Computing the Gamma function using contour integrals and rational approximations
- Abstract:
-
Some of the best methods for computing the gamma function are based on numerical evaluation of Hankel's contour integral. For example, Temme evaluates this integral based on steepest-decent contours by the trapezoid rule. Here we investigate a different approach to the integral: the application of the trapezoid rule on Talbot-type contours using optimal parameters recently derived by Weideman for computing inverse Laplace transforms. Relatedly, we also investigate quadrature formulas derived ...
