@lhf, can be as large as 10^9.

@lhf, Fast and in checking among n such pairs of numbers, n/10 could go wrong. Could you please help me deduce what accuracy I'm looking for?

| Oct 7, 2013 at 10:39 | comment | added | pitchounet | You can test if $\ln(y) + \ln \big( \ln(x) \big) > \ln(x) + \ln \big( \ln(y) \big)$. | |
