Algorithm xxx: Modified Bessel functions of imaginary order and positive argument
Abstract
Fortran 77 programs for the computation of modified Bessel functions of purely imaginary order are presented. The codes compute the functions $K_{ia}(x)$, $L_{ia}(x)$ and their derivatives for real $a$ and positive $x$; these functions are independent solutions of the differential equation $x^2 w'' +x w' +(a^2 -x^2)w=0$. The code also computes exponentially scaled functions. The range of computation is $(x,a)\in (0,1500]\times [-1500,1500]$ when scaled functions are considered and it is larger than $(0,500]\times [-400,400]$ for standard IEEE double precision arithmetic. The relative accuracy is better than $10^{-13}$ in the range $(0,200]\times [-200,200]$ and close to $10^{-12}$ in $(0,1500]\times [-1500,1500]$.
