yn_zeros#
- scipy.special.yn_zeros(n, nt)[source]#
- Compute zeros of integer-order Bessel function Yn(x). - Compute nt zeros of the functions \(Y_n(x)\) on the interval \((0, \infty)\). The zeros are returned in ascending order. - Parameters:
- nint
- Order of Bessel function 
- ntint
- Number of zeros to return 
 
- Returns:
- ndarray
- First nt zeros of the Bessel function.
