NAME

PDL::GSLSF::FERMI_DIRAC - PDL interface to GSL Special Functions

DESCRIPTION

This is an interface to the Special Function package present in the GNU Scientific Library. Please note that:

Complete Fermi-Dirac Integrals:

 F_j(x)   := 1/Gamma[j+1] Integral[ t^j /(Exp[t-x] + 1), {t,0,Infinity}]

Incomplete Fermi-Dirac Integrals:

 F_j(x,b) := 1/Gamma[j+1] Integral[ t^j /(Exp[t-x] + 1), {t,b,Infinity}]
