Notes

bessel_zeros attempts to find the leading zeros of one of the Bessel functions , , or , where is real. When is real, these functions each have an infinite number of real zeros, all of which are simple with the possible exception of . If , the th positive zero is denoted by and , respectively, for , except that is counted as the first zero of when . Since , it, therefore, follows that and for . Further details can be found in Section 9.5 of Abramowitz and Stegun (1972).

bessel_zeros is based on Algol 60 procedures given by Temme (1979). Initial approximations to the zeros are computed from asymptotic expansions. These are then improved by higher-order Newton iteration making use of the differential equation for the Bessel functions.
