Abstract

The integral, involving the functions Jn and Jn−½(x) where n is a positive integer, arises in a problem in electrical network theory and represents a measure of the overall error in the diagonal Padé approximant to the function es. A method of evaluation based on Euler's transformation of series is described, values of the integral are tabulated to five decimal places for n = 1(1)10(5)40, and the asymptotic behaviour for large n is determined.
