Abstract
The accuracy of the power-law approximation of the exponential functions appearing in the solution of the one-dimensional convection-diffusion equation is improved by an additional term derived in this note. An application in which this modification leads to a significant improvement in accuracy is described. Time trials, however, indicate that the use of partial exponential approximations can be faster than both the original and modified power-law approximations.
