1 Purpose

s18crf returns an array of values of the scaled modified Bessel function exK1(x).

2 Specification

Fortran Interface
Subroutine s18crf ( n, x, f, ivalid, ifail)
Integer, Intent (In) :: n
Integer, Intent (Inout) :: ifail
Integer, Intent (Out) :: ivalid(n)
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In) :: x(n)
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (Out) :: f(n)
C Header Interface
#include <nag.h>
void  s18crf_ (const Integer *n, const double x[], double f[], Integer ivalid[], Integer *ifail)
The routine may be called by the names s18crf or nagf_specfun_bessel_k1_scaled_vector.

3 Description

s18crf evaluates an approximation to exiK1(xi), where K1 is a modified Bessel function of the second kind for an array of arguments xi, for i=1,2,,n. The scaling factor ex removes most of the variation in K1(x).
The routine uses the same Chebyshev expansions as s18arf, which returns an array of the unscaled values of K1(x).

5 Arguments

1: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the number of points.
Constraint: n0.
2: x(n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
On entry: the argument xi of the function, for i=1,2,,n.
Constraint: x(i)>0.0, for i=1,2,,n.
3: f(n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: exiK1(xi), the function values.
4: ivalid(n) Integer array Output
On exit: ivalid(i) contains the error code for xi, for i=1,2,,n.
ivalid(i)=0
No error.
ivalid(i)=1
On entry, xi0.0, K1(xi) is undefined. f(i) contains 0.0.
ivalid(i)=2
xi is too close to zero, as determined by the value of the safe-range parameter x02amf: there is a danger of causing overflow. f(i) contains the reciprocal of the safe-range parameter.
5: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, −1 or 1 to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of 0 causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of −1 means that an error message is printed while a value of 1 means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value −1 or 1 is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, the value 0 is recommended. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or −1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
ifail=1
On entry, at least one value of x was invalid.
Check ivalid for more information.
ifail=2
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n0.
ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.

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

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
s18crf is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

None.
