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

Numerical stability properties of a QR-based fast least squares algorithm

TL;DR: The numerical stability of a recent QR-based fast least-squares algorithm is established from a backward stability perspective, which frees the analysis of stationary assumptions on the filtered sequences and obviates the tedious linearization methods of previous approaches.

Efficient implementation of rotation operations for high performance QRD-RLS filtering

TL;DR: It is shown via computer simulations that the convergence behavior of the scheme using approximate Givens rotations is insensitive to the value of r, and that the misadjustment error decreases as r is increased, opening zip possibilities for "incremental refinement" strategies.
