Name
       j0, j1, jn, y0, y1, yn - bessel functions

Syntax
       #include <math.h>

       double j0(x)
       double x;

       double j1(x)
       double x;

       double jn(n,x)
       double x;

       double y0(x)
       double x;

       double y1(x)
       double x;

       double yn(n,x)
       double x;

Description
       These functions calculate bessel functions of the first and second kinds for real arguments and integer orders.

Return Values
       Negative arguments cause and to return NaN.  Arguments too large in magnitude cause and to return NaN.

       Arguments too large in magnitude cause and to return zero.

Environment
       When  your program is compiled using the System V environment, nonpositive arguments cause and to return the value HUGE and to set errno to
       EDOM.  In addition, a message indicating DOMAIN error is printed on the standard error output.

       Arguments too large in magnitude cause and to return zero and to set errno to ERANGE.  In addition, a message  indicating  TLOSS  error	is
       printed on the standard error output.

       These error-handling procedures may be changed with the function.

DESCRIPTION

       The j0(), j0f(), j0l(), j1(), j1f(), and j1l() functions return the value of the Bessel function of the first kind of orders 0  (zero)  and
       1, respectively.

       The jn(), jnf(), and jnl() functions return the value of the Bessel function of the first kind of order n.

       The y0(), y0f(), y0l(), y1(), y1f(), and y1l() functions return the value of the Bessel functions of the second kind of orders 0 (zero) and
       1, respectively.

       The yn(), ynf(), and ynl()  functions return the value of the Bessel function of the second kind of order n.

       The following table describes function behavior in response to exceptional arguments:

       --------------------------------------------------------------
       Function 	     Exceptional Argument   Routine Behavior
       --------------------------------------------------------------
       j0(), j1(), jn()      None		    N/A
       j0f(), j1f(), jnf()   None		    N/A
       j0l(), j1l(), jnl()   None		    N/A
       y0(), y1(), yn()      x < 0		    Invalid argument
       y0f(), y1f(), ynf()   x < 0		    Invalid argument
       y0l(), y1l(), ynl()   x < 0		    Invalid argument
       y0(), y1(), yn()      x = 0		    Overflow
       y0f(), y1f(), ynf()   x = 0		    Overflow
       y0l(), y1l(), ynl()   x = 0		    Overflow
       --------------------------------------------------------------

       The j1() and jn() functions can result in an underflow as x gets small.	The largest value of x for which this occurs is a function of n.

       The y1() and yn() functions can result in an overflow as x gets small.  The largest value of x for which this occurs is a function of n.
