Precision Overflow Thresholds for Real v?Powx Function
Data Type Threshold Limitations on Input Parameters
single precision abs(a[i]) < ( FLT_MAX )1/b
double precision abs(a[i]) < ( DBL_MAX )1/b

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

Description

y

float* for vsPowx, vmsPowx

double* for vdPowx, vmdPowx

MKL_Complex8* for vcPowx, vmcPowx

MKL_Complex16* for vzPowx, vmzPowx

Pointer to an array that contains the output vector y.

Description

The v?Powx function computes a to the power b for a vector a and a scalar b.

The real function v(s/d)Powx has certain limitations on the input range of a and b parameters. Specifically, if a[i] is positive, then b may be arbitrary. For negative a[i], the value of b must be an integer (either positive or negative).

The complex function v(c/z)Powx has no input range limitations.

Special values and VM Error Status treatment are the same as for the v?Pow function.
