How to Solve the Integral of x^3*J3(x)?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The integral of x^3*J3(x) can be solved using integration by parts and recursion relationships of Bessel functions. Specifically, the relationships involving J1 and J0 are crucial for simplifying the integral. The discussion emphasizes the importance of the derivative identity for Bessel functions, which states that the derivative of x^m J_m(x) equals x^m J_{m-1}(x). This approach provides a systematic method for tackling the integral without limits.

Hello Everyone trying to come up with a stratagey to solving this integral

Int(x^3*J3(x),x) no limits

Ive tried some integration by parts and tried breaking it down into J1 and J0's however i still get to a point where I have to integrate either : Int(x*J1(x),x) or Int(J6(x),x)

Use the following recursion relationships.

Start with the first one, and let n+1 = 3

[tex]\frac{2n}{x}\,J_n(x)\,=\,J_{n-1}(x)\,+\,J_{n+1}(x)[/tex]

[tex]2\frac{dJ_n(x)}{dx}\,=\,J_{n-1}(x)\,-\,J_{n+1}(x)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dJ_0(x)}{dx}\,=\,-J_1(x)[/tex]

Of course, one could use the more general derivative identity

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}[x^m J_m(x)]\,=\,x^m J_{m-1}(x)[/tex]

but one should probably prove that.
