Description
Returns the Bessel function.
Syntax
BESSELJ(X, N)
The BESSELJ function syntax has the following arguments:
-
X Required. The value at which to evaluate the function.
-
N Required. The order of the Bessel function. If n is not an integer, it is truncated.
Remarks
-
If x is nonnumeric, BESSELJ returns the #VALUE! error value.
-
If n is nonnumeric, BESSELJ returns the #VALUE! error value.
-
If n < 0, BESSELJ returns the #NUM! error value.
-
The n-th order Bessel function of the variable x is:
where:
is the Gamma function.
