1: 19.38 Approximations
Minimax polynomial approximations (§3.11(i)) for K ( k ) and E ( k ) in terms of m = k 2 with 0 m < 1 can be found in Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, §17.3) with maximum absolute errors ranging from 4×10⁻⁵ to 2×10⁻⁸. …

§3.11(i) Minimax Polynomial Approximations
If we have a sufficiently close approximation … For examples of minimax polynomial approximations to elementary and special functions see Hart et al. (1968). … The theory of polynomial minimax approximation given in §3.11(i) can be extended to the case when p n ( x ) is replaced by a rational function R k , ( x ) . …

  • Hastings (1955) gives several minimax polynomial and rational approximations for E 1 ( x ) + ln x , x e x E 1 ( x ) , and the auxiliary functions f ( x ) and g ( x ) . These are included in Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, Ch. 5).

  • 6: 18.38 Mathematical Applications
    The monic Chebyshev polynomial 2 1 n T n ( x ) , n 1 , enjoys the ‘minimax’ property on the interval [ 1 , 1 ] , that is, | 2 1 n T n ( x ) | has the least maximum value among all monic polynomials of degree n . …

  • 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.

  • 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 .
