11: 18.40 Methods of Computation
In what follows we consider only the simple, illustrative, case that μ ( x ) is continuously differentiable so that d μ ( x ) = w ( x ) d x , with w ( x ) real, positive, and continuous on a real interval [ a , b ] . The strategy will be to: 1) use the moments to determine the recursion coefficients α n , β n of equations (18.2.11_5) and (18.2.11_8); then, 2) to construct the quadrature abscissas x i and weights (or Christoffel numbers) w i from the J-matrix of §3.5(vi), equations (3.5.31) and(3.5.32). These quadrature weights and abscissas will then allow construction of a convergent sequence of approximations to w ( x ) , as will be considered in the following paragraphs. … A simple set of choices is spelled out in Gordon (1968) which gives a numerically stable algorithm for direct computation of the recursion coefficients in terms of the moments, followed by construction of the J-matrix and quadrature weights and abscissas, and we will follow this approach: Let N be a positive integer and define …
Histogram Approach
In what follows this is accomplished in two ways: i) via the Lagrange interpolation of §3.3(i) ; and ii) by constructing a pointwise continued fraction, or PWCF, as follows: …
12: 31.8 Solutions via Quadratures
the Hermite–Darboux method (see Whittaker and Watson (1927, pp. 570–572)) can be applied to construct solutions of (31.2.1) expressed in quadratures, as follows. … The solutions in this section are finite-term Liouvillean solutions which can be constructed via Kovacic’s algorithm; see §31.14(ii).
13: 7.20 Mathematical Applications
The complementary error function also plays a ubiquitous role in constructing exponentially-improved asymptotic expansions and providing a smooth interpretation of the Stokes phenomenon; see §§2.11(iii) and 2.11(iv). …

15: Philip J. Davis
After receiving an overview of the project and watching a short demo that included a few preliminary colorful, but static, 3D graphs constructed for the first Chapter, “Airy and Related Functions”, written by Olver, Davis expressed the hope that designing a web-based resource would allow the team to incorporate interesting computer graphics, such as function surfaces that could be rotated and examined. …
