Abstract

The numerical evaluation of Fourier-Bessel transforms of oscillating functions as occurring in statistical mechanical perturbation theory is considered. It is concluded that the combination of Filon's method with the fast Fourier transform algorithm is the most efficient method of evaluating such integrals. Results are also presented on the influence of the number of points in the integration scheme, noise in the function to be transformed, and truncation of the transform integral on the accuracy obtained.
