NAG FL Interfaceg01qtf (pdf_​landau_​moment2)

1Purpose

g01qtf returns the value of the second moment ${\Phi }_{2}\left(x\right)$ of the Landau density function.

2Specification

Fortran Interface
 Function g01qtf ( x)
 Real (Kind=nag_wp) :: g01qtf Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In) :: x
#include <nag.h>
 double g01qtf_ (const double *x)
The routine may be called by the names g01qtf or nagf_stat_pdf_landau_moment2.

3Description

g01qtf evaluates an approximation to the second moment ${\Phi }_{2}\left(x\right)$ of the Landau density function given by
 $Φ2x=1Φx ∫-∞xλ2ϕλdλ,$
where $\varphi \left(\lambda \right)$ 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 ${\Phi }_{1}\left(x\right)$, g01ptf can be used.

5Arguments

1: $\mathbf{x}$Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: the argument $x$ of the function.

None.

7Accuracy

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.

8Parallelism and Performance

g01qtf is not threaded in any implementation.

None.

10Example

This example evaluates ${\Phi }_{2}\left(x\right)$ at $x=0.5$, and prints the results.
