Library: Complex Bessel and Hankel functions

A library to efficiently evaluate Bessel and Hankel functions of all kinds in C. This library includes full support for complex input and output parameters.

Introduction

This project provides a standard C interface for the library available here.

With the provided library interface you can compute

  1. Bessel functions of first and second kind of any order (also negative orders)
  2. Hankel functions of first and second kind of any order (also negative orders)
  3. Derivatives of any order of the functions described in 1. and 2.

Installation

  1. Clone this project to your machine
git clone https://github.com/DL6ER/complex_bessel.git
cd complex_bessel
  1. Install and use cmake
sudo apt-get install cmake
bash build.sh
  1. Install library (the library will be installed to /usr by default)
cd build
sudo make install
cd ..
  1. Run test program to verify the library is working correctly
gcc test.c -lcomplex_bessel -lm
./a.out

Implemented routines

Bessel functions of first and second kind

Bessel function of first kind

Bessel function of second kind

double complex bessel(double order, int kind, double complex z);
double complex besselJ(double order, double complex z);
double complex besselY(double order, double complex z);

These routines compute the Bessel functions for any given order. besselJ (first kind) and besselY (second kind) are provided as short handles for the more generic bessel function.

Hankel functions of first and second kind

Hankel functions of first and second kind

double complex hankel(double order, int kind, double complex z);
double complex hankelH1(double order, double complex z);
double complex hankelH2(double order, double complex z);

These routines compute the Hankel functions for any given order. hankelH1 (first kind) and hankelH2 (second kind) are provided as short handles for the more generic hankel function.

Derivative functions

double complex besselDiff(double order, int kind, int n, double complex z);
double complex besselJdiff(double order, int n, double complex z);
double complex besselYdiff(double order, int n, double complex z);
double complex hankelDiff(double order, int kind, int n, double complex z);
double complex hankelH1diff(double order, int n, double complex z);
double complex hankelH2diff(double order, int n, double complex z);

These routines compute the n-th derivative of the Bessel/Hankel functions for any given order. besselJdiff (Bessel, first kind), besselYdiff (Bessel, second kind), hankelH1diff (Hankel, first kind), and hankelH2diff (Hankel, second kind) are provided as short handles for the more generic besselDiff and hankelDiff functions.
