Evaluation of tex2html_wrap_inline2811

Since tex2html_wrap_inline2811 is given as a function of the parameters only in the form of a differential equation, it is necessary to integrate to evaluate tex2html_wrap_inline2811 for any set of parameters tex2html_wrap_inline2725 . This cannot be done analytically, and so numerical techniques are used. The method employed is adaptive stepsize fourth order Runge-Kutta. The algorithm comes directly from the work of Press et. al. [40].

The method was chosen to give a reasonable amount of accuracy, and a reasonable amount of speed. This algorithm, together with the sampling algorithms discussed were programmed in the C programming language. A number of difficulties arose during the course of the programming and were solved by reference to numerical analysis techniques.
