# scipy.special.jn_zeros¶

scipy.special.jn_zeros(n, nt)[source]

Compute zeros of integer-order Bessel functions Jn.

Compute nt zeros of the Bessel 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 $$n > 0$$.

Parameters
nint

Order of Bessel function

ntint

Number of zeros to return

Returns
ndarray

First n zeros of the Bessel function.

jv

Examples

>>> import scipy.special as sc


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

>>> n = 1
>>> x = sc.jn_zeros(n, 3)
>>> x
array([ 3.83170597,  7.01558667, 10.17346814])
>>> sc.jv(n, x)
array([-0.00000000e+00,  1.72975330e-16,  2.89157291e-16])


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

>>> sc.jv(1, 0)
0.0
