y1(), y1f()

Compute a Bessel function of the second kind of order 1

Synopsis:

#include <math.h>

double y1( double x );

float y1f( float x );

Arguments:

x: The number that you want to compute the Bessel function for.

Library:

libm

Use the -l m option to qcc to link against this library.

Description:

These functions compute the Bessel function for x of the second kind of order 1.

To check for error situations, use feclearexcept() and fetestexcept(). For example:

Call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling y1() or y1f().
On return, if fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) is nonzero, then an error has occurred.

Returns:

The result of the Bessel function for x of second kind of order 1.

If `x` is:	These functions return:	Errors:
Negative, including -Inf	NaN	FE_INVALID
0.0	-Inf	FE_DIVBYZERO
NaN	NaN	—
Inf	0.0	—

If the correct result would cause:	These functions return:	Errors:
Overflow	-Inf	FE_OVERFLOW
Underflow	0.0

These functions raise FE_INEXACT if the FPU reports that the result can't be exactly represented as a floating-point number.

Examples:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <fenv.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main( void )
{
    int except_flags;
    double x, y, z;

    feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);

    x = j0( 2.4 );

    except_flags = fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
    if(except_flags) {
        /* An error occurred; handle it appropriately. */
    }

    feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);

    y = y1( 1.58 );

    except_flags = fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
    if(except_flags) {
        /* An error occurred; handle it appropriately. */
    }

    feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);

    z = jn( 3, 2.4 );

    except_flags = fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
    if(except_flags) {
        /* An error occurred; handle it appropriately. */
    }

    printf( "j0(2.4) = %f, y1(1.58) = %f\n", x, y );
    printf( "jn(3,2.4) = %f\n", z );

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Classification:

y1() is POSIX 1003.1 XSI; y1f() is Unix
