scipy.special.j0

scipy.special.j0(x) = <ufunc 'j0'>

Bessel function of the first kind of order 0.

Parameters:

x : array_like

Argument (float).

Returns:

J : ndarray

Value of the Bessel function of the first kind of order 0 at x.

See also

jv
Bessel function of real order and complex argument.

Notes

The domain is divided into the intervals [0, 5] and (5, infinity). In the first interval the following rational approximation is used:

J0(x)(wr21)(wr22)P3(w)Q8(w),

where w=x2 and r1, r2 are the zeros of J0, and P3 and Q8 are polynomials of degrees 3 and 8, respectively.

In the second interval, the Hankel asymptotic expansion is employed with two rational functions of degree 6/6 and 7/7.

This function is a wrapper for the Cephes [R392] routine j0.
