AKER1

AKER1

This function evaluates the Kelvin function of the second kind, ker, of order one.

Function Return Value

AKER1 — Function value. (Output)

Required Arguments

X — Argument for which the function value is desired. (Input)
It must be nonnegative.

FORTRAN 90 Interface

Generic: AKER1 (X)

Specific: The specific interface names are S_AKER1 and D_AKER1.

FORTRAN 77 Interface

Single: AKER1 (X)

Double: The double precision name is DKER1.

Description

The modified Kelvin function ker1(x) is defined to be

. The Bessel function K1(x) is defined in BSK1. Function AKER1 is based on the work of Burgoyne (1963).

If x < 0, then NaN (not a number) is returned. If x ≥ 119, then zero is returned.

Example

In this example, ker1(0.4) is computed and printed.

USE AKER1_INT

USE UMACH_INT

IMPLICIT NONE

! Declare variables

INTEGER NOUT

REAL VALUE, X

! Compute

X = 0.4

VALUE = AKER1(X)

! Print the results

CALL UMACH (2, NOUT)

WRITE (NOUT,99999) X, VALUE

99999 FORMAT (' AKER1(', F6.3, ') = ', F6.3)

END

Output

AKER1( 0.400) = -1.882
