Bessel Functions and Numerical Recipes [message #23902] Mon, 26 February 2001 13:46 Go to next message

Anyone have a robust algorithm to compute ordinary
Bessel Functions of integer order, greater than order ~ 19
(where IDL 5.4 currently cuts off).

Another question:

Has anyone converted a substantial portion of
Numerical Recipes [e.g., Fortran], to IDL? Are there public libraries for
this sort of thing? Numerical Recipes algorithms seem much more
stable/reliable than those in IDL and I have the complete Fortran code for
most Numerical Recipes but find it tedious to manually convert between
languages each time I want a program.

Thanks!

-Brian

Thanks,

You might try the website below; I have had some success in free translation
from the fortran original to idl, for a couple of the routines (but not
yours), without need to restructure the code.

I don't think it exists yet. Mati Meron wrote what looks to be a good routine
for K-Bessel functions of arbitrary order, but not a BeselJ replacement.
