1 Purpose

g01qtf returns the value of the second moment Φ2(x) of the Landau density function.

2 Specification

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

3 Description

g01qtf evaluates an approximation to the second moment Φ2 (x) of the Landau density function given by
Φ2(x)=1Φ(x) -xλ2ϕ(λ)dλ,  
where ϕ(λ) 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 Φ1(x), g01ptf can be used.

5 Arguments

1: x Real (Kind=nag_wp) 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

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
g01qtf is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

None.
