scipy.special.i0¶
-
scipy.special.i0(x) = <ufunc 'i0'>¶ Modified Bessel function of order 0.
Defined as,
\[I_0(x) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{(x^2/4)^k}{(k!)^2} = J_0(\imath x),\]where \(J_0\) is the Bessel function of the first kind of order 0.
- Parameters
- xarray_like
Argument (float)
- Returns
- Indarray
Value of the modified Bessel function of order 0 at x.
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 [1] routine
