1-3) Computes the spherical Bessel function of the first kind of n and x . The library provides overloads of std::sph_bessel for all cv-unqualified floating-point types as the type of the parameter x . (since C++23)
A) Additional overloads are provided for all integer types, which are treated as 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) = (π/2x) 1/2 J n+1/2 (x) where J n (x) is std:: cyl_bessel_j ( n, x ) and x≥0 .

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 .

The additional overloads are not required to be provided exactly as (A) . They only need to be sufficient to ensure that for their argument num of integer type, std :: sph_bessel ( int_num, num ) has the same effect as std :: sph_bessel ( int_num, static_cast < double > ( num ) ) .

Example

#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)/x² - cos(x)/x = "
              << std::sin(x) / (x * x) - std::cos(x) / x << '\n';
}

Output:

j_1(1.2345) = 0.352106
sin(x)/x² - cos(x)/x = 0.352106
