Usage INTEGER N

REAL X

COMPLEX C

C=FNS_hh1n(N,X)

Description

FNS_hh1n returns the value of the spherical Hankel function of the first kind and order n+½ of x, hn+½(1)(x). Hn+½(1)(x) is defined for all values of n and for all positive values of x.

Hn+½(1)(x) is sometimes also called the spherical Bessel function of the third kind, order n+½.

Errors

FNS_hh1n causes an HTBasic error if its arguments are not of the types shown in the USAGE section, above, or if x is negative or zero.

Note

The algorithm used computes the value of hn+½(1) using a recursion from the values of h½(1) and h1½(1). The computation time increases with n and the computation accuracy decreases with n.
