NAME

       y0, y1, yn - Bessel functions of the second kind

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       double y0(double x);
       double y1(double x);
       double yn(int n, double x);

DESCRIPTION

       The  y0(), y1(), and yn() functions shall compute Bessel functions of x
       of the second kind of orders 0, 1, and n, respectively.

       An application wishing to check for error situations should  set  errno
       to  zero  and  call  feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)  before calling these
       functions.  On return, if errno is non-zero or  fetestexcept(FE_INVALID
       |  FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has
       occurred.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return  the  relevant
       Bessel value of x of the second kind.

       If x is NaN, NaN shall be returned.

       If  the  x  argument  to  these functions is negative, -HUGE_VAL or NaN
       shall be returned, and a domain error may occur.

       If x is 0.0, -HUGE_VAL shall be returned and a range error may occur.

       If the correct result would cause underflow, 0.0 shall be returned  and
       a range error may occur.

       If  the  correct result would cause overflow, -HUGE_VAL or 0.0 shall be
       returned and a range error may occur.

ERRORS

       These functions may fail if:

       Domain Error
              The value of x is negative.

       If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is  non-zero,
       then   errno  shall  be  set  to  [EDOM].  If  the  integer  expression
       (math_errhandling &  MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is  non-zero,  then  the  invalid
       floating-point exception shall be raised.

       Range Error
              The  value  of  x  is  0.0,  or  the  correct result would cause
              overflow.

       If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is  non-zero,
       then  errno  shall  be  set  to  [ERANGE].  If  the  integer expression
       (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is  non-zero,  then  the  overflow
       floating-point exception shall be raised.

       Range Error
              The  value of x is too large in magnitude, or the correct result
              would cause underflow.

       If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is  non-zero,
       then  errno  shall  be  set  to  [ERANGE].  If  the  integer expression
       (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is  non-zero,  then  the  underflow
       floating-point exception shall be raised.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       On   error,   the   expressions  (math_errhandling  &  MATH_ERRNO)  and
       (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other,  but
       at least one of them must be non-zero.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
