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

Proof that a certain combination of $I_{\nu}(z)$ Bessel functions is equal to exactly $1$

Consider the function for $x>0$ and $y>0$ $$ f(x,y) := \frac{\pi x^2}{2y} \mathrm{csch}\left( \frac{\pi y}{2} \right) \left( I_{-1-i y/2}(x) I_{-1+iy/2}(x) - I_{1-i y/2}(x) I_{1+i y/2}(x) \right) $$ where $I_{\nu}(z)$ is a modified Bessel…

Property of Bessel's functions

While studying the properties of Bessel's function I came across a proof as :- $ J_0^2+2(J_1^2+J_2^2+ . . . . )=1$ I have tried this with the recurrence relations, but I didn't have any idea how to proceed. Thankyou.

Identity for the Bessel function

I'm sure this is easy, but I can't find it yet. What is $J_n(-x)$? Where $J_n$ is the usual Bessel function of integer order. In particular, I'm looking to the sum $\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty J_n(-x) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty f_n(-1)J_n(x) $, I want…

What is the relationship between the zeroth-order Bessel function of the first kind and nested cosines?

I'm reading a paper where this equality is claimed: $$\cos(a + b \cos(t) ) = \cos(a) J_0(b),$$ where $a$, $b$ are constants and $J_0$ is the zeroth-order Bessel function of the first kind. How can I show that this equality is true? (Maybe this is…

Frequency modulation synthesis side bands

I am trying to understand frequency modulation (applied to sound spectrum synthesis, not radio transmission), and all explanations of side bands I have found make a huge leap. For reference, frequency modulation (in its purest form mathematically)…

Derivation and integral of Bessel's function

Let $f(x)$ function define by $$ f(x)=x^m e^{-bx}K_{n+1}(ax)^{'} $$ where $K_v(⋅)$ is the $v$-th order modified Bessel function of the second kind and $L^{'}(x)$ is the derivation of function $L(x)$. I would like to compute the following integral…

Zeroth order modified Bessel function integral representation

I'm trying to understand the derivation of: $$ I_0(x) = \frac{1}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi} \exp(x\cos\theta) \, d\theta$$ I'm trying to use this generating function: $$ \exp\left(\frac{x}{2}(z+z^{-1})\right) = \exp(x\cos\theta) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty…

Bessel functions identities

Prove the following identities: $$a) \int J_3(z) dz = -2J_2-J_0 + C$$ $$b) \int z^3 J_1(z)dz = z^3J_1-2z^2J_2+C$$ I tried using the recursive formulae, of course, namely $J_{\nu-1}-J_{\nu+1}=2J^{'}_{\nu}$ for the first one and for the second one I…

Bessel function solution check

I'm pretty sure the Bessel function $J_0(x)$ should solve the equation: $$ x^2 \frac{d^2 f}{d x^2} + x \frac{d f}{dx} + x^2 f = 0 $$ according to wikipedia this is the standard form of a bessel function differential equation. However, when I go to…

Dividing Modified Bessel function of the second kind at x=0

I have to prove that $\frac{K_l^2(0)}{K_{l+1}(0) K_{l-1}(0)} = 1 - \frac{1}{l}\quad \text{for} \quad l \ge 2 $ Where $K_l$ is the modified Bessel function of the second kind and $l$ is the order. I'm having trouble figuring out how this gives a…

How is proof of $J_0^2 (x)$ + $2J_1^2 (x)$ + $2J_2^2 (x)$ $+ ... = 1$ done using the Bessel's generating function? Please help

$J_0^2 (x)$ + $2J_1^2 (x)$ + $2J_2^2 (x)$ $+ ... = 1$. I have managed to obtain the sine and cosine expansions of Bessel functions, however, I could not arrive at the expression in question

Prove half integer order Bessel-equation are trigonometric functions

I was asked to prove, with the power serie of $J_{\pm \nu}(x)$ that $J_{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi x}}\sin(x)$ and $J_{-\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi x}}\cos(x)$. We know that…
