Bessel Definition and 249 Threads

Hello, While reading Sakurai (scattering theory/Eikonal approximation section), I encountered a referenced integral ## \int_0^\infty J_1(x)^2\frac{dx}{x}=1/2 ## I also see this integral from a few places (wolfram, DLMF, etc), so I tried to prove this from various angles (recurrence relations...

Hello. Does anybody know a proof of this formula? $$J_{2}(e)\equiv\frac{1}{e}\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{J_{i}(i\cdot e)}{i}\cdot\frac{J_{i+1}((i+1)\cdot e)}{i+1}$$with$$0<e<1$$ We ran into this formula in a project, and think that it is correct. It can be checked successfully with numeric...

I edited this to remove some details/attempts that I no longer think are correct or helpful. But my core issue is I have never seen this approach to approximating integrals that is used in the attached textbook image. Any more details on what is happening here, or advice on where to learn more...

In Wikipedia article on Bessel functions there is an integral definition of “non-integer order” a (“alpha”). For imaginary order ia I get that Jia* = J-ia, where * is complex conjugate and ia and -ia are subscripts. Then in same article there is a definition of Neumann function, again for...

Hey all, I wanted to know if anyone knew somewhere I could find the asymptotic behavior for small x (i.e x approaching 0) limit of the modified Bessel equations with complex order. The wikipedia page for Bessel functions...

Hi When we find integrals of Bessel function we use recurrence relations. But this requires that we have the variable X raised to some power and multiplied with the function . But how about when we have Bessel function of first order and without multiplication? How should we integrate it ?

Hi PF! Do you know of any examples of the Ritz method which use Bessel functions as trial functions? I’ve seen examples with polynomials, Legendre polynomials, Fourier modes. However, all of these are orthogonal with weight 1. Bessel functions are different in this way. Any advice on an...

Integral \int^{\pi}_0\sin^3xdx=\int^{\pi}_0\sin x \sin^2xdx=\int^{\pi}_0\sin x (1-\cos^2 x)dx=\frac{4 \pi}{3} Is it possible to write integral ##\int^{\pi}_0\sin^3xdx## in form of Beta function, or even Bessel function?

I tried integration by parts with both ##u = x^2, dv = J_0 dx## and ##u = J_0, du = -J_1 dx, dv = x^2 dx.## But neither gets me in a very good place at all. With the first, I begin to get integrals within integrals, and with the second my powers of ##x## in the integral would keep growing...
