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 integration with exponential function

Could some one help me in evaluating this definite integral of Bbessel's function with an exponential function $$\int_0^1 e^{-ar^2}J_1(\lambda_n r )dr= ?$$ where $\lambda_n$ is any of the roots of $J_1$ and $a$ is a constant.

Hankel's expansion for the first Bessel function

I'm trying to make sense of Hankel's expansion for the first Bessel function $J_0$. According to NIST, it is 10.17(i) here. Using their notation, we have $\nu=0.$ Hence the linked formula becomes: Let $$a_k = \frac{(-1^k)1^2*3^2* . . .…

Bessel function why decide to ignore odd terms?

When solving the Bessel function: $$y''+\frac{1}{x}y'+(1-\frac{\nu^2}{x^2})y=0$$ With the series solution: $$y=x^\alpha \sum^\infty_{n=0} a_n x^n$$ You get the following…

On the Monotonicity of Bessel Functions

I am interested in the monotonicity properties of the Cylindrical Bessel Function (CBF) of the 1st kind with integer order $n$ and real argument $\beta$ or $J_n\{\beta\}$. What I'm hoping exists somewhere is a relatively simple algebraic expression…

Asymptotic limit of Hankel functions - 4 pi range

One solution to the bessel equation $$\left[x^2\partial_x^2 + x \partial_x + x^2 - \alpha^2\right] y(x) = 0$$ are the Hankel functions $H^{(1)}_\alpha(x)$ and $H^{(2)}_\alpha(x)$. I am interested in their asymptotic limit for complex numbers $z$…

Substituting sine function to cosine function in Bessel function

Suppose that the Bessel function is defined as: $$ J_{n}(\beta)=\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{0}^{2\pi}e^{j(\beta\,sin\,u-nu)}du $$ Does the following integral have any relationship to the Bessel…

Half-integer Bessel function evaluated at one

Let $K_\alpha$ denote the modified Bessel function of the second kind and order $\alpha$. We have $$ K_{1/2}(1) = 2e\sqrt{\pi /2},\\ K_{3/2}(1) = 7e\sqrt{\pi /2},\\ K_{5/2}(1) = 37e\sqrt{\pi /2},\\ K_{7/2}(1) = 266e\sqrt{\pi /2},\\ \text{etc.} $$ It…

Finding zeros of $f:x \rightarrow J_x(a), a \in \mathbb{C}$, with $J_x(a)$ the Bessel function of the 1st kind.

I'm looking for a function (preferrably in Python) which takes a complex number $a$ as input, and outputs the zeros of the function $f:x \rightarrow J_x(a)$ where $J_x(a)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind. This problem is relevant to solving…

Normalisation of Bessel function in spherical coordinate

Let's consider the general solution of a particle in an infinite potential well with a cutoff c: $$\Psi(r,\theta,\phi) = \sum_{lm}a_lJ_l(kr)Y_l^m(\theta, \phi)$$ where $J_l$ is the Bessel function of the first kind and $J_l(kc) = 0$. I read in a…

Zeroes of linear combinations of contiguous Bessel functions

Using Mathematica, it is relatively straightforward to check that the zeroes of $$ f_n(z)\equiv \sqrt{z} J_{n+\frac{1}{2}}(\sqrt{z})+J_{n+\frac{3}{2}}(\sqrt{z}) $$ with $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ and $J_n$ a Bessel function, lie on the positive real axis,…

A question about the integral representation of Bessel functions.

I have a question about Bessel functions, I know that the integral representation of the Bessel function of the first kind is: $J_n(x) = \frac{1}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi} \cos(x\sin(\theta)-n\theta) \,d\theta$ Now, what is this…

Injectivity of the modified Bessel function of the second kind $K_n(z)$.

I found that $K_n(z)$ is injective for all real n in Wolfram page: https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/BesselK.html (scroll down to click Scope > Function Properties). Is anyone aware of the reference (book, journal articles, etc.) discussing…

To solve $ \int_{a}^{b}J_{0}(x)dx$ where $J_{0}(x)$ is Bessel function of first kind and order zero:

I am attempting to solve this integral analytically, $$ \int_{a}^{b}J_{0}(x)dx $$ Here $J_{0}(x)$ is the Bessel function of first kind and order zero. How does one decide upon the infinite value of summation of this function to solve this integral?
