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.

►The Chinese remainder theorem states that a system of congruences
, always has a solution if the moduli are relatively prime in pairs; the solution is unique (mod
),
where
is the product of the moduli.
►This theorem is employed
to increase efficiency in calculating with large numbers by making use of smaller numbers in most of the calculation.
…Because each residue has no more than five digits, the arithmetic can be performed efficiently on these residues with respect
to each of the moduli, yielding answers
,
,
, and
,
where each
has no more than five digits.
These numbers, in turn, are combined by the Chinese remainder theorem
to obtain the final result
, which is correct
to 20 digits.
