Domain-specific

• Arithmetic underflow
  • Underflow behavior depends on format, radix, exponent range, gradual underflow, rounding mode, tininess detection before or after rounding, flush-to-zero settings and exception semantics; it can degrade relative accuracy and destabilize iterative computations.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
