ALGORITHMS FOR EVALUATION OF THE WRIGHT FUNCTION FOR THE REAL ARGUMENTS ’ VALUES

The paper deals with analysis of several techniques and methods for the numerical evaluation of the Wright function. Even if the focus is mainly on the real arguments ’ values, the methods introduced here can be used in the complex plane, too. The approaches presented in the paper include inte-gral representations of the Wright function, its asymptotic expansions and summation of series. Because the Wright function depends on two param-eters and on one (in general case, complex) argument, different numerical techniques are employed for different parameters ’ values. In every case, estimates for accuracy of the computations are provided. The ideas and techniques employed in the paper can be used for numerical evaluation of other functions of the hypergeometric type
