test_values


test_values , a Fortran90 code which supplies test values of various mathematical functions, including Abramowitz, AGM, Airy, Bell, Bernoulli, Bessel, Beta, Binomial, Bivariate Normal, Catalan, Cauchy, Chebyshev, Chi Square, Clausen, Clebsch Gordan, Collatz, Cosine integral, Dawson, Debye, Dedekind, dilogarithm, Dixon elliptic functions, Exponential integral, Elliptic, Error, Euler, Exponential integral, F probability, Fresnel, Frobenius, Gamma, Gegenbauer, Goodwin, Gudermannian, Harmonic, Hermite, Hypergeometric 1F1, Hypergeometric 2F1, inverse trigonometic, Jacobi Elliptic functions sn(), cn(), dn(), the Julian Ephemeris Date, Kelvin, Laguerre, Lambert W, Laplace, Legendre, Lerch, Lobachevsky, Lobatto, Logarithmic integral, Log normal, McNugget numbers, Mersenne primes, Mertens, Mittag-Leffler, Moebius, Multinomial, Negative binomial, Nine J, Normal, Omega, Owen, Partition, Phi, Pi, Poisson, Polylogarithm, Polynomial Resultant, Polyomino, Prime, Psi, Rayleigh, Hyperbolic Sine integral, Sigma, Sine Power integral, Sine integral, Six J, Sphere area, Sphere volume, Spherical harmonic, Stirling, Stromgen, Struve, Student, Subfactorial, Student probability, Three J, Transport, Trigamma, Truncated normal, van der Corput, von Mises, Weibull, Wright Omega, Zeta.

The intent of the code is to provide a means of making very simple tests for correctness of software designed to compute a variety of functions. The testing can be done automatically. The data provided is generally skimpy, and might not test the algorithm over a suitably wide range. It does, however, provide a small amount of reassurance that a given computation is (or is not) computing the appropriate quantity, and doing so reasonably accurately.
