Computing the Gamma Function Using Contour Integrals and Rational Approximations
Abstract. Some of the best methods for computing the gamma function are based on numerical evaluation of Hankel’s contour integral. For example, Temme evaluates this integral based on steepest-decent contours by the trapezoid rule. Here we investigate a different approach to the integral: the application of the trapezoid rule on Talbot-type contours using optimal parameters recently derived by ...
متن کاملRational Approximations for Values of Derivatives of the Gamma Function
The arithmetic nature of Euler’s constant γ is still unknown and even getting good rational approximations to it is difficult. Recently, Aptekarev managed to find a third order linear recurrence with polynomial coefficients which admits two rational solutions an and bn such that an/bn converges subexponentially to γ, viewed as −Γ′(1), where Γ is the usual Gamma function. Although this is not ye...
متن کاملComputing periods of rational integrals
— A period of a rational integral is the result of integrating, with respect to one or several variables, a rational function over a closed path. This work focuses particularly on periods depending on a parameter: in this case the period under consideration satisfies a linear differential equation, the Picard-Fuchs equation. I give a reduction algorithm that extends the Griffiths-Dwork reductio...
متن کاملRational Chebyshev Approximations for Fermi-Dirac Integrals of Orders
Rational Chebyshev approximations are given for the complete Fermi-Dirac integrals of orders — \, \ and f. Maximal relative errors vary with the function and interval considered, but generally range down to 10~9 or less.
متن کاملSignal detection Using Rational Function Curve Fitting
In this manuscript, we proposed a new scheme in communication signal detection which is respect to the curve shape of received signal and based on the extraction of curve fitting (CF) features. This feature extraction technique is proposed for signal data classification in receiver. The proposed scheme is based on curve fitting and approximation of rational fraction coefficients. For each symbo...
