For examples of minimax polynomial approximations to elementary and special functions see Hart et al. (1968). … They satisfy the recurrence relationAlso, in cases where f ( x ) satisfies a linear ordinary differential equation with polynomial coefficients, the expansion (3.11.11) can be substituted in the differential equation to yield a recurrence relation satisfied by the c n . … A collection of minimax rational approximations to elementary and special functions can be found in Hart et al.

    Authors of the works appearing in the Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF) have assigned copyright to the works to NIST, United States Department of Commerce, as represented by the Secretary of Commerce. … The DLMF wishes to provide users of special functions with essential reference information related to the use and application of special functions in research, development, and education. …Thus, we seek to provide DLMF users with links to sources of such software. …
  • Index of Selected Software Within the DLMF Chapters

    Within each of the DLMF chapters themselves we will provide a list of research software for the functions discussed in that chapter. The purpose of these listings is to provide references to the research literature on the engineering of software for special functions. To qualify for listing, the development of the software must have been the subject of a research paper published in the peer-reviewed literature. If such software is available online for free download we will provide a link to the software.

    In general, we will not index other software within DLMF chapters unless the software is unique in some way, such as being the only known software for computing a particular function.

  • Master Software Index

    In association with the DLMF we will provide an index of all software for the computation of special functions covered by the DLMF. It is our intention that this will become an exhaustive list of sources of software for special functions. In each case we will maintain a single link where readers can obtain more information about the listed software. We welcome requests from software authors (or distributors) for new items to list.

    Note that here we will only include software with capabilities that go beyond the computation of elementary functions in standard precisions since such software is nearly universal in scientific computing environments.

  • 15: 28.8 Asymptotic Expansions for Large q
    For recurrence relations for the coefficients in these expansions see Frenkel and Portugal (2001, §3). … The approximants are elementary functions, Airy functions, Bessel functions, and parabolic cylinder functions; compare §2.8. … With additional restrictions on z , uniform asymptotic approximations for solutions of (28.2.1) and (28.20.1) are also obtained in terms of elementary functions by re-expansions of the Whittaker functions; compare §2.8(ii). Subsequently the asymptotic solutions involving either elementary or Whittaker functions are identified in terms of the Floquet solutions me ν ( z , q ) 28.12(ii)) and modified Mathieu functions M ν ( j ) ( z , h ) 28.20(iii)). For related results see Langer (1934) and Sharples (1967, 1971). …

    §1.11(ii) Elementary Properties
    A similar relation holds for the changes in sign of the coefficients of f ( z ) , and hence for the number of negative zeros of f ( z ) . … The elementary symmetric functions of the zeros are (with a n 0 ) … Addition of 1 3 a to each of these roots gives the roots of f ( z ) = 0 . … Add 1 4 a to the roots of g ( w ) = 0 to get those of f ( z ) = 0 . …

    For higher coefficients see Baratella and Gatteschi (1988), and for another estimate of the error term in a related expansion see Wong and Zhao (2003). …
    In Terms of Elementary Functions
    For more powerful asymptotic expansions as n in terms of elementary functions that apply uniformly when 1 + δ t < , 1 + δ t 1 δ , or < t 1 δ , where t = x / 2 n + 1 and δ is again an arbitrary small positive constant, see §§12.10(i)12.10(iv) and 12.10(vi). And for asymptotic expansions as n in terms of Airy functions that apply uniformly when 1 + δ t < or < t 1 δ , see §§12.10(vii) and 12.10(viii). With μ = 2 n + 1 the expansions in Chapter 12 are for the parabolic cylinder function U ( 1 2 μ 2 , μ t 2 ) , which is related to the Hermite polynomials via …
