DESCRIPTION

Compute the modified spherical Bessel function of the second kind and order 1, k(1,x).

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).


CAVEAT

Although in mathematics, uppercase letters name the ordinary and modified Bessel functions, and lowercase letters name the spherical Bessel functions, the lowercase names of the POSIX Bessel functions mean the former, not the latter.

The k(n,x) functions fall exponentially with increasing x, and underflow 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 sbks1(3CW).


RETURN VALUES

If the argument is finite, its modified spherical Bessel function value of the second kind and order 1 is returned. Otherwise, a quiet NaN is returned.

ERRORS

If the argument is a NaN, errno is set to EDOM, and that NaN is returned.
