scipy.special.jnp_zeros

scipy.special.jnp_zeros(n, nt)

Compute zeros of integer-order Bessel function derivatives Jn’.

Compute nt zeros of the functions \(J_n'(x)\) on the interval \((0, \infty)\). The zeros are returned in ascending order. Note that this interval excludes the zero at \(x = 0\) that exists for \(n > 1\).

Parameters

nint

Order of Bessel function

ntint

Number of zeros to return

Returns

ndarray

First n zeros of the Bessel function.

Examples

>>> import scipy.special as sc

We can check that we are getting approximations of the zeros by evaluating them with jvp.

>>> n = 2
>>> x = sc.jnp_zeros(n, 3)
>>> x
array([3.05423693, 6.70613319, 9.96946782])
>>> sc.jvp(n, x)
array([ 2.77555756e-17,  2.08166817e-16, -3.01841885e-16])

Note that the zero at x = 0 for n > 1 is not included.

>>> sc.jvp(n, 0)
0.0
