Tables of values of the spherical Bessel functions of the first and second kinds of complex argument are provided. Although these tables are not extensive, they are useful for checking the validity of computer routines that calculate spherical Bessel functions. A description of the method of computation is provided and verification procedures used are presented.

-T-061102-B-53-A1-T-061102-B-53-A-20(*bessel functions, tables(data)) , continued fractions, complex numbersmathematical tables, computationTen-place tables of spherical Bessel functions of complex argument with real and imaginary values from 0.001 to 1000 in varying increments for 100 consecutive orders are presented. The method used to generate these tables is based on a continued fraction representation of the ratio of Bessel functions of consecutive order. This method retains a high degree Bessel functions of consecutive order. This method retains a high degree of accuracy in a finite digit machine, incorporates a terminating condition, is fast and simple, and is versatile enough to find wide application as a method for continued fractions in general.
