/*							powil.c
 *
 *	Real raised to integer power, long double precision
 *
 *
 *
 * SYNOPSIS:
 *
 * long double x, y, powil();
 * int n;
 *
 * y = powil( x, n );
 *
 *
 *
 * DESCRIPTION:
 *
 * Returns argument x raised to the nth power.
 * The routine efficiently decomposes n as a sum of powers of
 * two. The desired power is a product of two-to-the-kth
 * powers of x.  Thus to compute the 32767 power of x requires
 * 28 multiplications instead of 32767 multiplications.
 *
 *
 *
 * ACCURACY:
 *
 *
 *                      Relative error:
 * arithmetic   x domain   n domain  # trials      peak         rms
 *    IEEE     .001,1000  -1022,1023  50000       4.3e-17     7.8e-18
 *    IEEE        1,2     -1022,1023  20000       3.9e-17     7.6e-18
 *    IEEE     .99,1.01     0,8700    10000       3.6e-16     7.2e-17
 *
 * Returns MAXNUM on overflow, zero on underflow.
