scipy.special.i0

scipy.special.i0(x) = <ufunc 'i0'>

Modified Bessel function of order 0.

Defined as,

I0(x)=k=0(x2/4)k(k!)2=J0(ıx),

where J0 is the Bessel function of the first kind of order 0.

Parameters:

x : array_like

Argument (float)

Returns:

I : ndarray

Value of the modified Bessel function of order 0 at x.

iv, i0e

Notes

The range is partitioned into the two intervals [0, 8] and (8, infinity). Chebyshev polynomial expansions are employed in each interval.

This function is a wrapper for the Cephes [R379] routine i0.
