Recurrence Relations

Why Bessel function recurrence relations become numerically unstable

A technical blog post explains why three-term recurrence relations used to compute Bessel functions can fail depending on direction and function type. Forward recurrence works for second-kind Bessel functions but not first-kind, while reverse recurrence works for first-kind but not second-kind functions.
