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!
