Numerical evaluation of a symmetric potential function
The author gives a new method for a numerical computing of the known potential \[ \psi(r,z)= (1/2\pi) \int^\pi_0 \rho\cos\theta d\theta/ [r^2+ \rho^2- 2r\rho\cos\theta+ (z-\zeta)^2]^{1/2} \] appearing frequently in mathematical physics. His method consists in expressing the above integral in terms of complete elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds and then to use an algorithm, elaborated by \textit{M. Abramovitz} and \textit{I. A. Stegun} [Handbook of mathematical functions with formulas, graphs and mathematical tables (1964; Zbl 0171.38503)], for the computation of elliptic integrals. He gives the expression of the written potential in terms of the known elliptic functions \(K(m)\) and \(E(m)\) and presents his method of their computation using the method of Abramovitz and Stegun; the superiority of this method in comparison with other methods is shown in the last part of the paper by means of an eloquent table.
