bessel_Yx
Evaluates a sequence of Bessel functions of the second kind with real order and complex arguments.
Synopsis
#include <imsl.h>
f_complex *imsl_c_bessel_Yx (float xnu, f_complex z, int n, …, 0)
The type d_complex function is imsl_z_bessel_Yx.
Required Arguments
float xnu (Input)
The lowest order desired. The argument xnu must be greater than −1/2.
f_complex z (Input)
Argument for which the sequence of Bessel functions is to be evaluated.
int n (Input)
Number of elements in the sequence.
Return Value
A pointer to the n values of the function through the series. Element i contains the value of the Bessel function of order xnu + i for i = 0, …, n − 1.
Synopsis with Optional Arguments
#include <imsl.h>
f_complex *imsl_c_bessel_Yx (float xnu, f_complex z, int n,
IMSL_RETURN_USER, f_complex bessel[],
0)
Optional Arguments
IMSL_RETURN_USER, f_complex bessel[] (Output)
Store the sequence of Bessel functions in the user-provided array bessel[].
Description
The Bessel function Yv(z) is defined to be
This function is based on the code BESSCC of Barnett (1981) and Thompson and Barnett (1987). This code computes Yv(z) from the modified Bessel functions Iv(z) and Kv(z), using the following relation:
Example
In this example, Y0.3+n-1 (1.2 + 0.5i), ν = 1, …, 4 is computed and printed.
#include <imsl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int n = 4;
int i;
float xnu = 0.3;
static f_complex z = {1.2, 0.5};
f_complex *sequence;
sequence = imsl_c_bessel_Yx(xnu, z, n, 0);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
printf("Y sub %4.2f ((%4.2f,%4.2f)) = (%5.3f,%5.3f)\n",
xnu+i, z.re, z.im, sequence[i].re, sequence[i].im);
}
Output
Y sub 0.30 ((1.20,0.50)) =(-0.013,0.380)
Y sub 1.30 ((1.20,0.50)) =(-0.716,0.338)
Y sub 2.30 ((1.20,0.50)) =(-1.048,0.795)
Y sub 3.30 ((1.20,0.50)) =(-1.625,3.684)
