Important Notice
The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,
purely for historical purposes.
If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming,
you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.
Bessel Functions
◄Summary► ◄Example► ◄Up► ◄Contents► ◄Index► ◄Back►
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The j0, j1, and jn routines return Bessel functions of the first
kind: orders 0, 1, and n, respectively.
The y0, y1, and yn routines return Bessel functions of the second
kind: orders 0, 1, and n, respectively. The argument <x> must be
positive.
The long double functions use an 80-bit long double form of
arguments and return values. In all other respects, they are
identical to the regular functions.
Return Value
These functions return the result of a Bessel function of <x>.
The y0, y1, and yn routines, if <x> is negative, set errno to
EDOM, print a DOMAIN error message to stderr, and return
-HUGE_VAL.
Error handling can be modified by using the matherr (or _matherrl)
routine.
