1: 19.38 Approximations

… ►Minimax polynomial approximations (§3.11(i)) for $K\left(k\right)$ and $E\left(k\right)$ in terms of $m=k^2$ with can be found in Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, §17.3) with maximum absolute errors ranging from 4×10⁻⁵ to 2×10⁻⁸. Approximations of the same type for $K\left(k\right)$ and $E\left(k\right)$ for are given in Cody (1965a) with maximum absolute errors ranging from 4×10⁻⁵ to 4×10⁻¹⁸. …

… ►

DiDonato (1978) gives a simple approximation for the function $F(p,x)=x^{-p}{\mathrm{e}}^{x^2/2}{\int }_x^{\mathrm{\infty }}{\mathrm{e}}^{-t^2/2}{t}^{p}dt$ (which is related to the incomplete gamma function by a change of variables) for real $p$ and large positive $x$. This takes the form $F(p,x)=4x/h(p,x)$, approximately, where $h(p,x)=3(x^2-p)+\sqrt{{(x^2-p)}^2+8(x^2+p)}$ and is shown to produce an absolute error $O\left(x^{-7}\right)$ as $x\to \mathrm{\infty }$.
