scipy.special.ive¶
- scipy.special.ive(v, z) = <ufunc 'ive'>¶
Exponentially scaled modified Bessel function of the first kind
Defined as:
ive(v, z) = iv(v, z) * exp(-abs(z.real))
Parameters: v : array_like of float
Order.
z : array_like of float or complex
Argument.
Returns: out : ndarray
Values of the exponentially scaled modified Bessel function.
Notes
For positive v, the AMOS [R449] zbesi routine is called. It uses a power series for small z, the asymptitic expansion for large abs(z), the Miller algorithm normalized by the Wronskian and a Neumann series for intermediate magnitudes, and the uniform asymptitic expansions for Iv(z) and Jv(z) for large orders. Backward recurrence is used to generate sequences or reduce orders when necessary.
The calculations above are done in the right half plane and continued into the left half plane by the formula,
Iv(zexp(±ıπ))=exp(±πv)Iv(z)(valid when the real part of z is positive). For negative v, the formula
I−v(z)=Iv(z)+2πsin(πv)Kv(z)is used, where Kv(z) is the modified Bessel function of the second kind, evaluated using the AMOS routine zbesk.
