NAME

       y0, y1, yn — Bessel functions of the second kind

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       double y0(double x);
       double y1(double x);
       double yn(int n, double x);

DESCRIPTION

       The  y0(), y1(), and yn() functions shall compute Bessel functions of x of the second kind
       of orders 0, 1, and n, respectively.

       An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno  to  zero  and  call
       feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)  before  calling these functions. On return, if errno is non-
       zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is  non-zero,
       an error has occurred.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the relevant Bessel value of x of
       the second kind.

       If x is NaN, NaN shall be returned.

       If the x argument to these functions is negative, −HUGE_VAL or NaN shall be returned,  and
       a domain error may occur.

       If x is 0.0, −HUGE_VAL shall be returned and a pole error may occur.

       If  the  correct result would cause underflow, 0.0 shall be returned and a range error may
       occur.

       If the correct result would cause overflow, −HUGE_VAL or 0.0 shall be returned and a range
       error may occur.

ERRORS

       These functions may fail if:

       Domain Error
                   The value of x is negative.

                   If  the  integer  expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then
                   errno shall be set to [EDOM].  If the integer expression  (math_errhandling  &
                   MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is  non-zero, then the invalid floating-point exception shall
                   be raised.

       Pole Error  The value of x is zero.

                   If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO)  is  non-zero,  then
                   errno shall be set to [ERANGE].  If the integer expression (math_errhandling &
                   MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the divide-by-zero floating-point  exception
                   shall be raised.

       Range Error The correct result would cause overflow.

                   If  the  integer  expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then
                   errno shall be set to [ERANGE].  If the integer expression (math_errhandling &
                   MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is non-zero, then the overflow floating-point exception shall
                   be raised.

       Range Error The value of x is too large in magnitude, or the correct  result  would  cause
                   underflow.

                   If  the  integer  expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then
                   errno shall be set to [ERANGE].  If the integer expression (math_errhandling &
                   MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the underflow floating-point exception shall
                   be raised.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       On  error,  the  expressions  (math_errhandling  &  MATH_ERRNO)  and  (math_errhandling  &
       MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
