Chapter 6: Bessel Functions

BSIS

Evaluates a sequence of modified Bessel functions of the first kind with real order and real positive arguments.

Required Arguments

XNU — Real argument which is the lowest order desired.   (Input)
It must be greater than or equal to zero and less than one.

X — Real argument for which the sequence of Bessel functions is to be evaluated.   (Input)

N — Number of elements in the sequence.   (Input)

BSI — Vector of length N containing the values of the function through the series.   (Output)
BSI(I) contains the value of the Bessel function of order I − 1 + XNU at x for I = 1 to N.

FORTRAN 90 Interface

Generic:                              CALL BSIS (XNU, X, N, BSI)

Specific:                             The specific interface names are S_BSIS and D_BSIS.

FORTRAN 77 Interface

Single:                                CALL BSIS (XNU, X, N, BSI)

Double:                              The double precision name is DBSIS.

Description

The Bessel function Iv(x) is defined to be

The input x must be nonnegative and less than or equal to log(b) (b = AMACH(2), the largest representable number). The argument ν = XNU must satisfy 0 ≤ ν ≤ 1.

Function BSIS is based on a code due to Cody (1983), which uses backward recursion.

Example

In this example, Iv1(10.0), ν = 1, …, 10 is computed and printed.
