1  Purpose

G01QTF returns the value of the second moment Φ2x of the Landau density function, via the routine name.

2  Specification

FUNCTION G01QTF ( X)
REAL (KIND=nag_wp) G01QTF
REAL (KIND=nag_wp)  X

3  Description

G01QTF evaluates an approximation to the second moment Φ2 x of the Landau density function given by
Φ2x=1Φx -xλ2ϕλdλ,
where ϕλ 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 Φ1x, G01PTF can be used.

4  References

5  Parameters

1:     X – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the argument x of the function.

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

There are no failure exits from this routine.

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  Further Comments

None.

9  Example

This example evaluates Φ2x at x=0.5, and prints the results.
