FERMI_DIRAC(3)

NAME
PDL::GSLSF::FERMI_DIRAC - PDL interface to GSL Special Functions

DESCRIPTION
This is an interface to the Special Function package present in the GNU Scientific Library. Please note that:

Complete Fermi-Dirac Integrals:

 F_j(x)   := 1/Gamma[j+1] Integral[ t^j /(Exp[t-x] + 1), {t,0,Infinity}]

Incomplete Fermi-Dirac Integrals:

 F_j(x,b) := 1/Gamma[j+1] Integral[ t^j /(Exp[t-x] + 1), {t,b,Infinity}]

FUNCTIONS

  gsl_sf_fermi_dirac_int
  Signature: (double x(); double [o]y(); double [o]e(); int j)

Complete integral F_j(x) for integer j

gsl_sf_fermi_dirac_int does not process bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.

  gsl_sf_fermi_dirac_mhalf
  Signature: (double x(); double [o]y(); double [o]e())

Complete integral F_{-1/2}(x)

gsl_sf_fermi_dirac_mhalf does not process bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.

  gsl_sf_fermi_dirac_half
  Signature: (double x(); double [o]y(); double [o]e())

Complete integral F_{1/2}(x)

gsl_sf_fermi_dirac_half does not process bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.

  gsl_sf_fermi_dirac_3half
  Signature: (double x(); double [o]y(); double [o]e())

Complete integral F_{3/2}(x)

gsl_sf_fermi_dirac_3half does not process bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.

  gsl_sf_fermi_dirac_inc_0
  Signature: (double x(); double [o]y(); double [o]e(); double b)

Incomplete integral F_0(x,b) = ln(1 + e^(b-x)) - (b-x)

gsl_sf_fermi_dirac_inc_0 does not process bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.
