/*							expx2.c
 *
 *	Exponential of squared argument
 *
 *
 *
 * SYNOPSIS:
 *
 * double x, y, expx2();
 * int sign;
 *
 * y = expx2( x, sign );
 *
 *
 *
 * DESCRIPTION:
 *
 * Computes y = md_exp(x*x) while suppressing error amplification
 * that would ordinarily arise from the inexactness of the
 * exponential argument x*x.
 *
 * If sign < 0, the result is inverted; i.e., y = md_exp(-x*x) .
 * 
 *
 * ACCURACY:
 *
 *                      Relative error:
 * arithmetic    domain     # trials      peak         rms
 *   IEEE      -26.6, 26.6    10^7       3.9e-16     8.9e-17
 *
