Integral of 2 Bessel functions of different orders

In summary, the conversation revolves around finding a solution to the integral involving Bessel functions with different orders. The speaker mentions using Lommel's integrals for cases where the orders are the same, but for different orders, only hypergeometric functions are obtained. They were able to find a solution for the case where the orders are equal, but not for any other arbitrary case.

TL;DR Summary
For implementing a mode-matching technique in EM simulation, I want to get a closed-form equation of the integral of [tex] \int_{0}^{r} \frac{1}{\rho} J_m(a\rho) J_n(b\rho) d\rho [/tex]
I can only find a solution to [tex] \int_{0}^{r} \frac{1}{\rho} J_m(a\rho) J_n(b\rho) d\rho [/tex]
with the Lommel's integral . On my last thread (here), I got an idea about how to execute this when [tex] m = n[/tex] (Bessel functions with the same order) using Lommel's integrals (Using some properties of Bessel functions.). However, all that I get with the problem having Bessel's functions with different orders is some hyper-geometric functions. Is there any other way to solve it when [tex] m != n[/tex]Here, [tex] J_m [/tex] is the Bessel function of the first kind of order m.

What's wrong with hypergeometric functions?

Well, I just realized I got a hypergeometric function when the orders are of the form m - 1 and m + 1. For any other arbitrary case, I haven't seen any solution with hypergeometric functions.

I was able to find a solution when a=b, otherwise no.
