[section:hankel Hankel Functions]
[section:cyl_hankel Cyclic Hankel Functions]
[h4 Synopsis]
template <class T1, class T2>
std::complex<``__sf_result``> cyl_hankel_1(T1 v, T2 x);
template <class T1, class T2, class ``__Policy``>
std::complex<``__sf_result``> cyl_hankel_1(T1 v, T2 x, const ``__Policy``&);
template <class T1, class T2>
std::complex<``__sf_result``> cyl_hankel_2(T1 v, T2 x);
template <class T1, class T2, class ``__Policy``>
std::complex<``__sf_result``> cyl_hankel_2(T1 v, T2 x, const ``__Policy``&);
[h4 Description]
The functions __cyl_hankel_1 and __cyl_hankel_2 return the result of the
[@http://dlmf.nist.gov/10.2#P3 Hankel functions] of the first and second kind respectively:
[expression ['cyl_hankel_1(v, x) = H[sub v][super (1)](x) = J[sub v](x) + i Y[sub v](x)]]
[expression ['cyl_hankel_2(v, x) = H[sub v][super (2)](x) = J[sub v](x) - i Y[sub v](x)]]
where:
['J[sub v](x)] is the Bessel function of the first kind, and ['Y[sub v](x)] is the Bessel function of the second kind.
The return type of these functions is computed using the __arg_promotion_rules
when T1 and T2 are different types. The functions are also optimised for the
relatively common case that T1 is an integer.
[optional_policy]
Note that while the arguments to these functions are real values, the results are complex.
That means that the functions can only be instantiated on types `float`, `double` and `long double`.
The functions have also been extended to operate over the whole range of ['v] and ['x]
(unlike __cyl_bessel_j and __cyl_neumann).
[h4 Performance]
These functions are generally more efficient than two separate calls to the underlying Bessel
functions as internally Bessel J and Y can be computed simultaneously.
[h4 Testing]
There are just a few spot tests to exercise all the special case handling - the bulk of the testing is done
on the Bessel functions upon which these are based.
[h4 Accuracy]
Refer to __cyl_bessel_j and __cyl_neumann.
[h4 Implementation]
For ['x < 0] the following reflection formulae are used:
[@http://functions.wolfram.com/Bessel-TypeFunctions/BesselJ/16/01/01/ [equation hankel1]]
[@http://functions.wolfram.com/Bessel-TypeFunctions/BesselY/16/01/01/ [equation hankel2]]
[@http://functions.wolfram.com/Bessel-TypeFunctions/BesselY/16/01/01/ [equation hankel3]]
Otherwise the implementation is trivially in terms of the Bessel J and Y functions.
Note however, that the Hankel functions compute the Bessel J and Y functions simultaneously,
and therefore a single Hankel function call is more efficient than two Bessel function calls.
The one exception is when ['v] is a small positive integer, in which case the usual Bessel function
routines for integer order are used.
