CL Name Style:


1 Purpose

g01ptc returns the value of the first moment Φ1(x) of the Landau density function.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
double  g01ptc (double x)
The function may be called by the names: g01ptc, nag_stat_pdf_landau_moment1 or nag_moment_1_landau.

3 Description

g01ptc evaluates an approximation to the first moment Φ1 (x) of the Landau density function given by
Φ1(x)=1Φ(x) -xλϕ(λ)dλ,  
where ϕ(λ) is described in g01mtc, using piecewise approximation by rational functions. Further details can be found in Kölbig and Schorr (1984).
To obtain the value of Φ2(x), g01qtc can be used.

5 Arguments

1: x double Input
On entry: the argument x of the function.

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

None.

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 Parallelism and Performance

g01ptc is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

None.

10 Example

This example evaluates Φ1(x) at x=0.5, and prints the results.
