j0 j1 jn — Bessel functions of the first kind


#include <math.h>

double j0(double x);
double j1(double x);
double jn(int n, double x);

The j0 (), (), and () functions shall compute Bessel functions of x of the first kind of orders 0, 1, and , respectively.

An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to zero and call (FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or (FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.

Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the relevant Bessel value of x of the first kind.

If the x argument is too large in magnitude, or the correct result would cause underflow, 0 shall be returned and a range error may occur.

If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

These functions may fail if:

The value of x was too large in magnitude, or an underflow occurred.

If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the underflow floating-point exception shall be raised.

No other errors shall occur.

None.

On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.

None.

None.

First released in Issue 1. Derived from Issue 1 of the SVID.

The DESCRIPTION is updated to indicate how an application should check for an error. This text was previously published in the APPLICATION USAGE section.

The may fail [EDOM] error is removed for the case for NaN.

The RETURN VALUE and ERRORS sections are reworked for alignment of the error handling with the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (“ISO C99”) standard.
