<p>
There is no <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">log</span></code> or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">sqrt</span></code> provided for octonions in this implementation,
and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">pow</span></code> is likewise restricted
to integral powers of the exponent. There are several reasons to this: on the
one hand, the equivalent of analytic continuation for octonions ("branch
cuts") remains to be investigated thoroughly (by me, at any rate...),
and we wish to avoid the nonsense introduced in the standard by exponentiations
of complexes by complexes (which is well defined, but not in the standard...).
Talking of nonsense, saying that <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">pow</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">0</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="number">0</span><span class="special">)</span></code> is "implementation
defined" is just plain brain-dead...
</p>
<p>
We do, however provide several transcendentals, chief among which is the exponential.
That it allows for a "closed formula" is a result of the author (the
existence and definition of the exponential, on the octonions among others,
on the other hand, is a few centuries old). Basically, any converging power
series with real coefficients which allows for a closed formula in <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>C</strong></span></em></span> can be transposed to <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>O</strong></span></em></span>. More transcendentals of this type could
be added in a further revision upon request. It should be noted that it is
these functions which force the dependency upon the <a href="../../../../../boost/math/special_functions/sinc.hpp" target="_top">boost/math/special_functions/sinc.hpp</a>
and the <a href="../../../../../boost/math/special_functions/sinhc.hpp" target="_top">boost/math/special_functions/sinhc.hpp</a>
headers.
