Expand description

(Y_{N-1}, Y_N) by upward recurrence from the two closed forms.

Y_{n+1}(x) = \frac{2n}{x} Y_n(x) - Y_{n-1}(x)

$Y_\nu$ is the dominant solution of Bessel’s equation, so upward is stable and costs exactly N - 1 steps, with no trip count, x dependence or precision tier. Same argument and same shape as bessel_kn_recur. The only difference is the sign, since this is the unmodified equation.

Measured against mpmath over orders 2..50 and x in 0.1..300: worst 2.8e-14 relative. Looser than K’s 1.4e-15 because this recurrence subtracts where K’s adds, so it does accumulate a little cancellation, but Y_n grows with n, which keeps it bounded.
