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.
