TLDR
An efficient algorithm is developed for the automatic calculation of the zeros of Bessel functions of arbitrary order, Coulomb wave functions, and other special functions without any actual functional evaluations.
Abstract
An efficient algorithm is developed for the automatic calculation of the zeros of Bessel functions of arbitrary order, Coulomb wave functions, and other special functions. Remarkably, this can be done without any actual functional evaluations. Limitations and generalizations are discussed.

A fast algorithm for the calculation of the roots of special functions

TL;DR: A procedure for the determination of the roots of functions satisfying second-order ordinary differential equations, including the classical special functions, is described, based on a combination of the Prufer transform with the classical Taylor series method.

The Zeros of Special Functions from a Fixed Point Method

TL;DR: The structure of the first order difference-differential equations (DDEs) is studied to set global bounds on the differences between adjacent zeros of functions of consecutive orders and to find iteration steps which guarantee that all the zeros inside a given interval can be found with certainty.

Zeros of the Macdonald function of complex order

TL;DR: In this paper, the z-zeros of the modified Bessel function of the third kind K"@n(z), also known as modified Hankel function or Macdonald function, are considered for arbitrary complex values of the order @n.

CCOMP: An efficient algorithm for complex roots computation of determinantal equations

TL;DR: A free Python algorithm, entitled CCOMP (Complex roots COMPutation), is developed for the efficient computation of complex roots of determinantal equations inside a prescribed complex domain through the efficient determination of the candidate points inside the domain which, in their close neighborhood, a complex root may lie.

Space-time dependency modeling using general classes of flexible stationary variogram models

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a generalization of the Shapiro and Botha approach for the case of anisotropy in two components with a view to obtaining flexible stationary variogram models suitable for modeling spatiotemporal dependency.
