Date: Wed, 02 Oct 2002 08:46:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021002154552.GA19031@itp.uni-hannover.de> (raw)

hello gsl community,

gsl_sf_coupling_3j doesn't work properly for large
angular mementa like j1=j2=j3=40 m1=m2=m3=0 !!!

gsl_sf_coupling_3j_e(80,80,80,0,0,0,&result)

which correspond to j1=j2=j3=40 m1=m2=m3=0

gives me:

      result.val = 0.0625
      result.err = 0.172766

mathematica gives me:

      N[ThreeJSymbol[{40,0},{40,0},{40,0}]] = 0.0149685

my guess is that gamma.c which is used for calculating fractional
numbers probably diverges for large integers. 

cheers,
        ff
