11: 25.20 Approximations
  • Cody et al. (1971) gives rational approximations for ζ ( s ) in the form of quotients of polynomials or quotients of Chebyshev series. The ranges covered are 0.5 s 5 , 5 s 11 , 11 s 25 , 25 s 55 . Precision is varied, with a maximum of 20S.

  • Piessens and Branders (1972) gives the coefficients of the Chebyshev-series expansions of s ζ ( s + 1 ) and ζ ( s + k ) , k = 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 8 , for 0 s 1 (23D).

  • Antia (1993) gives minimax rational approximations for Γ ( s + 1 ) F s ( x ) , where F s ( x ) is the Fermi–Dirac integral (25.12.14), for the intervals < x 2 and 2 x < , with s = 1 2 , 1 2 , 3 2 , 5 2 . For each s there are three sets of approximations, with relative maximum errors 10 4 , 10 8 , 10 12 .

  • Miller (1946) tabulates Ai ( x ) , Ai ( x ) for x = 20 ( .01 ) 2 ; log 10 Ai ( x ) , Ai ( x ) / Ai ( x ) for x = 0 ( .1 ) 25 ( 1 ) 75 ; Bi ( x ) , Bi ( x ) for x = 10 ( .1 ) 2.5 ; log 10 Bi ( x ) , Bi ( x ) / Bi ( x ) for x = 0 ( .1 ) 10 ; M ( x ) , N ( x ) , θ ( x ) , ϕ ( x ) (respectively F ( x ) , G ( x ) , χ ( x ) , ψ ( x ) ) for x = 80 ( 1 ) 30 ( .1 ) 0 . Precision is generally 8D; slightly less for some of the auxiliary functions. Extracts from these tables are included in Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, Chapter 10), together with some auxiliary functions for large arguments.

  • Zhang and Jin (1996, p. 337) tabulates Ai ( x ) , Ai ( x ) , Bi ( x ) , Bi ( x ) for x = 0 ( 1 ) 20 to 8S and for x = 20 ( 1 ) 0 to 9D.

  • Miller (1946) tabulates a k , Ai ( a k ) , a k , Ai ( a k ) , k = 1 ( 1 ) 50 ; b k , Bi ( b k ) , b k , Bi ( b k ) , k = 1 ( 1 ) 20 . Precision is 8D. Entries for k = 1 ( 1 ) 20 are reproduced in Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, Chapter 10).

  • Sherry (1959) tabulates a k , Ai ( a k ) , a k , Ai ( a k ) , k = 1 ( 1 ) 50 ; 20S.
