Error function and its derivative

These notations are convenient, and tables of both the error function and its derivatives are available. Sec, for example, the Chemical Rubber Handbook of Physics and Chemistry, or E. Jahnke and F. Emde, Tables of Functions, 4th ed., Dover Publications, New York, 1945. Some values are listed in Table VI.2. 

The problem of Example 4.1.3 is revisited here. We determine the smoothing spline function and its derivatives assuming identical standard errors d = 0.25 in the measured pH. 

Values of the error function and its first derivative (the Gauss distribution) are tabulated1. 

Besides, we should remember of such a case. Here is a typical situation in mathematical analysis two plots are created in one coordinate system, a function and its derivative. That could be considered an error, which Mathcad is to interrupt with such error message when meters are added with kilograms. In addition, we can recall a problem from the book for novice find the values of x of the given function in which this function is higher than its derivative. For the reason that we cannot compare a function and its derivative because these values are different... 

The recovering of current density from data on electric potential, satisfying Laplace s equation was studied. In experiments, it is difficult or expensive to obtain many measurements and therefore numerical integration cannot be performed. The recovered results revealed high accuracy with synthetic ideal function, as for ideal data, so does for data subjected to high errors. The method uses complex variable theory where one can obtain holomorphic function, related to the electric potential and its derivative related with the current density. 

Example 4.1.13 In order to illustrate the estimates of the global error increment the unconstrained truck is simulated running over a 12 cm high road hump described by the input function u t) = — and its derivative (see Sec. 1.3.1). 

To derive the line diffusion coefficient D, from the concentration profile of we change the scale of the ordinate so that the fraction exchanged at the oxide-oxygen interface reads unity, and fit the curve to an error function plot ( ). It is found that A(600°C) = 9.0 X lO and A(910°C) = 7.7 X 10" cm sec ...

Under general hypotheses, the optimisation of the Bayesian score under the constraints of MaxEnt will require numerical integration of (29), in that no analytical solution exists for the integral. A Taylor expansion of Ao(R) around the maximum of the P(R) function could be used to compute an analytical expression for A and its first and second order derivatives, provided the spread of the A distribution is significantly larger than the one of the P(R) function, as measured by a 2. Unfortunately, for accurate charge density studies this requirement is not always fulfilled for many reflexions the structure factor variance Z2 appearing in Ao is comparable to or even smaller than the experimental error variance o2, because the deformation effects and the associated uncertainty are at the level of the noise.
