Additional properties of the modulus and phase functions are given in
Young and Kirk (1964, pp. xi–xv). However, care needs to be exercised with
the branches of the phases. Thus this reference gives
(Eq. (6.10)), and
(Eqs. (10.20) and (Eqs. (10.26b)). However, numerical tabulations show that
if the second of these equations applies and
is
continuous, then
