NAME¶

std::cyl_bessel_j,std::cyl_bessel_jf,std::cyl_bessel_jl - std::cyl_bessel_j,std::cyl_bessel_jf,std::cyl_bessel_jl

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <cmath>
double cyl_bessel_j( double ν, double x );

float cyl_bessel_jf( float ν, float x ); (1) (since C++17)

long double cyl_bessel_jl( long double ν, long double x );
Promoted cyl_bessel_j( Arithmetic ν, Arithmetic x ); (2) (since C++17)

1) Computes the cylindrical Bessel function of the first kind of ν and x.
2) A set of overloads or a function template for all combinations of arguments of
arithmetic type not covered by (1). If any argument has integral type, it is cast to
double. If any argument is long double, then the return type Promoted is also long
double, otherwise the return type is always double.

Parameters¶

ν - the order of the function
x - the argument of the function

Return value¶

If no errors occur, value of the cylindrical Bessel function of the first kind of ν
and x, that is J
ν(x) = Σ∞
k=0

(-1)k
(x/2)ν+2k
k!Γ(ν+k+1)

(for x≥0), is returned.

Error handling¶

Errors may be reported as specified in math_errhandling:

* If the argument is NaN, NaN is returned and domain error is not reported
* If ν>=128, the behavior is implementation-defined

Notes¶

Implementations that do not support C++17, but support ISO 29124:2010, provide this
function if __STDCPP_MATH_SPEC_FUNCS__ is defined by the implementation to a value
at least 201003L and if the user defines __STDCPP_WANT_MATH_SPEC_FUNCS__ before
including any standard library headers.

Implementations that do not support ISO 29124:2010 but support TR 19768:2007 (TR1),
provide this function in the header tr1/cmath and namespace std::tr1.

An implementation of this function is also available in boost.math

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
// spot check for ν == 0
double x = 1.2345;
std::cout << "J_0(" << x << ") = " << std::cyl_bessel_j(0, x) << '\n';

// series expansion for J_0
double fct = 1;
double sum = 0;
for(int k = 0; k < 6; fct*=++k) {
sum += std::pow(-1, k)*std::pow((x/2),2*k) / std::pow(fct,2);
std::cout << "sum = " << sum << '\n';
}
}

Output:¶

J_0(1.2345) = 0.653792
sum = 1
sum = 0.619002
sum = 0.655292
sum = 0.653756
sum = 0.653793
sum = 0.653792
