A rational function is presented for approximating the function f (z)=coth z‐1/z that appears in several exponentially fitted or weighted finite difference and finite element methods for convection‐diffusion problems. The approximation is less expensive to evaluate than f (z) and provides greater accuracy than the doubly asymptotic approximation when z = O (n1).
