gp: besselj(nu,x) feature? |
pari-dev I think there is a mismatch between the help message and the output: ? besselj(1,x+O(x^3)) %1 = 1 - 1/8*x^2 + O(x^3) ? besselj(2,x+O(x^3)) %2 = 1 - 1/12*x^2 + O(x^3) ? ?besselj besselj(nu,x): J-bessel function of index nu and argument x. ? \v GP/PARI CALCULATOR Version 2.2.4 (development CHANGES-1.491) i686 running linux (ix86 kernel) 32-bit version (readline v4.2 enabled, extended help not available) The J_1(x) needs the x/2 factor and J_2(x) needs the x^2/8 factor. Perhaps this was not intended? Shalom, Michael
