CBYS
Evaluates a sequence of Bessel functions of the second kind with real order and complex arguments.
Required Arguments
XNU — Real argument which is the lowest order desired. (Input)
XNU must be greater than –1/2.

Description
The Bessel function Yν(z) is defined to be
This code is based on the code BESSEC of Barnett (1981) and Thompson and Barnett (1987).
This code computes Yν(z) from the modified Bessel functions Iν(z) and Kν(z), CBIS and CBKS, using the following relation:
CBYS implements the Yousif and Melka (Y&M) algorithm (Yousif and Melka(2003)) for approximating Yν (z) with a Taylor series expansion when x ~ 0 or ~ 0, where complex argument z = x + iy and “x ~ 0” == “x < amach(4)”. To be consistent with the existing CBYS argument definitions, the original Y&M algorithm, which was limited to integral order and to (x ~ 0 and y  0) or (y ~ 0 and x  0), has been generalized to also work for integral and real order ν > -1, and for (x ~ 0 and y < 0) and (y ~ 0 and x < 0).
To deal with the Bessel function discontinuity occurring at the negative x axis, the following procedure is used for calculating the Y&M approximation of Yν (z) with argument z = x + iy when ((x ~ 0 and y < 0) or (y ~ 0 and x < 0)):
1. Calculate the Y&M approximation of Yν (-z).
2. If (y > 0), use forward rotation, otherwise use backward rotation, to calculate the Bessel function Yν (z), where the “forward” and “backward” rotation transformations are defined as:
forward: Yν (z) = i2ν Yν (-z) + 2i cos(νπ)Jν (-z)
backward: Yν (z) = i2ν Yν (-z- 2i cos(νπ)Jν (-z)
These definitions are based on Abromowitz and Stegun (1972), eq. 9.1.36: Yν (zemπ i ) = emνπ i Yν (z) + 2i sin(mνπ) cot(νπ)Jν (z), where m = 1 represents forward transformation and m = -1 represents backward transformation. These specified rotations insure that the continuous rotation transformation Yν (-z Yν (z) does not cross the negative x axis, so no discontinuity is encountered.
Comments
1. Workspace may be explicitly provided, if desired, by use of C2YS/DC2Y. The reference is:
CALL C2YS (XNU, Z, N, CBS, FK)
The additional argument is:
FK — complex work vector of length N.
