log1p

Compute log(1+x) accurately for small values of x

Syntax

y = log1p(x)


Description

y = log1p(x) computes log(1+x), compensating for the roundoff in 1+x. log1p(x) is more accurate than log(1+x) for small values of x. For small x, log1p(x) is approximately x, whereas log(1+x) can be zero.

Extended Capabilities

GPU Arrays

Accelerate code by running on a graphics processing unit (GPU) using Parallel Computing Toolbox™.

Usage notes and limitations:

• If the output of the function running on the GPU can be complex, then you must explicitly specify its input arguments as complex. For more information, see Work with Complex Numbers on a GPU (Parallel Computing Toolbox).
