A Fast Algorithm to Compute l(1/2, f x chi_q)

Let $f$ be a fixed (holomorphic or Maass) modular cusp form. Let $\cq$ be a Dirichlet character mod $q$. We describe a fast algorithm that computes the value $L(1/2,f\times\chi_q)$ up to any specified precision. In the case when $q$ is smooth or highly composite integer, the time complexity of the algorithm is given by $O(1+|q|^{5/6+o(1)})$.
