naginterfaces.library.specfun.kelvin_ber(x)[source]

kelvin_ber returns a value for the Kelvin function .

Parameters
xfloat

The argument of the function.

Returns
berfloat

The value of the function at .

Raises
NagValueError
(errno )

On entry, .

Constraint: .

is too large for an accurate result to be returned and the function returns zero.

Notes

kelvin_ber evaluates an approximation to the Kelvin function .

Note: , so the approximation need only consider .

The function is based on several Chebyshev expansions:

For ,

For ,

where , ,

and , , , and are expansions in the variable .

When is sufficiently close to zero, the result is set directly to .

For large , there is a danger of the result being totally inaccurate, as the error amplification factor grows in an essentially exponential manner;, therefore, the function must fail.
