Examples
--------
The modified spherical Bessel functions of the first kind :math:`i_n`
accept both real and complex second argument.
They can return a complex type:

>>> from scipy.special import spherical_in
>>> spherical_in(0, 3+5j)
(-1.1689867793369182-1.2697305267234222j)
>>> type(spherical_in(0, 3+5j))
<class 'numpy.complex128'>

We can verify the relation for the derivative from the Notes
for :math:`n=3` in the interval :math:`[1, 2]`:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> x = np.arange(1.0, 2.0, 0.01)
>>> np.allclose(spherical_in(3, x, True),
...             spherical_in(2, x) - 4/x * spherical_in(3, x))
True

The first few :math:`i_n` with real argument:

>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> x = np.arange(0.0, 6.0, 0.01)
>>> fig, ax = plt.subplots()
>>> ax.set_ylim(-0.5, 5.0)
>>> ax.set_title(r'Modified spherical Bessel functions $i_n$')
>>> for n in np.arange(0, 4):
...     ax.plot(x, spherical_in(n, x), label=rf'$i_{n}$')
>>> plt.legend(loc='best')
>>> plt.show()
