Homework Statement
So I've been staring at this problem for hours and I can't figure it out. The idea is to transform a second order equation of motion (depends on 'r' and 't') by the Hankel Transform. I think the purpose is to to avoid using separation of variables which tends to cause trouble when the boundary conditions vary with time. See the first attached image for the equation of motion and the boundary & initial conditions.
Homework Equations
I'm trying to understand how they got to the "transformed equation" (see second attached image). All they say in the paper is:
"Transformation of equation (I) and the initial conditions (equations (2) and (3)), and
use of the boundary conditions (equations (4) and (5)) will yield the differential equation..."
The Attempt at a Solution
I can't quite understand through reading the paper how the equation is transformed. I somewhat follow the derivation of the "Hankel Transformation Identity" (third image) but I can't understand how this is used to transform the above mentioned equation.
Update: I now see how they derived the LEFT side of the equation (i.e. the second derivative of y + a^2...). But how about the RIGHT side? Where does all that come from? e.g. 2a^2/Pi*(row*F2-F1) .
Thank you for any help.
