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, $$ H_{\nu}^{(1)} = J_{\nu} + i Y_{\nu}, \qquad H_{\nu}^{(2)} = J_{\nu} - i Y_{\nu}. $$

How to evaluate modified bessel functions of even integer order and with negative argument

I am trying to compute modified Bessel functions of nonnegative even integer orders but with negative argument in R. However, I am drawing a blank, because the function as coded in R says it only holds for nonnegative arguments. My arguments are…

Relation between $J_0(\alpha \sqrt{i^3\beta})$ and $J_0(\alpha \sqrt{i\beta})$

Let us consider $J_0()$ as the zero-order Bessel function of the first kind, and $\alpha$ and $\beta$ as constants. Then, is it possible to write $J_0(\alpha \sqrt{i^3\beta})$ in terms of $J_0(\alpha\sqrt{i\beta})$? In other words, what is the…

Given a Bessel function of the first kind $j_{l}$ satisfying the spherical Bessel equation, how would one show that $j_{l+1}$ also satisfies it.

The spherical Bessel equation is $$\left[\frac{d^2}{d\rho^2} +\frac{2}{\rho}\frac{d}{d\rho} - \frac{l(l+1)}{\rho^2} + 1\right] j_{l}(\rho) = 0$$ and I have the recurrence relation $$j_{l+1} = \frac{lj_{l}}{\rho} -\frac{dj_{l}}{d\rho}$$ and dont…

Recurrence Relation of Modified Bessel Function of Second Kind

I am trying to deduce the recurrence relation for the modified Bessel function of the second kind $\mathcal{K}_\nu(x)$ (the answer is shown here, page 20). I am clearly making a mistake but I haven't found it after trying many times. My starting…

How can we derive the Rodrigue's formula for $j_n(z)$ from its integral representation?

the integral representation of the spherical Bessel function of first kind $$j_{n}\left(z\right)=\frac{z^{n}}{2^{n+1}n!}\int_{0}^{\pi}\cos\left(z\cos\theta\right)(\sin\theta)^{2n+1}\,d\theta.\tag{1}$$ Starting from (1), can we arrive at the formula…

How to prove this Bessel equality?

I've got a problem with proving this Bessel's equality: $$x^2 = 2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (2n)^2 J_{2n}(x)$$ The Bessel generating function is $\exp(\frac{x}{2}(t-t^{-1})) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}J_{n}(x)t^n$. I think the solution should is replace…

Calculate order from given value of Bessel Function of first kind

I am given the Bessel function of first kind of order $n$, $$J_n(\beta)= \frac{1}{\pi} \int_{0}^\pi \cos(\beta \sin x-nx)dx.$$ $n$ is positive integer. It's value is known as $J_n(\beta)\geq0.01$ for a particular $\beta$, meaning I need to find out…

Imaginary part of the Kelvin Function (modified Bessel function of the first kind)

I'm pretty sure this is a relatively straightforward and simple thing, but here we are. I'm trying to write out (and use) the equation for the imaginary portion (kei(x)) of a zeroth order Kelvin function in order to plot out a graph similar to this,…

Can this integral be written in terms of Bessel functions?

I have seen in the literature that $$J_n(z)=\frac{1}{\pi i^n}\int_0^{\pi}e^{i z \cos{\theta}}\cos(n\theta)d\theta.$$ I have to deal with the following expression $$f_n(z)=\int_0^{\pi}e^{i z \cos{\theta}}\sin(n\theta)d\theta.$$ My question is: can…

Relation for Bessel functions

I have function $$Q_{n}(z)=\frac{J_{n+1}(z)}{zJ_{n}(z)},$$where $J_{n+1}(z)$ and $J_{n}(z)$ are Bessel functions of the first kind. I need to prove $$\frac{dQ_{n}}{dz}=\frac{1}{z}-\frac{2(n+1)}{z}Q_{n}(z)+zQ_{n}^{2}(z)$$ but I don't know where to…

Complex exponential approximation using Bessel Functions

I just came across this approximation that I have no idea how it was derived: $e^{i\beta sin(\Omega t)} \approx J_0(\beta) + 2iJ_1(\beta)sin(\Omega t)$ I thought of using Moivre theorem and the fact that $cos(\beta sin(\Omega t)) =…

Decomposition of the argument of Bessel function?

By assuming that the Bessel function defined like as $$ J_\nu(x+y)$$ I want to de-composite it, namely: $$ J_\nu(x+y)=J_\nu(x)*J_\nu(y)$$ or another form. But I don't know how it possible. in fact, I don't want to solve it to reach to answer. Get…

Bessel function expansion with complex argument

In "Bessel function of the first kind with complex argument" paper, authors have expanded a Bessel function $$ J_0(z) $$ with complex argument $$ z=x+i y $$ for $$ |x|\ll 1 $$ and $$ |y|\ll 1. $$ But I want to expand it when $$ |y|\gg|x| $$ or…
