Jn(x) is the Bessel function of the first kind of order n, where both x and n are given. |
The Bessel function is defined by
Generally the power series for is not computationally useful. More useful are recurrence relations and rational approximations of
and
.
The recurrences are
The treatment of the cases x n and x > n is completely different for the sake of accuracy.
