In http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/16782, I propose a patch implementing the Riemann Zeta function for complex intervals.
For bounding the errors, I needed some rather boring estimates, in particular explicitly bounding errors in Taylor's theorem in my situation. These boring estimates now exist in the form of a TeX file (translating to 2 pages PDF) on my hard disk. I suppose that this is not an ideal solution, because reviewers might want to check what I did without having to do everything by themselves, and the same holds for future extensions/bugfixes etc. I find none of the following possibilities very appealing: - keep it on my hard disk (that is probably the traditional approach in mathematical papers, the boring details are somewhat buried and inaccessible). - Moving the TeX-code into the docstring (we are speaking about 2 pages, after all). - Moving the TeX-code as comments into the code (same problem and you'd have to read the TeX code instead of a compiled version). - Putting it into arxiv (way to boring content for arxiv). - Putting it onto my web page and inserting a link to it (may be a compromise) Is there any canonical place for such background documentation, possibly within the sage source tree? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
