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.
