Hi,

Does anyone have (or know of a location to find) the code for
evaluation of the incomplete gamma function? I'm using pv-wave,
but I'm not too picky (mainly since I don't think it should matter
much in this case).

Thanks a bunch,
==Matthew

PV-WAVE:Advantage has a complete gamma function - GAMMAI(a,x).

I have not used this, but it's there - it would be a call to the IMSL
function GAMI.

Here's some info which appeared on the sci.math.num-analysis newsgroup
a couple weeks back:

Try complex Incomplete Gamma Function by Eric Kostlan and myself.

I got the paper, but haven't yet coded it into IDL. Doesn't look too bad,
but it will be fairly loopy. If you code it up, please post it.
