Questions tagged [bessel-functions]

Questions related to Bessel functions.

Questions and problems related to cylindrical harmonics or Bessel functions, normally taken to satisfy the differential equation $$ x^2 y'' + x y' + (x^2-\nu^2)y = 0, \tag{1} $$ (Bessel's equation) or its modification $$ x^2 y'' + x y' + (x^2+\nu^2)y = 0. \tag{2} $$ The solutions to (1) are called $J_{\nu}$ and $Y_{\nu}$; those to (2) are called $I_{\nu}$ and $K_{\nu}$. Special complex combinations of $J_{\nu}$ and $Y_{\nu}$ are also called Hankel functions, $$ H_{\nu}^{(1)} = J_{\nu} + i Y_{\nu}, \qquad H_{\nu}^{(2)} = J_{\nu} - i Y_{\nu}. $$

Bessel function relation

I need to show that $$ \sin(ar\sin\zeta)\cos\zeta+ \sin(ar\cos\zeta)\sin\zeta=\sum_{m=0}^{+\infty}\cfrac{8(2m+1)}{ar}J_{2(2m+1)}(ar)\sin[2(2m+1)\zeta] $$ I think I have to use the…

Rewrite integral in terms of Bessel functions

Trying to rewrite this integral: $$\int dq \frac{q^2}{2\pi^2} \frac{\sin(\sqrt{q^2+m^2}t)}{\sqrt{q^2+m^2}} \frac{\sin (qr)}{qr}$$ In terms of the Bessel function of the first kind, $J_0$ but have no idea how to since I'm not used to Bessel…

Integral expression for the modified Bessel function of second kind $K_\nu(x)$ for $\nu=1$.

For a real variable $x$, and $x>0$, integral expression for the modified Bessel function of second kind of order $\nu$ is $$K_\nu(x)=\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}e^{-x\cosh t}\cosh(\nu t)dt.$$ Let us consider the case $\nu=1$ such that…

Upper and lower bounding the modified Bessel function of the first kind and zeroth order

Some moths ago I stumbled upon the following upper and lower bound on the modified Bessel function of the first kind and zeroth order: $\frac{e^{x}}{1 + 2x} < I_0(x) < \frac{e^{x}}{\sqrt{1 + 2x}}, x > 0$. Now I have trouble finding the reference, is…

Series of inverse zeros of bessel functions

I am interested in the numerical values for the series $\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{j_{0,n}^4}$ and $\displaystyle\sum_{l=1}^\infty\sum_{m=1}^\infty\frac{1}{j_{l,m}^4}$. where $j_{k,m}$ is the $m-th$ positive zero of the Bessel function…

expansion of exponential in terms of bessel function?

I saw somewhere contains below formula. $${e^{ikr\cos \left( \theta \right)}} = \sum\limits_n {{i^n}{J_n}\left( {kr} \right){e^{ - in\theta }}} $$ I don't know if it is right. Does anyone know how to prove it? Or point to some references on this…

Integral representation of modified Bessel function $K_\nu(x)$

My math physics textbook requires me to prove an equation which is same as the linked two equations: https://dlmf.nist.gov/10.32#E8 I can prove similar integral representation of $I_\nu(x)$ (10.32.2 in the same link) using beta function, but this…

Why $\nu>-1$ for Bessel function orthogonality

I'm physics student and not very good at proof. My mathematical physics textbook states the orthogonality of Bessel functions, http://mathworld.wolfram.com/BesselFunctionoftheFirstKind.html basically same as the equation (53) in the linked…

What is the difference between Bessel function of the first kind of order 0 and 1?

Referring to this functon: $ J_n(x)= \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{\substack{(-1)^k}} {\substack{k!\Gamma(k+n+1)}}(\frac{\substack{x}} {\substack{2}})^{2k+n} , n\geq0.$ When changing the $n$ subscript value (i.e. determining the order of Bessel…

About modified Bessel Function of first kind with order zero?

While reading about the Rician distribution, I stumbled upon "modified Bessel function of the zeroth order of the first kind", i.e. $I_o$. First thing, I did not know what Bessel function is, but I have learned it (Hurry to Wikipedia). Second,…

Obtain a first order DE for a Bessel function of order $n$

An exercise in my textbook is the following: Let $J_n (z)$ denote the Bessel function of order n. Set $$\theta(z,t)=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty}J_{n}(z)t^n$$ and assume that the series converges. Obtain a first order DE relating $\frac{\partial…

Derivative of Bessel Function of Second Kind, Zero Order

The derivative of Bessel function of first kind (zero order, $J'_0$) is $-J_1$. What is the derivative of Bessel function of second kind (zero order, $Y'_0$)? I could find $I'_0$ and $K'_0$, but not $Y'_0$. Thanks in advance!

Bessel function at large order

I'm trying to expand a modified Bessel function such that $$K_n \left(\sqrt{n} \left(a_0 + a_1 \frac{1}{n} + a_2 \frac{1}{n^2} + \ldots \right)\right) = A(n) \left( b_0 + b_1 \frac{1}{n} + b_2 \frac{1}{n^2} + \ldots \right) $$ in the large $n$ limit…

Can we sum $\sum _{m=0}^{\infty }t^{m}J_{m}\left( k\right)$ this series?

If it were to be $\sum _{m=-\infty}^{\infty }t^{m}J_{m}\left( k\right) $, it is known that it is equal to some power of exponentials. But for this case, i could only manage to write $$\sum _{m=1}^{\infty }t^{m}J_{m}\left( k\right)+\sum…
