Have you tested it for ellipses with h greater than 0.6? Although that statement should be valid for the extreme case in my examples (a = 20 and b = 0), the errors would show up starting from the fifth and sixth decimals (a =20; b = 19 and b = 18, respectively - anyway, that’s one more exact digit when compared to the approximation I have used, for these two examples).
You are using Cantrell-Ramanujan approximation, described at the end of this article.
