J0(3) BSD Library Functions Manual J0(3)NAME
j0, j1, jn, y0, y1, yn — bessel functions of first and second kind
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
j0(double x);

jn(int n, double x);
double
y0(double x);
double
y1(double x);

yn(int n, double x);
DESCRIPTION
The functions j0(x) and j1(x) compute the Bessel function of the first
kind of the order 0 and the order 1, respectively; the function jn(n, x)
computes the Bessel function of the first kind of the integer order n.
The functions y0(x) and y1(x) compute the linearly independent Bessel
function of the second kind of the order 0 and the order 1, respectively,
for the positive integer value x (expressed as a double); the function
yn(n, x) computes the Bessel function of the second kind for the integer
order n for the positive integer value x (expressed as a double).
SPECIAL VALUESj0(0) returns 1.
j0(�infinity) returns 0.
j0(NaN) returns a NaN.
j1(0) returns 0.
j1(+infinity) returns 0.
j1(NaN) returns a NaN.
y0(0) , y1(0) , and yn(n, 0) all return -infinity and raise the "divi‐
sion-by-zero" floating-point flag.
