The modified spherical Bessel functions provided by these software implementations are defined according to Chapter 10, Bessel Functions of Fractional Order, of the Handbook of Mathematical Functions, edited by Milton Abramowitz and Irene A. Stegun, National Bureau of Standards Applied Mathematics Series #55, US Department of Commerce, Washington, DC (1964).
The i(n,x) functions grow exponentially with increasing x, and overflow even with moderate x values. For that reason, there is a related family of functions that return values of this Bessel function reduced by a factor of exp(-x); see bis0(3CW).
