# scipy.special.jnyn_zeros

scipy.special.jnyn_zeros(n, nt)

  Compute nt zeros of Bessel functions Jn(x), Jn’(x), Yn(x), and Yn’(x).

  Returns 4 arrays of length nt, corresponding to the first nt zeros of Jn(x), Jn’(x), Yn(x), and Yn’(x), respectively. The zeros are returned in ascending order.

  Parameters:
    n int

      Order of the Bessel functions

    nt int

      Number (<=1200) of zeros to compute

  Returns:
    Jn ndarray

      First nt zeros of Jn

    Jnp ndarray

      First nt zeros of Jn’

    Yn ndarray

      First nt zeros of Yn

    Ynp ndarray

      First nt zeros of Yn’

  Examples

  Compute the first three roots of \(J_1\), \(J_1'\), \(Y_1\) and \(Y_1'\).

      >>> from scipy.special import jnyn_zeros
      >>> jn_roots, jnp_roots, yn_roots, ynp_roots = jnyn_zeros(1, 3)
      >>> jn_roots, yn_roots
      (array([ 3.83170597,  7.01558667, 10.17346814]),
       array([2.19714133, 5.42968104, 8.59600587]))

  Plot \(J_1\), \(J_1'\), \(Y_1\), \(Y_1'\) and their roots.

      >>> ax.plot(x, jvp(1, x, 1), label=r"$J_1'$", c='b')
      >>> ax.plot(x, yn(1, x), label=r"$Y_1$", c='y')
      >>> ax.plot(x, yvp(1, x, 1), label=r"$Y_1'$", c='c')
      >>> zeros = np.zeros((3, ))
      >>> ax.scatter(jn_roots, zeros, s=30, c='r', zorder=5,
