1  Purpose

nag_bessel_i0_scaled_vector (s18csc) returns an array of values of the scaled modified Bessel function e-xI0x.

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nags.h>
void  nag_bessel_i0_scaled_vector (Integer n, const double x[], double f[], NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_bessel_i0_scaled_vector (s18csc) evaluates an approximation to e-xiI0xi, where I0 is a modified Bessel function of the first kind for an array of arguments xi, for i=1,2,,n. The scaling factor e-x removes most of the variation in I0x.
The function uses the same Chebyshev expansions as nag_bessel_i0_vector (s18asc), which returns an array of the unscaled values of I0x.

5  Arguments

1:     nIntegerInput
On entry: n, the number of points.
Constraint: n0.
2:     x[n]const doubleInput
On entry: the argument xi of the function, for i=1,2,,n.
3:     f[n]doubleOutput
On exit: e-xiI0xi, the function values.
4:     failNagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_BAD_PARAM
On entry, argument value had an illegal value.
NE_INT
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n0.
NE_INTERNAL_ERROR
An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.

7  Accuracy

Relative errors in the argument are attenuated when propagated into the function value. When the accuracy of the argument is essentially limited by the machine precision, the accuracy of the function value will be similarly limited by at most a small multiple of the machine precision.

8  Parallelism and Performance

Not applicable.

9  Further Comments

None.

10  Example

This example reads values of x from a file, evaluates the function at each value of xi and prints the results.
