Description

The Excel BESSELK function returns the modified Bessel function, which is equivalent to the Bessel functions evaluated for purely imaginary arguments.

Syntax and arguments

Formula syntax

BESSELK(x, n)

Arguments

  • X: Required, the value at which the function is to be evaluated.
  • N: Required, the order of the Bessel function. Normally, it is an integer, if it is a decimal, it will be truncated.

Return Value

The BESSELK function returns a numeric value.

Remark

The n-th order modified Bessel function of the variable x is:

Where Jn and Yn are the J and Y Bessel functions respectively.

Error

1. If any arguments of BESSELK function are nonnumeric values, #VALUE! value will be returned.

2. If argument n is less than zero, #NUM! value will be returned.

Version

Excel 2003 and later

Usage and Examples

Example

To calculate the modified Bessel function at 5 with an order of 2, please use the formula:

=BESSELK(B4,C4)

Or directly type the values in the function

=BESSELK(5,2)

Press Enter key to get the result.
