All Implemented Interfaces:

UnivariateFunction
```
public class BesselJ
extends Object
implements UnivariateFunction
```
This class provides computation methods related to Bessel functions of the first kind. Detailed descriptions of these functions are available in Wikipedia, Abrabowitz and Stegun (Ch. 9-11), and DLMF (Ch. 10).
This implementation is based on the rjbesl Fortran routine at Netlib.

From the Fortran code:

This program is based on a program written by David J. Sookne (2) that computes values of the Bessel functions J or I of real argument and integer order. Modifications include the restriction of the computation to the J Bessel function of non-negative real argument, the extension of the computation to arbitrary positive order, and the elimination of most underflow.

```
public double value(double x)
             throws MathIllegalArgumentException,
                    ConvergenceException
```
    Returns the value of the constructed Bessel function of the first kind, for the passed argument.
    
    Specified by:
    
    value in interface UnivariateFunction
    
    Parameters:
    x - Argument
    
    Returns:
    Value of the Bessel function at x
    
    Throws:
    
    MathIllegalArgumentException - if x is too large relative to order
    
    ConvergenceException - if the algorithm fails to converge

public static double value(double order,
           double x)
                    throws MathIllegalArgumentException,
                           ConvergenceException
```
    Returns the first Bessel function, \(J_{order}(x)\).
    
    Parameters:
    order - Order of the Bessel function
    x - Argument
    
    Returns:
    Value of the Bessel function of the first kind, \(J_{order}(x)\)

  - rjBesl
```
public static BesselJ.BesselJResult rjBesl(double x,
                           double alpha,
                           int nb)
```
    Calculates Bessel functions \(J_{n+alpha}(x)\) for non-negative argument x, and non-negative order n + alpha.
    Before using the output vector, the user should check that nVals = nb, i.e., all orders have been calculated to the desired accuracy. See BesselResult class javadoc for details on return values.
    
    Parameters:
    x - non-negative real argument for which J's are to be calculated
    alpha - fractional part of order for which J's or exponentially scaled J's (\(J\cdot e^{x}\)) are to be calculated. 0 <= alpha < 1.0.
    nb - integer number of functions to be calculated, nb > 0. The first function calculated is of order alpha, and the last is of order nb - 1 + alpha.
    
    Returns:
    BesselJResult a vector of the functions \(J_{alpha}(x)\) through \(J_{nb-1+alpha}(x)\), or the corresponding exponentially scaled functions and an integer output variable indicating possible errors
