Hi, 

 

I wish to be able to calculate the roots of the function f(p) by using the roots of the function h(p) and applying the bisection method due to the fact that the roots of h(p) bracket the roots of f(p) as can be seen in the graph below. I have done this before for another example when h:=J0(p); and hence i could use The commands BesselJZeros(0,n)/BesselJZzeros(0,n+1) to find the roots. So my problem arises with the finding the roots of h(p) and how to insert them into my bisection loop(underlined below).

Any advice would amazing. Many thanks
