*DECK EXPREL FUNCTION EXPREL (X) C***BEGIN PROLOGUE EXPREL C***PURPOSE Calculate the relative error exponential (EXP(X)-1)/X. C***LIBRARY SLATEC (FNLIB) C***CATEGORY C4B C***TYPE SINGLE PRECISION (EXPREL-S, DEXPRL-D, CEXPRL-C) C***KEYWORDS ELEMENTARY FUNCTIONS, EXPONENTIAL, FIRST ORDER, FNLIB C***AUTHOR Fullerton, W., (LANL) C***DESCRIPTION C C Evaluate EXPREL(X) = (EXP(X) - 1.0) / X. For small ABS(X) the C Taylor series is used. If X is negative, the reflection formula C EXPREL(X) = EXP(X) * EXPREL(ABS(X)) C may be used. This reflection formula will be of use when the C evaluation for small ABS(X) is done by Chebyshev series rather than C Taylor series. EXPREL and X are single precision.
