXP(X) - zEXP(-X))/2
b(z) <= |X| < c(z) SIGN(X)*zEXP(|X|)/2
c(z) <= |X| Overflow occurs

See MTH$HSINH for the description of the H-floating point version of this routine.


Condition Values Signaled

SS$_ROPRAND Reserved operand. The MTH$HTANH routine encountered a floating-point reserved operand (a floating-point datum with a sign bit of 1 and a biased exponent of 0) due to incorrect user input. Floating-point reserved operands are reserved for use by Digital.
MTH$_FLOOVEMAT Floating-point overflow in Math Library: the absolute value of floating-point-input-value is greater than yyy. LIB$SIGNAL copies the floating-point reserved operand to the mechanism argument vector CHF$L_MCH_SAVR0/R1. The result is the floating-point reserved operand unless you have written a condition handler to change CHF$L_MCH_SAVR0/R1.

The values of yyy are approximately:

  • MTH$SINH---88.722
  • MTH$DSINH---88.722
  • MTH$GSINH---709.782
