How Many Argument Digits are Needed to Produce n Result Digits?

2000 Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science  
In the LFT approach to Exact Real Arithmetic, we study the question how many argument digits are needed to produce a certain number of result digits. We present upper and lower boundsfor many simple functions and operations, and for exponential and square root.
