BesselI

BesselI[n, z]
gives the modified Bessel function of the first kind I_n(z).
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • I_n(z) satisfies the differential equation z^2​y^(′′)+z​y^′-(z^2+n^2)​y=0.
  • BesselI[n, z] has a branch cut discontinuity in the complex z plane running from -∞ to 0.
  • For certain special arguments, BesselI automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • BesselI can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
  • BesselI automatically threads over lists.
