yn

Bessel function of second kind of integer order.

SYNOPSIS:

double x, y, yn();
int n;
y = yn(n, x);

DESCRIPTION:

Returns a Bessel function of order n, where n is a (possibly negative) integer.
The function is evaluated by forward recurrence on n, starting with values computed by the routines y0() and y1().
If n = 0 or 1 the routine for y0 or y1 is called directly.
