AbstractIn this paper computational issues of Appell's F1 functionare addressed. A novel technique is used in the derivation of highly efficient multiple-term approximations of this function (including asymptotic ones). Simple structured single- and double-term approximations, as the first two candidates of this multiple-term representa-tion, are developed in closed form. Error analysis shows that- the developed algorithms are superior to existing approximations for the same number of terms. The formulation presented is highly efficient and could be extended to a wide class of special functions.

AbstractThe generalised elliptic-type integral Rμ(k, α, γ)where 0 ≤ k < 1, Re(γ) > Re(α) > 0, Re(μ) ≥ −0.5, is represented in terms of the Gauss hypergeometric function by Kalla, Conde and Hubbell [8]. In 1987, Kalla, Lubner and Hubbell derived a simple-structured single-term approximation for this function in the neighbourhood of k2 = 1 in some range of the parameters α, γ and μ. Another formula which complements the parameter range was recently derived by the author. In this paper a novel technique is used in deriving multiple-term efficient approximations (in the neighbourhood of k2 = 1) which may be considered as a generalisation to the concept of the single-term approximations mentioned above. Two non-overlapping expressions which almost cover the entire range of parameters (α, γ, μ) are derived. Closed-form solutions are obtained for single- and double-term approximations (in the neighbourhood of k2 = 1). Results show that the proposed technique is superior to existing approximations for the same number of terms. Our formulation has potential application for a wide class of special functions.

Based on the model and feature of combination testing, a novel technique of fault analysis based on combination testing is proposed. The faults of software can be triggered by system parameters and their interaction. The result of combination testing is analyzed, and discovered the possible reasons, and then generates an additional test cased which involved from the test case causing the fault, and analysis and verify the result. This method can locate the faults in a relative small area, and can simplify the process of software debugging and testing.
