Input Parameters

Name

Type

Description

n

const MKL_INT

Precision Overflow Thresholds for Real v?Exp Function
Data Type Threshold Limitations on Input Parameters
single precision a[i] < Ln( FLT_MAX )
double precision a[i] < Ln( DBL_MAX )

Precision overflow thresholds for the complex v?Exp function are beyond the scope of this document.

Notes:

  • raises the INVALID exception when real or imaginary part of the argument is SNAN

  • raises the INVALID exception on argument z=-+i·QNAN

  • raises the OVERFLOW exception and sets the VM Error Status to VML_STATUS_OVERFLOW in the case of overflow, that is, when both RE(z) and IM(z) are finite non-zero numbers, but the real or imaginary part of the exact result is so large that it does not meet the target precision.
