besselIasym: Asymptotic Expansion of besselI(x,nu) For Large x

In Bessel: Computations and Approximations for Bessel Functions

Description

Compute Bessel function I[nu](x) and K[nu](x) for large x and small or moderate nu, using the asymptotic expansion (9.7.1), p.377 of Abramowitz & Stegun, for x -> Inf, even valid for complex x,

I_a(x) = exp(x) / sqrt(2*pi*x)* f(x, a),

where

f(x,a) = 1 - (mu-1) / (8x) + (mu-1)(mu-9) / (2! (8x)^2) - ...,

and mu = 4*a^2 and |arg(x)| < π/2.

Whereas besselIasym(x,a) computes I_a(x), besselI.ftrms returns the corresponding terms in the series expansion of f(x,a) above.

Usage

besselIasym  (x, nu, k.max = 10, expon.scaled = FALSE, log = FALSE)
besselI.ftrms(x, nu, K = 20)

Arguments

x	numeric, >= 0.
nu	numeric; The order (maybe fractional!) of the corresponding Bessel function.
k.max, K	integer number of terms in the expansion.

expon.scaled

logical; if TRUE, the results are exponentially scaled in order to avoid overflow.

log	logical; if TRUE, \log(f(.)) is returned instead of f.

Details

......... FIXME ...

Value

a numeric vector of the same length as x.

Examples

x <- c(1:10, 20, 50, 100^(2:10))
nu <- c(1, 10, 20, 50, 100)

r <- lapply(c(0:4,10,20), function(k.)
            sapply(nu, function(n.)
                  besselIasym(x, nu=n., k.max = k., log = TRUE)))
