BesselY Method (n, x)

Computes the irregular Bessel function for integer orders.

Declaration Syntax

Visual Basic

Visual C++

public static double BesselY(
	int n,
	double x
)

Public Shared Function BesselY ( _
	n As Integer, _
	x As Double _
) As Double

public:
static double BesselY(
	int n, 
	double x
)

static member BesselY : 
        n:int * 
        x:float -> float

Parameters

n (Int32): The order parameter.

x (Double): The argument.

Return Value

The value of Y_n(x).

Remarks

The Bessel functions of integral order occur in solutions to the wave equations with cylindrical symmetry. The irregular Bessel functions diverge at the origin, and thus occur in situations where the region in which the wave equation is satisfied not not include the origin.
