ARGUMENTS:
   INPUTS:
      x = MATRIX, any numerical type.
   RETURN:  MATRIX, sin(x)/x, DOUBLE.

Description

Compute 'sinc' function, sin(x)/x of matrix. Returns the element-wise 'sinc' function, sin(x)/x for matrix x. Input is coerced to double before processing.

Example

For Sclar Input:

O>sinc(0)
    1.0000 

 For Vectors: (See plot below)

O>x = seq(100)-50
O>y = sinc(x)
O>ginit
O>gplot(x,y)
O>gtitle("sinc(x)")

 For Matrices:

O>X = {[-1,0,1],[1,PI,2*PI]}
O>sinc(X)
{
[     0.8415 ,     1.0000 ,     0.8415 ]
[     0.8415 ,     0.0000 ,    -0.0000 ]
