Expand description
Bessel functions of integer order: J_n, Y_n (first/second kind) and the modified
I_n, K_n. The order-0 functions come from their convergent power series (with the
log + harmonic-number terms for the second kinds); order 1 from the Wronskian
relations; higher orders from the standard upward recurrences. Accurate for moderate
|x| (the series converge for all x but lose digits for large argument — documented).
Functions§
- bessel_
i - Modified Bessel function of the first kind
I_n(x), integer order.I_{-n} = I_n. - bessel_
j - Bessel function of the first kind
J_n(x), integer order (any sign). Defined for all realx.J_{-n} = (−1)^n J_n. - bessel_
k - Modified Bessel function of the second kind
K_n(x), integer ordern ≥ 0. Requiresx > 0→Noneotherwise. Order 1 via the WronskianI_0 K_1 + I_1 K_0 = 1/x; higher viaK_{n+1} = (2n/x)K_n + K_{n-1}. - bessel_
y - Bessel function of the second kind
Y_n(x), integer ordern ≥ 0. Requiresx > 0(singular at the origin) →Noneotherwise. Order 1 via the WronskianJ_1 Y_0 − J_0 Y_1 = 2/(πx); higher viaY_{n+1} = (2n/x)Y_n − Y_{n-1}.
