Abstract

The Lanczos @t-method, with perturbations proportional to Faber polynomials, is employed to approximate the Bessel functions of the first kind J"v(z) and the second kind Y"v(z), the Hankel functions of the first kind H"v^(^1^)(z) and the second kind H"v^(^2^)(z) of integer order v for specific outer regions of the complex plane, i.e. |z| = R for some R. The scaled symbolic representation of the Faber polynomials and the appropriate automated @t-method approximation are introduced. Both symbolic and numerical computation are discussed. In addition, numerical experiments are employed to test the proposed @t-method. Computed accuracy for J"0(z) and Y"0(z) for |z| = 8 are presented. The results are compared with those obtained from the truncated Chebyshev series approximations and with those of the @t-method approximations on the inner disk |z| =
