scipy.special.yve

scipy.special.yve(v, z) = <ufunc 'yve'>

Exponentially scaled Bessel function of the second kind of real order.

Returns the exponentially scaled Bessel function of the second kind of real order v at complex z:

yve(v, z) = yv(v, z) * exp(-abs(z.imag))

Parameters:

v : array_like

Order (float).

z : array_like

Argument (float or complex).

Returns:

Y : ndarray

Value of the exponentially scaled Bessel function.

Notes

For positive v values, the computation is carried out using the AMOS [R544] zbesy routine, which exploits the connection to the Hankel Bessel functions \(H_v^{(1)}\) and \(H_v^{(2)}\),

\[Y_v(z) = \frac{1}{2\imath} (H_v^{(1)} - H_v^{(2)}).\]

For negative v values the formula,

\[Y_{-v}(z) = Y_v(z) \cos(\pi v) + J_v(z) \sin(\pi v)\]

is used, where \(J_v(z)\) is the Bessel function of the first kind, computed using the AMOS routine zbesj. Note that the second term is exactly zero for integer v; to improve accuracy the second term is explicitly omitted for v values such that v = floor(v).
