Local iterated function systems are an important generalisation of the standard (global) iterated function systems (IFSs). For a particular class of mappings, their fixed points are the graphs of local fractal functions and these functions themselves are

Acceleration of generalized hypergeometric functions through precise remainder asymptotics
We express the asymptotics of the remainders of the partial sums {s_n} of the generalized hypergeometric function q+1_F_q through an inverse power series z^n n^l \sum_k c_k/n^k, where the exponent l and the asymptotic coefficients {c_k} may be ...

Computing the Gamma function using contour integrals and rational approximations [PDF]
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.

Bends in the plane with variable curvature [PDF]
Explicit formulae for planar variable curvature bends are constructed using Euler’s method of natural equations. The bend paths are expressed in terms of special functions.

We describe a method for the numerical evaluation of normalized versions of the associated Legendre functions $P_\nu^{-\mu}$ and $Q_\nu^{-\mu}$ of degrees $0 \leq \nu \leq 1,000,000$ and orders $-\nu \leq \mu \leq \nu$ on the interval $(-1,1)$.

Truncation Error Analysis of Approximate Operators for a Moving Particle Semi-Implicit Method
This paper considers several approximate operators used in a particle method based on a Voronoi diagram. Under some assumptions on a weight function, we derive truncation error estimates for our approximate gradient and Laplace operators.

Wavelet Deformation Analysis for Spherical Bodies [PDF]
In this paper we introduce a multiscale technique for the analysis of deformation phenomena of the Earth. Classically, the basis functions under use are globally defined and show polynomial character.
