kelvin (version 2.0-0)

Beir: Fundamental solution to the Kelvin differential equation (J)

Description

This function calculates the complex solution to the Kelvin differential equation using modified Bessel functions of the first kind, specifically those produced by BesselJ.

Usage

Beir(x, ...)
# S3 method for default
Beir(x, nu. = 0, nSeq. = 1, return.list = FALSE, ...)
Bei(...)
Ber(...)

Arguments

x

numeric; values to evaluate the complex solution at

...

additional arguments passed to BesselK or Beir

nu.

numeric; value of \(\nu\) in \(\mathcal{B}_\nu\) solutions

nSeq.

positive integer; equivalent to nSeq in BesselJ

return.list

logical; Should the result be a list instead of matrix?

Value

If return.list==FALSE (the default), a complex matrix with as many columns as using nSeq. creates. Otherwise the result is a list with matrices for Real and Imaginary components.

Details

Ber and Bei are wrapper functions which return the real and imaginary components of Beir, respectively.
