s18gkf (bessel_​j_​seq_​complex)

1 Purpose

s18gkf returns a sequence of values for the Bessel functions Jα+n-1z or Jα-n+1z for complex z, non-negative α<1 and n=1,2,,N+1.

2 Specification

Fortran Interface
Subroutine s18gkf ( z, a, nl, b, ifail)
Integer, Intent (In) :: nl
Integer, Intent (Inout) :: ifail
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In) :: a
Complex (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In) :: z

C Header Interface
#include <nag.h>
void  s18gkf_ (const Complex *z, const double *a, const Integer *nl, Complex b[], Integer *ifail)
The routine may be called by the names s18gkf or nagf_specfun_bessel_j_seq_complex.

3 Description

s18gkf evaluates a sequence of values for the Bessel function of the first kind Jαz, where z is complex and nonzero and α is the order with 0α<1. The N+1-member sequence is generated for orders α,α+1,,α+N when N0. Note that + is replaced by - when N<0. For positive orders the routine may also be called with z=0, since Jq0=0 when q>0. For negative orders the formula
J-qz=cosπqJqz-sinπqYqz  
is used to generate the required sequence. The appropriate values of Jqz and Yqz are obtained by calls to s17dcf and s17def.

5 Arguments

1: z Complex (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: the argument z of the function.
Constraint: z0.0,0.0 when nl<0.
2: a Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: the order α of the first member in the required sequence of function values.
Constraint: 0.0a<1.0.
3: nl Integer Input
On entry: the value of N.
Constraint: absnl101.
4: babsnl+1 Complex (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: with ifail=0 or 3, the required sequence of function values: bn contains J α+n-1 z if nl0 and J α-n+1 z otherwise, for n=1,2,,absnl+1.
5: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1 or 1 to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of 0 causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of -1 means that an error message is printed while a value of 1 means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value -1 or 1 is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, the value 0 is recommended. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or -1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
ifail=1
On entry, nl=value.
Constraint: nl101.
On entry, a=value.
Constraint: a<1.0.
On entry, a=value.
Constraint: a0.0.
On entry, nl=value.
Constraint: when nl<0, z0.0,0.0.
ifail=2
Computation abandoned due to the likelihood of overflow.
ifail=3
Computation completed but some precision has been lost.
ifail=4
Computation abandoned due to total loss of precision.
ifail=5
Computation abandoned due to failure to satisfy the termination condition.
ifail=-99

7 Accuracy

All constants in s17dcf and s17def are specified to approximately 18 digits of precision. If t denotes the number of digits of precision in the floating-point arithmetic being used, then clearly the maximum number of correct digits in the results obtained is limited by p=mint,18. Because of errors in argument reduction when computing elementary functions inside s17dcf and s17def, the actual number of correct digits is limited, in general, by p-s, where s max1,log10z,log10α represents the number of digits lost due to the argument reduction. Thus the larger the values of z and α, the less the precision in the result.

8 Parallelism and Performance

s18gkf is not threaded in any implementation.
