Abstract:Abstract:The known standard recursion methods of computing the full normalized associated Legendre functions do not give the necessary precision due to application of IEEE754-2008 standard, that creates a problems of underfl ow and overfl ow. The analysis of the problems of the calculation of the Legendre functions shows that the problem underfl ow is not dangerous by itself. The main problem that generates the gross errors in its calculations is the problem named the effect of "absolute zero". Once appeared i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
