How can I integrate this expression:
\[
\int_0^{\infty} \mathcal{J}_1(kR)e^{-kz}dk = \frac{1}{R} \left[1 - \frac{z^2}{\sqrt{R^2 + z^2}} \right]
\]
where \(\mathcal{J}_1\) is the Bessel function of order 1.

It is remarkable the fact that in the right term the variable z, that exists in the left term, doesn't exists (Dull) ...

Any way... a general formula does exist...

$\displaystyle \mathcal{L} \{ a^{n}\ J_{n} (a\ t)\} = \frac{(\sqrt{s^{2}+ a^{2}} - s)^{n}}{\sqrt{s^{2}-a^{2}}}\ (1)$

Kind regards

You can evaluate the Laplace transform of the Bessel function of the first kind of positive integer order by using the integral representation

$ \displaystyle J_{n}(bx) = \frac{1}{\pi} \int_{0}^{\pi} \cos(n \theta -bx \sin \theta) \ d \theta = \frac{1}{2 \pi} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} e^{i(n \theta - b x \sin \theta)} d \theta $$ \displaystyle\int_{0}^{\infty} J_{n}(bx) e^{-ax} \ dx = \displaystyle \frac{1}{2 \pi} \int_{0}^{\infty} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} e^{i(n \theta -bx \sin \theta)} e^{-ax} \ d \theta \ dx$

$ = \displaystyle \frac{1}{2 \pi} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{i n \theta} e^{-(a+ib \sin \theta)x} \ dx \ d \theta = \frac{1}{2 \pi} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} \frac{e^{i n \theta}}{a + ib \sin \theta} d \theta$

$ = \displaystyle\frac{1}{2 \pi} \int_{|z|=1} \frac{z^{n}}{a+\frac{b}{2} \left(z-\frac{1}{z} \right)} \frac{dz} {iz} = \frac{1}{\pi i} \int_{|z|=1} \frac{z^{n}}{bz^{2}+2az-b} \ dz$

$ = \displaystyle \frac{1}{\pi i} \int_{|z|=1} \frac{z^{n}}{b(z-z_{1})(z-z_{2})} \ dz $

where $\displaystyle z_{1} = -\frac{a}{b} + \frac{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}{b}$ and $\displaystyle z_{2} = -\frac{a}{b} - \frac{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}{b}$Only $z_{1}$ is inside the unit circle.So $ \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\infty} J_{n} (bx) e^{-ax} \ dx = \frac{1}{\pi i} 2 \pi i \ \text{Res} \left[ \frac{z^{n}}{bz^{2}+2az-b}, z_{1} \right]$

$ \displaystyle = \lim_{z \to z_{1}} \frac{z^{n}}{bz+a} = \frac{(\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}-a)^{n}}{b^{n}\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}$

@RandomVariable,
I actually read your post on math.SX because ChiSigma's has a typo with the minus. His typo had my googling lapace transform of the Bessel Eq and I found yours on SX prior to your post here.
 
I have the equation ##F^x=m\frac {d}{dt}(\gamma v^x)##, where ##\gamma## is the Lorentz factor, and ##x## is a superscript, not an exponent. In my textbook the solution is given as ##\frac {F^x}{m}t=\frac {v^x}{\sqrt {1-v^{x^2}/c^2}}##. What bothers me is, when I separate the variables I get ##\frac {F^x}{m}dt=d(\gamma v^x)##. Can I simply consider ##d(\gamma v^x)## the variable of integration without any further considerations? Can I simply make the substitution ##\gamma v^x = u## and then...
