Error analysis for the computation of zeros of regular Coulomb wave function and its first derivative. (English) Zbl 0971.34075

Summary: In 1975 one of the coauthors, Y. Ikebe, showed that the problem of computing the zeros of the regular Coulomb wave functions and their derivatives may be reformulated as an eigenvalue problem for infinite matrices. Approximation by truncation is justified but no error estimates are given there.
The class of eigenvalue problems studied there turns out to be subsumed in a more general problem studied by Y. Ikebe, Y. Kikuchi, I. Fujishiro, N. Asai, K. Takanashi and M. Harada [Linear Algebra Appl. 194, 35-70 (1993; Zbl 0805.65037)], where an extremely accurate asymptotic error estimate is shown.
Here, the authors apply this error formula to the former case to obtain error formulas in a closed, explicit form.
