Exact semantics of configured powers and fused minus-one exponentials #
The configured operations refine the model kernels for every lawful storage codec. Their real semantics hold under the same domain conditions, independently of storage width. These are correctness results for certified comparison and exact fallback, not bounds on execution cost.
Configured power preserves the exact model result.
Configured base-two exponential preserves the exact model result.
Configured base-ten exponential preserves the exact model result.
Configured base-two exponential minus one preserves the fused model result.
Configured base-ten exponential minus one preserves the fused model result.
Nonnegative configured bases in the real domain round the exact real power once.
Negative configured bases with integral exponents round their exact rational power once.
A negative configured base with nonintegral exponent produces NaR.
Every finite configured base-two exponential rounds the exact real power.
Every finite configured base-ten exponential rounds the exact real power.
A finite configured base-two exponential minus one rounds the exact fused expression.
A finite configured base-ten exponential minus one rounds the exact fused expression.
