Abstract

Numerical values of the above integral are given for 3/2λ√3 = 0(0·1)1, to six decimals for |ω| = 0(0·l)2·0(0·2)4·8 and to seven decimals for |ω| = 5(0·5)10(1)15.

The integral satisfies a third-order differential equation; this equation is integrated numerically for ω ≥ 0 and ω ≤ 0, and in each case the method of isolating the solution which satisfies f(ω) → 0 as ω → ∞ is described.
