Abstract

The differential equation

defining the function of the amplitude sL is integrated by an iterative procedure. An expression for the phase

is obtained in terms of integrals of ωL and its derivatives. The method is applied to the numerical calculation of Coulomb functions and the accuracy of the results is discussed. Recurrence relations are used to obtain øL, L ≽ 1.
