Simplified Continued Fraction Calculation of Spherical Bessel Functions.

Abstract

A new technique of generating spherical Bessel functions of real or complex argument is developed. A negative simple continued fraction is defined and error corrections developed for the calculation of the continued fraction. FORTRAN IV programs for spherical Bessel functions of real and complex argument are presented. The technique is simple, test, and of higher accuracy than comparable techniques currently in use to evaluate spherical Bessel functions. (Author)
