5 Arguments

1: $\mathbf{x}$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input

On entry: if $\mathbf{offset}=\mathrm{.TRUE.}$, x is the offset $\Delta x$ from $-\exp \left(-1\right)$ of the intended argument to $W$; that is, $W\left(\beta \right)$ is computed, where $\beta =-\exp \left(-1\right)+\Delta x$.

If $\mathbf{offset}=\mathrm{.FALSE.}$, x is the argument $x$ of the function; that is, $W\left(\beta \right)$ is computed, where $\beta =x$.

Constraints:

• if $\mathbf{branch}=0$, $-\exp \left(-1\right)\le \beta$;
• if $\mathbf{branch}=-1$, $-\exp \left(-1\right)\le \beta <0.0$.

2: $\mathbf{branch}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the real branch required.

$\mathbf{branch}=0$

The branch $W_0$ is selected.

$\mathbf{branch}=-1$

The branch $W_{-1}$ is selected.

Constraint: $\mathbf{branch}=0$ or $-1$.

3: $\mathbf{offset}$ – Logical Input

On entry: controls whether or not x is being specified as an offset from $-\exp \left(-1\right)$.

4: $\mathbf{ifail}$ – Integer Input/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to $0$, $-1\text{ or }1$. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 4 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for details.

For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value $-1\text{ or }1$ is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, because for this routine the values of the output arguments may be useful even if $\mathbf{ifail}\ne \mathbf{0}$ on exit, the recommended value is $-1$. When the value $-\mathbf{1}\text{ or }1$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit: $\mathbf{ifail}=\mathbf{0}$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

$\mathbf{ifail}=1$

On entry, $\mathbf{branch}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{branch}=0$ or $-1$.

On entry, $\mathbf{branch}=-1$, $\mathbf{offset}=\mathrm{.FALSE.}$ and $\mathbf{x}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: if $\mathbf{branch}=-1$ and $\mathbf{offset}=\mathrm{.FALSE.}$ then $\mathbf{x}<0.0$.

On entry, $\mathbf{branch}=-1$, $\mathbf{offset}=\mathrm{.TRUE.}$ and $\mathbf{x}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: if $\mathbf{branch}=-1$ and $\mathbf{offset}=\mathrm{.TRUE.}$ then $\mathbf{x}<\exp \left(-1.0\right)$.

On entry, $\mathbf{offset}=\mathrm{.FALSE.}$ and $\mathbf{x}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: if $\mathbf{offset}=\mathrm{.FALSE.}$ then $\mathbf{x}\ge -\exp \left(-1.0\right)$.

On entry, $\mathbf{offset}=\mathrm{.TRUE.}$ and $\mathbf{x}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: if $\mathbf{offset}=\mathrm{.TRUE.}$ then $\mathbf{x}\ge 0.0$.

$\mathbf{ifail}=2$

For the given offset x, $W$ is negligibly different from $-1$: $\mathbf{x}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.

x is close to $-\exp \left(-1\right)$. Enter x as an offset to $-\exp \left(-1\right)$ for greater accuracy: $\mathbf{x}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
