A NELIAC PROGRAM FOR CALCULATING PROLATE RADIAL SPHEROIDAL WAVE FUNCTIONS.

Abstract

The report contains a complete transcription of a digital computer program for the computation of prolate radial spheroidal wave functions. The program is written in the Neliac dialect of Algol 60. A brief explanation of the sequence of commands is made by listing all the formulas used by the author in its construction and by indicating in the body of the program the sets of commands corresponding to each formula in the list. The program has been compiled by the Neliac-N compiler of the NAREC and has worked successfully for the following ranges of input parameters: 0 < m < 10, 0 < l < 20, 0 < h < 20, xi > 1.000005, with a precision of at least four significant digits.
