Keywords: Parton distributions, Next-to-leading order evolution, Elementary particle physics, Phenomenological model.
Programming language used: C++
Computer: PC (Athlon, 1.6 GHz) .

Nature of physical problem:
Parameterizations of parton distributions are usually given at a fixed input scale Q0. To be used in perturbative calculations, they have to be evolved numerically to the desired scale Q.

Method of solution:
Inverse Mellin transform method.

Restrictions:
None.

Typical running time:
10**2s on a standard PC for an accuracy of 0.02%, see also sect. 5.
