As David mentioned, logsumexp is probably the traditional name, but as
the earlier link shows, it also goes by logadd.  Given the distinction
between add (a ufunc) and sum (something done over an axis) within
numpy, it seems that logadd or logaddexp is probably a more fitting
name.  So long as it is documented, I doubt it matters much though...
