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 SVID 3, BSD 4.3, XPG4, POSIX 1003.1-2001. The other functions are C99 requirements.

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.
