Continued fraction calculation of spherical Bessel functions

Abstract: An efficient new method of calculating spherical Bessel functions of complex argument based on continued fractions is developed. The method does not depend on recurrence relations and it a~lows accurate calculations on computers with differing word lengths. The method ma~ be easily extended to other types of Bessel functions and to complex orders.

“…This infinite continued fraction representation Equation 22needs a large number of terms for convergence to a given accuracy. In [49], the authors propose the modified Lentz's method. It reverses the order of coefficients in CFE.…”

“…where in both cases x is the size parameter of the particle, a 2 vac p l , with a the particle radius and λ vac the wavelength of incoming light in a vacuum, and Here, j n (x) and y n (x) are spherical Bessel functions. The factor D n in Equations (A14) and (A15) is the logarithmic derivative computed using the continued fraction method developed by Lentz (1990). As the description of this method is lengthy and is fully documented in Prahl (2023) and Lentz (1990), we refer the reader to these publications for a full derivation.…”
