/*							jn.c
 *
 *	Bessel function of integer order
 *
 *
 *
 * SYNOPSIS:
 *
 * int n;
 * double x, y, jn();
 *
 * y = jn( n, x );
 *
 *
 *
 * DESCRIPTION:
 *
 * Returns Bessel function of order n, where n is a
 * (possibly negative) integer.
 *
 * The ratio of jn(x) to j0(x) is computed by backward
 * recurrence.  First the ratio jn/jn-1 is found by a
 * continued fraction expansion.  Then the recurrence
 * relating successive orders is applied until j0 or j1 is
 * reached.
 *
 * If n = 0 or 1 the routine for j0 or j1 is called
 * directly.
 *
 *
 *
 * ACCURACY:
 *
 *                      Absolute error:
 * arithmetic   range      # trials      peak         rms
 *    DEC       0, 30        5500       6.9e-17     9.3e-18
 *    IEEE      0, 30        5000       4.4e-16     7.9e-17
 *
 *
 * Not suitable for large n or x. Use jv() instead.
