I have seen much worse than two pages of boring computations of errir
estimates that lead to potentially useful code published in arxiv. I would
go for that.

In http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/16782, I propose a patch implementing
the
Riemann Zeta function for complex intervals.
For bounding the errors, I needed some rather boring estimates, in
particular
explicitly bounding errors in Taylor's theorem in my situation. These
boring
estimates now exist in the form of a TeX file (translating to 2 pages PDF)
on my
hard disk.
I suppose that this is not an ideal solution, because reviewers might want
to
check what I did without having to do everything by themselves, and the
same
holds for future extensions/bugfixes etc.
I find none of the following possibilities very appealing:
- keep it on my hard disk (that is probably the traditional approach in
mathematical papers, the boring details are somewhat buried and
inaccessible).
- Moving the TeX-code into the docstring (we are speaking about 2 pages,
after all).
- Moving the TeX-code as comments into the code (same problem and you'd
have to
read the TeX code instead of a compiled version).
- Putting it into arxiv (way to boring content for arxiv).
- Putting it onto my web page and inserting a link to it (may be a
compromise)
Is there any canonical place for such background documentation, possibly
within
the sage source tree?
