Figure 2. (a) Entropy of an ideal Fermi gas in the harmonic trap as a function of the reduced temperature and (b) the relative error between the exact and approximated results. The black solid curve, red squares, and blue circles indicate the results obtained from the numerical and analytical approach in low- and high-temperature regime, respectively.
