/* hypergf.c * * Confluent hypergeometric function * * * * SYNOPSIS: * * float a, b, x, y, hypergf(); * * y = hypergf( a, b, x ); * * * * DESCRIPTION: * * Computes the confluent hypergeometric function * * 1 2 * a x a(a+1) x * F ( a,b;x ) = 1 + ---- + --------- + ... * 1 1 b 1! b(b+1) 2! * * Many higher transcendental functions are special cases of * this power series. * * As is evident from the formula, b must not be a negative * integer or zero unless a is an integer with 0 >= a > b. * * The routine attempts both a direct summation of the series * and an asymptotic expansion. In each case error due to * roundoff, cancellation, and nonconvergence is estimated. * The result with smaller estimated error is returned. * * * * ACCURACY: * * Tested at random points (a, b, x), all three variables * ranging from 0 to 30. * Relative error: * arithmetic domain # trials peak rms * IEEE 0,5 10000 6.6e-7 1.3e-7 * IEEE 0,30 30000 1.1e-5 6.5e-7 * * Larger errors can be observed when b is near a negative * integer or zero. Certain combinations of arguments yield * serious cancellation error in the power series summation * and also are not in the region of near convergence of the * asymptotic series. An error message is printed if the * self-estimated relative error is greater than 1.0e-3. * */ /* hyperg.c */ /* Cephes Math Library Release 2.1: November, 1988 Copyright 1984, 1987, 1988 by Stephen L.
