== History ==
The idea was introduced more than thirty years ago by [[W.J. Lentz]]. Lentz suggested that calculating ratios of spherical Bessel functions of complex arguments can be difficult. He developed a new continued fraction technique for calculating them. This method was an improvement compared to other methods because it eliminated errors on certain terms or provided zero as a result.<ref>{{Cite book|last=J.|first=Lentz, W.|url=http://worldcat.org/oclc/227549426|title=A Simplification of Lentz's Algorithm.|date=August 1982|publisher=Defense Technical Information Center|oclc=227549426}}</ref>
