Abstract
This paper describes a single unified algorithm for the calculation of elementary functions including multiplication, division, sin, cos, tan, arctan, sinh, cosh, tanh, arctanh, In, exp and square-root The basis for the algorithm is coordinate rotation in a linear, circular, or hyperbolic coordinate system depending on which function is to be calculated The only operations required are shifting, adding, subtracting and the recall of prestored constants The limited domain of convergence of the algorithm is calculated, leading to a discussion of the modifications required to extend the domain for floating point calculations

Comparison of logarithmic and floating-point number systems implemented on Xilinx Virtex-II field-programmable gate arrays

TL;DR: The results show that the LNS is beneficial for larger characteristics than 6-bits only for specialist applications that require a high portion of division, multiplication, square root, powering operations and few additions, and for larger characteristic lengths the floating-point system is more efficient.

Considerations for design of a complex multiplier

TL;DR: The design of a multiplier for the multiplication of complex numbers is considered, which shares the Booth encoding for the real and imaginary parts, with only one Wallace tree of 4:2 adders for each part.
