fn
fn,
a Python code which
approximates elementary and special functions using Chebyshev polynomials;
functions include Airy, Bessel I, Bessel J, Bessel K, Bessel Y, beta,
confluent hypergeometric, cosine integral, Dawson's integral,
digamma (psi), error, exponential integral, gamma, hyperbolic cosine
integral, hyperbolic sine integral, incomplete gamma, log gamma,
logarithmic integral, Pochhammer, psi, sine integral, Spence;
by Wayne Fullerton.
The original version of the code provided routines for
single precision complex, single precision real, and
double precision real arguments and used the prefixes
"C" and "D" to indicate the complex and double precision versions.
This scheme has been modified for consistency, and also
to avoid conflict with the names of functions commonly
provided by various compilers. The prefixes "C4_", "R4_"
and "R8_" are used to indicate functions for single precision complex,
single precision real, and double precision real arguments.
For example, the sine function can be calculated by the functions
C4_SIN, R4_SIN or R8_SIN.
The original, true, correct version of FN
is available through NETLIB:
