2: 3.1 Arithmetics and Error Measures
To eliminate overflow or underflow in finite-precision arithmetic numbers are represented by using generalized logarithms ln ( x ) given by …Also in this arithmetic generalized precision can be defined, which includes absolute error and relative precision3.1(v)) as special cases. …

  • Blanch and Clemm (1962) includes values of Mc n ( 1 ) ( x , q ) and Mc n ( 1 ) ( x , q ) for n = 0 ( 1 ) 15 with q = 0 ( .05 ) 1 , x = 0 ( .02 ) 1 . Also Ms n ( 1 ) ( x , q ) and Ms n ( 1 ) ( x , q ) for n = 1 ( 1 ) 15 with q = 0 ( .05 ) 1 , x = 0 ( .02 ) 1 . Precision is generally 7D.

  • Blanch and Clemm (1965) includes values of Mc n ( 2 ) ( x , q ) , Mc n ( 2 ) ( x , q ) for n = 0 ( 1 ) 7 , x = 0 ( .02 ) 1 ; n = 8 ( 1 ) 15 , x = 0 ( .01 ) 1 . Also Ms n ( 2 ) ( x , q ) , Ms n ( 2 ) ( x , q ) for n = 1 ( 1 ) 7 , x = 0 ( .02 ) 1 ; n = 8 ( 1 ) 15 , x = 0 ( .01 ) 1 . In all cases q = 0 ( .05 ) 1 . Precision is generally 7D. Approximate formulas and graphs are also included.

  • National Bureau of Standards (1967) includes the eigenvalues a n ( q ) , b n ( q ) for n = 0 ( 1 ) 3 with q = 0 ( .2 ) 20 ( .5 ) 37 ( 1 ) 100 , and n = 4 ( 1 ) 15 with q = 0 ( 2 ) 100 ; Fourier coefficients for ce n ( x , q ) and se n ( x , q ) for n = 0 ( 1 ) 15 , n = 1 ( 1 ) 15 , respectively, and various values of q in the interval [ 0 , 100 ] ; joining factors g e , n ( q ) , f e , n ( q ) for n = 0 ( 1 ) 15 with q = 0 ( .5  to  10 ) 100 (but in a different notation). Also, eigenvalues for large values of q . Precision is generally 8D.

  • 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.

    Schroeder (2006) describes many of these applications, including the design of concert hall ceilings to scatter sound into broad lateral patterns for improved acoustic quality, precise measurements of delays of radar echoes from Venus and Mercury to confirm one of the relativistic effects predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity, and the use of primes in creating artistic graphical designs.
