double sph_bessel ( unsigned n, double x ); double sph_bessel ( unsigned n, float x ); double sph_bessel ( unsigned n, long double x ); float sph_besself( unsigned n, float x ); long double sph_bessell( unsigned n, long double x );	(1)	(since C++17)
double sph_bessel( unsigned n, IntegralType x );	(2)	(since C++17)

1) Computes the spherical Bessel function of the first kind of n and x.

2) A set of overloads or a function template accepting an argument of any integral type. Equivalent to (1) after casting the argument to double.

Parameters

n	-	the order of the function
x	-	the argument of the function

Return value

If no errors occur, returns the value of the spherical Bessel function of the first kind of n and x, that is j
n(x) = (/2x)1/2
J
n+1/2(x) where J
n(x) is std::cyl_bessel_j(n,x) and x0

Error handling

Errors may be reported as specified in math_errhandling

• If the argument is NaN, NaN is returned and domain error is not reported
• If n>=128, the behavior is implementation-defined

Notes

Implementations that do not support C++17, but support ISO 29124:2010, provide this function if __STDCPP_MATH_SPEC_FUNCS__ is defined by the implementation to a value at least 201003L and if the user defines __STDCPP_WANT_MATH_SPEC_FUNCS__ before including any standard library headers.

Implementations that do not support ISO 29124:2010 but support TR 19768:2007 (TR1), provide this function in the header tr1/cmath and namespace std::tr1

An implementation of this function is also available in boost.math

Example

Run this code

#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    // spot check for n == 1
    double x = 1.2345;
    std::cout << "j_1(" << x << ") = " << std::sph_bessel(1, x) << '\n';

    // exact solution for j_1
    std::cout << "(sin x)/x^2 - (cos x)/x = " << std::sin(x)/(x*x) - std::cos(x)/x << '\n';
}

Output:

j_1(1.2345) = 0.352106
(sin x)/x^2 - (cos x)/x = 0.352106
