Computation of Fresnel Integrals. II

Published

Author(s)

Klaus Mielenz

Abstract

This paper describes an improved method for computing Fresnel integrals with an accuracy better than 1X10-9, based on a known approximate formula for a different integral. Outside the range of validity of this formula, Taylor series expansions are used to obtain the Fresnel integrals to a similar degree of accuracy.
