BESSELK(x,n)

• Where Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x} is the value at which to evaluate the function.
• Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle n} is the integer which is the order of the Bessel Function.
  • Returns the modified Bessel Function Kn(x).

Description

• This function gives the value of the modified Bessel function when the arguments are purely imaginary.
• Bessel functions is also called cylinder functions because they appear in the solution to Laplace's equation in cylindrical coordinates.
• Bessel's Differential Equation is defined as:

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x^2 \frac{d^2 y}{dx^2} + x\frac{dy}{dx} + (x^2 - \alpha^2)y =0} where Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \alpha} is the arbitrary Complex number.

• But in most of the cases α is the non-negative real number.
• The solutions of this equation are called Bessel Functions of order Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle n} .
• Bessel functions of the first kind, denoted as Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle J_n(x)} .
• The Bessel function of the first kind of order can be expressed as:

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle J_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^k*(\frac{x}{2})^{n+2k} }{k!\Gamma(n+k+1)}}

• The Bessel function of the second kind Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Y_n(x)} .
• The Bessel function of the 2nd kind of order can be expressed as: Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Y_n(x)= \lim_{p \to n}\frac{J_p(x)Cos(p\pi)- J_{-p}(x)}{Sin(p\pi)}}
• So the form of the general solution is Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle y(x)=c1 I_n(x)+c2 K_n(x)} .

where: $I_{n}(x)=i^{-n}J_{n}(ix)$ and

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle K_n(x)=\lim_{p \to n}\frac{\pi}{2}\left[ \frac{I_{-p}(x)-I_p(x)}{Sin(p\pi)}\right]}

are the modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind respectively.

• This function will give the result as error when:

1. Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x}
 or Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle n}
 is non numeric 
2. Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle n<0}
, because Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle n}
 is the order of the function.
