NEW TECHNIQUES FOR MACHINE COMPUTATION OF THE Q-FUNCTION, TRUNCATED NORMAL DEVIATES, AND MATRIX EIGENVALUES

Abstract

Three engineering memoranda are covered: (1) digital computer evaluation of the Q-function, (2) the generation of (truncated) random normal deviates, and (3) a modified Givens' method for the eigenvalue evaluation of large matrices. (Author)
