āŗWhen the differences are moderately
small, the iteration is stopped, the elementary symmetric functions of certain differences are calculated, and a polynomial consisting of a fixed number of terms of the sum in (
19.19.7) is evaluated.

āŗWhen the values of complete integrals are known, addition theorems with

Similarly, §

āŗFor numerical purposes the most convenient of the representations given in §
11.5, at least for real variables, include the integrals (
11.5.2)–(

…Other integrals that appear in §
11.5(i) have highly oscillatory integrands unless

small.

āŗThen from the limiting forms for
small argument (§§
11.2(i),
10.7(i),
10.30(i)), limiting forms for large argument (§§
11.6(i),
10.7(ii),
10.30(ii)), and the connection formulas (
11.2.5) and (
11.2.6), it is seen that

can be computed in a stable manner by integrating forwards, that is, from the origin toward infinity.
The solution
