摘要
Bounds of asymmetric Doppler broadening function chi(x, theta) are obtained ab initio from application of Steffensen's inequality. It is shown how these bounds and their averages provide approximations for the function to any desired accuracy. These bounds along with similar bound approximations for psi(x, theta) lead to bounds for temperature and energy derivatives of Doppler broadening functions. Accuracies of the approximations for the derivatives are also discussed. It is demonstrated that calculation of derivatives to desired accuracies require psi and chi functions evaluated with higher relative accuracies. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
