Integration of cosh ( bessel function )

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the integration of the function r * cosh(I0(r)), where r is the variable and I0 represents the zero-order modified Bessel function of the first kind. The user seeks a standard solution for this specific integration related to electrokinetic flow in microfluidics. It is concluded that the integral of composite functions, such as this one, typically cannot be simplified, indicating the complexity of the problem at hand.

Hi,

I am working on the derivation of an equation on electrokinetic flow in microfluidic.

I am stuck at a point that need me to do an integration in the form of

r * cosh (Io(r))

where r = variable to be integrated
I0 = zero order modified bessel function of the first kind

Is there any standard solution for this type of integration?

Thank a lot in advance for any advice provided.

I do not believe that can be simplified, integral of composite functions usually cannot.
