It follows from our analysis that the values of D-finite functions (i.e., functions described as solutions of linear differential equations with polynomial coefficients) may be computed with error bounded by $2^{ - p }$ in time $\mathrm{O} (p (\lg p)^{3 + o (1)})$ and space $O (p)$. The standard fast algorithm for this task, due to Chudnovsky and Chudnovsky, achieves the same time complexity bound but requires $\Theta (p \lg p)$ bits of memory. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-642-32973-9\_18} \end
