Effiziente Berechnung spezieller Funktionen mittels asymptotischer Entwicklungen und Eliminationsprozeduren. (An efficient calculation of special functions by asymptotic expansions and elimination procedures) (Q582517): Difference between revisions

The paper describes a method for the approximation of a particular class of functions, by using some kind of asymptotic expansion. The method can be applied when the function has a known inverse, that is, when the Taylor series of the inverse is available (examples: logarithmic and inverse circular and hyperbolic functions). The availability of an addition formula can make the method very efficient. It is also shown how the method can be applied to elliptic functions. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the method.
