jn

function

Library: Bessel functions (OMBESSEL legacy)
Include: ombessel.xin

Returns: A Bessel function of the first kind: order n.


Declaration
define external float function
     jn (value integer n, value float x)


Purpose

Use jn to calculate the Bessel function of the first kind (order n) for any value of x.

Example:

  include "ombessel.xin"
  process
     local integer x initial {2}
     local float y initial {17.5}   
     local float jn-bessel
     set jn-bessel to jn (x, y)
     output "A jn Bessel function of the first kind, order "
         || "d" % x
         || ", of "
         || "d" % y
         || " = "
         || "d" % jn-bessel
         || "%n"
  ; Output: "A jn Bessel function of the first kind, order 2, of 17.5 = 0.084433830294314"
