DESCRIPTION
The j0() and j1() functions return Bessel functions of
x of the first kind
of orders 0 and 1, respectively. The jn() function returns the Bessel function
of x of the first
kind of order n.
The y0() and y1() functions return Bessel functions of
x of the second kind
of orders 0 and 1, respectively. The yn() function returns the Bessel function
of x of the second
kind of order n.
For the functions y0(),
y1() and yn(), the value of x must be positive. For
negative values of x,
these functions return −HUGE_VAL.
The j0f() etc. and
j0l() etc. functions are
versions that take and return float
and long double values,
respectively.
CONFORMING TO
The functions returning double
conform to SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.
BUGS
There are errors of up to 2e−16 in the values
returned by j0(), j1() and jn()
for values of x
between −8 and 8.
