Bessel function of second kind of integer order.

Interface

#include <codecogs/maths/special/bessel/y/y.h>

using namespace Maths::Special::Bessel::Y;

double Y(double x, double v)

Overview

A Bessel function of the second kind $Y_v(x)$ is sometimes also denoted using $N_n(x)$ and is a solution to the differential equation

$x^2 \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + x \frac{dy}{dx} + (x^2 - v^2)y = 0$

(1)

with $I_v(x)$ and $I_{-v}(x)$ being the other solutions. See i

This solution has a regular singularity at 0 and an irregular singularity at $\infty$ .

The function is evaluated by forward recurrence on n, starting with values computed by the routines y0() and y1().

If n = 0 or 1 the routine for Y0 or Y1 is called directly.

Accuracy:

Absolute error, except relative when y > 1: <pre> domain # trials peak rms 0, 30 2200 2.9e-16 5.3e-17 0, 30 30000 3.4e-15 4.3e-16 </pre>

Example 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <codecogs/maths/special/bessel/y/y.h>

int main()
{
  printf("\nY\n  x      v=0      v=1      v=2      v=3      v=4      v=5");
  for(double x=1; x<7; x++)
  {
    printf("\nx=%.1lf",x);
    for(int v=0;v<=5;v++)
      printf(" %8.6lf", Maths::Special::Bessel::Y::Y(x,v));
  }
  return 0;
}

Output:

FUNCTION

Y

Returns the Bessel function of the second kind with real order v.

If the order v is an interger then the integer form of Y is used, otherwise the solution is constructed from a combination of J and Maths/Special/Bessel/K/K:

$Y_v(x) = \frac{ \cos( \pi v ) J_v(x) - K_{-v}(x) }{\sin(\pi v)}$

(2)

This function has not been tested to be correct or accurate. It maks use of the Bessel K (K), which currently does not accept a real order. When Bessel K is updated, it is expected this function will then work appropriately. Use with care.
