11: 27.12 Asymptotic Formulas: Primes
The best available asymptotic error estimate (2009) appears in Korobov (1958) and Vinogradov (1958): there exists a positive constant d such that … If a is relatively prime to the modulus m , then there are infinitely many primes congruent to a ( mod m ) . …
12: 2.3 Integrals of a Real Variable
In both cases the n th error term is bounded in absolute value by x n 𝒱 a , b ( q ( n 1 ) ( t ) ) , where the variational operator 𝒱 a , b is defined by … For error bounds for Watson’s lemma and Laplace’s method see Boyd (1993) and Olver (1997b, Chapter 3). … However, cancellation does not take place near the endpoints, owing to lack of symmetry, nor in the neighborhoods of zeros of p ( t ) because p ( t ) changes relatively slowly at these stationary points. … For proofs of the results of this subsection, error bounds, and an example, see Olver (1974). For other estimates of the error term see Lyness (1971). …
13: 3.5 Quadrature
When f C , the Romberg method affords a means of obtaining high accuracy in many cases with a relatively simple adaptive algorithm. … Also, the error constant (3.5.20) is given by … Equation (3.5.36), without the error term, becomes …
Example
where erfc z is the complementary error function, and from (7.12.1) it follows that …

  • 18: 2.11 Remainder Terms; Stokes Phenomenon
    The error term is, in fact, approximately 700 times the last term obtained in (2.11.4). … In effect, (2.11.7) “corrects” (2.11.6) by introducing a term that is relatively exponentially small in the neighborhood of ph z = π , is increasingly significant as ph z passes from π to 3 2 π , and becomes the dominant contribution after ph z passes 3 2 π . … Here erfc is the complementary error function (§7.2(i)), and … These answers are linked to the terms involving the complementary error function in the more powerful expansions typified by the combination of (2.11.10) and (2.11.15). … For error bounds see Dunster (1996c). …
