NAME
j0, j1, jn - Bessel functions of the first kind
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double j0(double x);
double j1(double x);
double jn(int n, double x);
DESCRIPTION
The j0(), j1(), and jn() functions shall compute Bessel functions of x of the first kind of orders 0, 1, and n, respectively.
An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these
functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error
has occurred.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the relevant Bessel value of x of the first kind.
If the x argument is too large in magnitude, or the correct result would cause underflow, 0 shall be returned and a range error may occur.
If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
ERRORS
These functions may fail if:
Range Error
The value of x was too large in magnitude, or an underflow occurred.
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the integer expression
(math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the underflow floating-point exception shall be raised.
No other errors shall occur.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but at
least one of them must be non-zero.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
