1  Purpose

G01PTF returns the value of the first moment Φ1x of the Landau density function, via the routine name.

2  Specification

FUNCTION G01PTF ( X)
REAL (KIND=nag_wp) G01PTF
REAL (KIND=nag_wp)  X

3  Description

G01PTF evaluates an approximation to the first moment Φ1 x of the Landau density function given by
Φ1x=1Φx -xλϕλdλ,
where ϕλ is described in G01MTF, using piecewise approximation by rational functions. Further details can be found in Kölbig and Schorr (1984).
To obtain the value of Φ2x, G01QTF can be used.

4  References

5  Parameters

1:     X – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the argument x of the function.

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

There are no failure exits from this routine.

7  Accuracy

At least 7 significant digits are usually correct, but occasionally only 6. Such accuracy is normally considered to be adequate for applications in experimental physics.

8  Further Comments

None.

9  Example

This example evaluates Φ1x at x=0.5, and prints the results.
