Abstract
Fortran 90 programs for the computation of real parabolic cylinder functions are presented. The code computes the functions
U
(
a
,
x
),
V
(
a
,
x
) and their derivatives for real
a
and
x
(
x
≥ 0). The code also computes scaled functions. The range of computation for scaled PCFs is practically unrestricted. The aimed relative accuracy for scaled functions is better than 5 10
−14
. Exceptions to this accuracy are the evaluation of the functions near their zeros and the error caused by the evaluation of trigonometric functions of large arguments when |a| >
x
. The routines always give values for which the Wronskian relation for scaled functions is verified with a relative accuracy better than 5 10
−14
. The accuracy of the unscaled functions is also better than 5 10
−14
for moderate values of
x
and
a
(except close to the zeros), while for large
x
and
a
the error is dominated by exponential and trigonometric function evaluations. For IEEE standard double precision arithmetic, the accuracy is better than 5 10
−13
in the computable range of unscaled PCFs (except close to the zeros).
