BSKS
Evaluates a sequence of modified Bessel functions of the second kind of fractional order.
Required Arguments
XNU — Fractional order of the function. (Input)
XNU must be less than one in absolute value.
X — Argument for which the sequence of Bessel functions is to be evaluated. (Input)
NIN — Number of elements in the sequence. (Input)
BK — Vector of length NIN containing the values of the function through the series. (Output)
FORTRAN 90 Interface
Generic: CALL BSKS (XNU, X, NIN, BK)
Specific: The specific interface names are S_BSKS and D_BSKS.
FORTRAN 77 Interface
Single: CALL BSKS (XNU, X, NIN, BK)
Double: The double precision name is DBSKS.
Description
The Bessel function Kv(x) is defined to be
Currently, v is restricted to be less than one in absolute value. A total of n values is stored in the array BK. For positive n, BK(1) = Kv(x), BK(2) = Kv+1(x), , BK(n) = Kv+n1(x). For negative n, BK(1) = Kv(x), BK(2) = Kv1(x), , BK(n) = Kv+n+1
BSKS is based on the work of Cody (1983).
Comments
1. If NIN is positive, BK(1) contains the value of the function of order XNU, BK(2) contains the value of the function of order XNU + 1, and BK(NIN) contains the value of the function of order XNU + NIN  1.
2. If NIN is negative, BK(1) contains the value of the function of order XNU, BK(2) contains the value of the function of order XNU  1, and BK(ABS(NIN)) contains the value of the function of order XNU + NIN + 1.
Example
In this example, Kv1(10.0), v = 1, , 10 is computed and printed.
