linearfrac

Computes the element-wise linear fractional transformation of vectors a and b with scalar parameters.

Description

The linearfrac(a,b,scalea,shifta,scaleb,shiftb) function performs a linear fraction transformation of vector a by vector b with scalar parameters: scaling multipliers scalea, scaleb and shifting addends shifta, shiftb:

y[i]=(scalea·a[i]+shifta)/(scaleb·b[i]+shiftb), i=1,2 … n

The linearfrac function is implemented in the EP accuracy mode only, therefore no special values are defined for this function. If used in HA or LA mode, linearfrac sets the VM Error Status to status::accuracy_warning. Correctness is guaranteed within the threshold limitations defined for each input parameter (see the table below); otherwise, the behavior is unspecified.

Threshold Limitations on Input Parameters

2EMIN/2≤ |scalea| 2(EMAX-2)/2

2EMIN/2≤ |scaleb| 2(EMAX-2)/2

|shifta| 2EMAX-2

|shiftb| 2EMAX-2

2EMIN/2≤a[i] 2(EMAX-2)/2

2EMIN/2≤b[i] 2(EMAX-2)/2

a[i] - (shifta/scalea)*(1-δ1), |δ1| 21-(p-1)/2

b[i] - (shiftb/scaleb)*(1-δ2), |δ2| 21-(p-1)/2

EMIN and EMAX are the minimum and maximum exponents and p is the number of significant bits (precision) for the corresponding data type according to the ANSI/IEEE Standard 754-2008 [IEEE754]:

  • for single precisionEMIN = -126, EMAX = 127, p = 24

  • for double precisionEMIN = -1022, EMAX = 1023, p = 53

The thresholds become less strict for common cases with scalea=0 and/or scaleb=0:

  • ifscalea=0, there are no limitations for the values of a[i] and shifta.

  • ifscaleb=0, there are no limitations for the values of b[i] and shiftb.
