1: $result$ – double scalar: The result of the function.
2: $ifail$ – int64int32nag_int scalar: $ifail = 0$ unless the function detects an error (see Error Indicators and Warnings).

Error Indicators and Warnings

There are no actual failure exits from this function. ifail is always set to zero. This argument is included for compatibility with other functions in this chapter.

Accuracy

Relative errors in the argument are attenuated when propagated into the function value. When the accuracy of the argument is essentially limited by the machine precision, the accuracy of the function value will be similarly limited by at most a small multiple of the machine precision.

Further Comments

None.

Example

This example reads values of the argument

x

from a file, evaluates the function at each value of

x

and prints the results.

Open in the MATLAB editor: s18ce_example

function s18ce_example


fprintf('s18ce example results\n\n');

x = [0  0.5  1   3   6  10  1000  -1];
n = size(x,2);
result = x;

for j=1:n
  [result(j), ifail] = s18ce(x(j));
end

disp('      x       e^-|x| I_0(x)');
fprintf('%12.3e%12.3e\n',[x; result]);
