/* The wrapper for gamma function from OpenCL and standard libraries The OpenCL gamma function fails miserably on values lower than 1.0 while works fine on larger values. We use gamma definition Gamma(t + 1) = t * Gamma(t) to compute to function for values lower than 1.0. Namely Gamma(t) = 1/t * Gamma(t + 1) For t < 0, we use Gamma(t) = pi / ( Gamma(1 - t) * sin(pi * t) ) */ #if defined(NEED_TGAMMA) static double cephes_stirf(double x) { const double MAXSTIR=143.01608; const double SQTPI=2.50662827463100050242E0; double y, w, v; w = 1.0 / x; w = (((( 7.87311395793093628397E-4*w - 2.29549961613378126380E-4)*w - 2.68132617805781232825E-3)*w + 3.47222221605458667310E-3)*w + 8.33333333333482257126E-2)*w + 1.0; y = exp(x); if (x > MAXSTIR) { /* Avoid overflow in pow() */ v = pow(x, 0.5 * x - 0.25); y = v * (v / y); } else { y = pow(x, x - 0.5) / y; } y = SQTPI * y * w; return(y); } static double tgamma(double x) { double p, q, z; int sgngam; int i; sgngam = 1; if (isnan(x)) return(x); q = fabs(x); if (q > 33.0) { if (x < 0.0) { p = floor(q); if (p == q) { return (NAN); } i = p; if ((i & 1) == 0) sgngam = -1; z = q - p; if (z > 0.5) { p += 1.0; z = q - p; } z = q * sin(M_PI * z); if (z == 0.0) { return(NAN); } z = fabs(z); z = M_PI / (z * cephes_stirf(q)); } else { z = cephes_stirf(x); } return(sgngam * z); } z = 1.0; while (x >= 3.0) { x -= 1.0; z *= x; } while (x < 0.0) { if (x > -1.E-9) goto small; z /= x; x += 1.0; } while (x < 2.0) { if (x < 1.e-9) goto small; z /= x; x += 1.0; } if (x == 2.0) return(z); x -= 2.0; p = ((((( +1.60119522476751861407E-4*x + 1.19135147006586384913E-3)*x + 1.04213797561761569935E-2)*x + 4.76367800457137231464E-2)*x + 2.07448227648435975150E-1)*x + 4.94214826801497100753E-1)*x + 9.99999999999999996796E-1; q = (((((( -2.31581873324120129819E-5*x + 5.39605580493303397842E-4)*x - 4.45641913851797240494E-3)*x + 1.18139785222060435552E-2)*x + 3.58236398605498653373E-2)*x - 2.34591795718243348568E-1)*x + 7.14304917030273074085E-2)*x + 1.00000000000000000320E0; return(z * p / q); small: if (x == 0.0) { return (NAN); } else return(z / ((1.0 + 0.5772156649015329 * x) * x)); } #endif // NEED_TGAMMA inline double sas_gamma(double x) { // Note: the builtin tgamma can give slow and unreliable results for x<1. // The following transform extends it to zero and to negative values. // It should return NaN for zero and negative integers but doesn't. // The accuracy is okay but not wonderful for negative numbers, maybe // one or two digits lost in the calculation.
