Arguments

1:     $\mathbf{x}$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input

On entry: the argument $x$ of the function.

Constraint: $\mathbf{x}$ must not be ‘too close’ (see Section 6) to a non-positive integer.

2:     $\mathbf{k}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the function ${\psi }^{\left(k\right)}\left(x\right)$ to be evaluated.

Constraint: $0\le \mathbf{k}\le 6$.

3:     $\mathbf{ifail}$ – IntegerInput/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to $0$, $-1\text{ or }1$. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 3.4 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for details.

For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value $-1\text{ or }1$ is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is $0$. When the value $-\mathbf{1}\text{ or }\mathbf{1}$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit: $\mathbf{ifail}=\mathbf{0}$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

Error Indicators and Warnings

$\mathbf{ifail}=1$

On entry, $\mathbf{k}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{k}\le 6$.

On entry, $\mathbf{k}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{k}\ge 0$.

On entry, x is ‘too close’ to a non-positive integer: $\mathbf{x}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$ and $\mathrm{nint}\left(\mathbf{x}\right)=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.

$\mathbf{ifail}=2$

Evaluation abandoned due to likelihood of underflow.

$\mathbf{ifail}=3$

Evaluation abandoned due to likelihood of overflow.

$\mathbf{ifail}=-99$
