SPECIAL_FUNCTIONS
Evaluation of Special Functions


SPECIAL_FUNCTIONS is a FORTRAN77 library which computes the value of various special functions, by Shanjie Zhang, Jianming Jin.

The library includes functions for the Beta, Error, Gamma, Lambda, Psi functions, for the Airy, Bessel I, J, K and Y, Hankel, Jacobian elliptic, Kelvin, Mathieu, Struve functions, for spheroidal angular functions, parabolic cylinder functions, hypergeometric functions, for the Bernoulli and Euler numbers, for the Hermite, Laguerre and Legendre polynomials, for the cosine, elliptic, exponential, Fresnel and sine integrals.

Jianming Jin makes the text of the original FORTRAN77 source code available at http://in.ece.illinois.edu/routines/routines.html.
