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

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.
