Solution of Bessel Differential Equation Using Bessel Function

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around demonstrating that the Bessel function of order n, defined by the integral involving exponential functions, is a solution to the Bessel differential equation. Participants suggest using differentiation under the integral sign to compute the necessary derivatives. There is a focus on ensuring that the third term in the differential equation also equals zero after differentiation. The conversation highlights the importance of correctly calculating the derivatives F'(x) and F''(x) to validate the solution. Overall, the thread seeks guidance on solving the ordinary differential equation using Bessel functions.

Hello
I have the following problem:
I must show that the Bessel function of order n\in Z

J_n(x)=\int_{-\pi}^\pi e^{ix\sin\vartheta}e^{-in\vartheta}\mathrm{d}\vartheta

is a solution of the Bessel differential equation

x^2\frac{d^2f}{dx^2}+x\frac{df}{dx}+(x^2-n^2)f=0

Would be very thankful for some help :-)

well the first 2 summands equal 0 (i hope I've calculated this correctly) but its more a problem with the third one. how can i show that this will also become 0?
 
Let's call your right-hand-side F(x)
Then: what do you get for F'(x) and F''(x)
 
Hello,
I'd like to know how to solve the ODE shown in the attached file using Bessel functions

I will be very grateful!
