Abstract
Based on the geometry of a radial function, a sequence of approximations for arcsine, arccosine and arctangent are detailed. The approximations for arcsine and arccosine are sharp at the points zero and one. Convergence of the approximations is proved and the convergence is significantly better than Taylor series approximations for arguments approaching one. The established approximations can be utilized as the basis for Newton-Raphson iteration and analytical approximations, of modest complexity, and with relative error bounds of the order of 10−16, and lower, can be defined. Applications of the approximations include: first, upper and lower bounded functions, of arbitrary accuracy, for arcsine, arccosine and arctangent. Second, approximations with significantly higher accuracy based on the upper or lower bounded approximations. Third, approximations for the square of arcsine with better convergence than well established series for this function. Fourth, approximations to arccosine and arcsine, to even order powers, with relative errors that are significantly lower than published approximations. Fifth, approximations for the inverse tangent integral function and several unknown integrals.
