C***DESCRIPTION
C
C On KODE=1, CBESH computes an N member sequence of complex
C Hankel (Bessel) functions CY(L)=H(M,FNU+L-1,Z) for super-
C script M=1 or 2, real nonnegative orders FNU+L-1, L=1,...,
C N, and complex nonzero Z in the cut plane -pi=0
C KODE - A parameter to indicate the scaling option
C KODE=1 returns
C CY(L)=H(M,FNU+L-1,Z), L=1,...,N
C =2 returns
C CY(L)=H(M,FNU+L-1,Z)*exp(-(3-2M)*Z*i),
C L=1,...,N
C M - Superscript of Hankel function, M=1 or 2
C N - Number of terms in the sequence, N>=1
C
C Output
C CY - Result vector of type COMPLEX
C NZ - Number of underflows set to zero
C NZ=0 Normal return
C NZ>0 CY(L)=0 for NZ values of L (if M=1 and
C Im(Z)>0 or if M=2 and Im(Z)<0, then
C CY(L)=0 for L=1,...,NZ; in the com-
C plementary half planes, the underflows
C may not be in an uninterrupted sequence)
C IERR - Error flag
C IERR=0 Normal return - COMPUTATION COMPLETED
C IERR=1 Input error - NO COMPUTATION
C IERR=2 Overflow - NO COMPUTATION
C (abs(Z) too small and/or FNU+N-1
C too large)
C IERR=3 Precision warning - COMPUTATION COMPLETED
C (Result has half precision or less
C because abs(Z) or FNU+N-1 is large)
C IERR=4 Precision error - NO COMPUTATION
C (Result has no precision because
C abs(Z) or FNU+N-1 is too large)
C IERR=5 Algorithmic error - NO COMPUTATION
C (Termination condition not met)
C
C *Long Description:
C
C The computation is carried out by the formula
C
C H(m,a,z) = (1/t)*exp(-a*t)*K(a,z*exp(-t))
C t = (3-2*m)*i*pi/2
C
C where the K Bessel function is computed as described in the
C prologue to CBESK.
C
C Exponential decay of H(m,a,z) occurs in the upper half z
C plane for m=1 and the lower half z plane for m=2. Exponential
C growth occurs in the complementary half planes. Scaling
C by exp(-(3-2*m)*z*i) removes the exponential behavior in the
C whole z plane as z goes to infinity.
C
C For negative orders, the formula
C
C H(m,-a,z) = H(m,a,z)*exp((3-2*m)*a*pi*i)
C
C can be used.
C
C In most complex variable computation, one must evaluate ele-
C mentary functions. When the magnitude of Z or FNU+N-1 is
C large, losses of significance by argument reduction occur.
C Consequently, if either one exceeds U1=SQRT(0.5/UR), then
C losses exceeding half precision are likely and an error flag
C IERR=3 is triggered where UR=R1MACH(4)=UNIT ROUNDOFF. Also,
C if either is larger than U2=0.5/UR, then all significance is
C lost and IERR=4. In order to use the INT function, arguments
C must be further restricted not to exceed the largest machine
C integer, U3=I1MACH(9). Thus, the magnitude of Z and FNU+N-1
C is restricted by MIN(U2,U3). In IEEE arithmetic, U1,U2, and
C U3 approximate 2.0E+3, 4.2E+6, 2.1E+9 in single precision
C and 4.7E+7, 2.3E+15 and 2.1E+9 in double precision. This
C makes U2 limiting in single precision and U3 limiting in
C double precision. This means that one can expect to retain,
C in the worst cases on IEEE machines, no digits in single pre-
C cision and only 6 digits in double precision. Similar con-
C siderations hold for other machines.
C
C The approximate relative error in the magnitude of a complex
C Bessel function can be expressed as P*10**S where P=MAX(UNIT
C ROUNDOFF,1.0E-18) is the nominal precision and 10**S repre-
C sents the increase in error due to argument reduction in the
C elementary functions. Here, S=MAX(1,ABS(LOG10(ABS(Z))),
C ABS(LOG10(FNU))) approximately (i.e., S=MAX(1,ABS(EXPONENT OF
C ABS(Z),ABS(EXPONENT OF FNU)) ). However, the phase angle may
C have only absolute accuracy. This is most likely to occur
C when one component (in magnitude) is larger than the other by
C several orders of magnitude. If one component is 10**K larger
C than the other, then one can expect only MAX(ABS(LOG10(P))-K,
C 0) significant digits; or, stated another way, when K exceeds
C the exponent of P, no significant digits remain in the smaller
C component. However, the phase angle retains absolute accuracy
C because, in complex arithmetic with precision P, the smaller
C component will not (as a rule) decrease below P times the
C magnitude of the larger component. In these extreme cases,
C the principal phase angle is on the order of +P, -P, PI/2-P,
C or -PI/2+P.
