<p>
Bessel Functions are solutions to Bessel's ordinary differential equation:
</p>
<p>
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/bessel1.png"></span>
</p>
<p>
where ν   is the <span class="emphasis"><em>order</em></span> of the equation, and may be an arbitrary
real or complex number, although integer orders are the most common occurrence.
</p>
<p>
This library supports either integer or real orders.
</p>
<p>
Since this is a second order differential equation, there must be two linearly
independent solutions, the first of these is denoted J<sub>v</sub>  
and known as a Bessel
function of the first kind:
</p>
<p>
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/bessel2.png"></span>
</p>
<p>
This function is implemented in this library as <a class="link" href="bessel_first.html" title="Bessel Functions of the First and Second Kinds">cyl_bessel_j</a>.
</p>
<p>
The second solution is denoted either Y<sub>v</sub>   or N<sub>v</sub>  
and is known as either a Bessel
Function of the second kind, or as a Neumann function:
</p>
<p>
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/bessel3.png"></span>
</p>
<p>
This function is implemented in this library as <a class="link" href="bessel_first.html" title="Bessel Functions of the First and Second Kinds">cyl_neumann</a>.
</p>
<p>
The Bessel functions satisfy the recurrence relations:

<p>
The Bessel functions are valid for complex argument <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>,
and an important special case is the situation where <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>
is purely imaginary: giving a real valued result. In this case the functions
are the two linearly independent solutions to the modified Bessel equation:
</p>
<p>
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/mbessel1.png"></span>
</p>
<p>
The solutions are known as the modified Bessel functions of the first and
second kind (or occasionally as the hyperbolic Bessel functions of the first
and second kind). They are denoted I<sub>v</sub>   and K<sub>v</sub>  
respectively:
</p>
<p>
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/mbessel2.png"></span>
</p>
<p>
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/mbessel3.png"></span>

These functions are implemented in this library as <a class="link" href="mbessel.html" title="Modified Bessel Functions of the First and Second Kinds">cyl_bessel_i</a>
and <a class="link" href="mbessel.html" title="Modified Bessel Functions of the First and Second Kinds">cyl_bessel_k</a> respectively.
</p>
<p>
The modified Bessel functions satisfy the recurrence relations:

When solving the Helmholtz equation in spherical coordinates by separation
of variables, the radial equation has the form:
</p>
<p>
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/sbessel1.png"></span>
</p>
<p>
The two linearly independent solutions to this equation are called the spherical
Bessel functions j<sub>n</sub>   and y<sub>n</sub>  , and are related to the ordinary Bessel functions
J<sub>n</sub>   and Y<sub>n</sub>   by:
</p>
<p>
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/sbessel2.png"></span>
</p>
<p>
The spherical Bessel function of the second kind y<sub>n</sub>  
is also known as the spherical
Neumann function n<sub>n</sub>.
