✦ Synopsis

Portable Fortran subroutines computing the Fermi-Dirac integral
F
~j~
(x) and the incomplete Fermi-Dirac integral
F
~j~
(x,b) are presented. For the first time a set of series expansions is implemented allowing these special functions to be evaluated efficiently within a prescribed accuracy for real
j
and
x
.
