BESSELJ function

BESSELJ function



This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the BESSELJ function in Microsoft Excel.



Description Returns the Bessel function.



Bessel functions, are canonical solutions y(x) of Bessel's differential equation:







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.
