Undergrad What is the indefinite integral of Bessel function of 1 order (first k

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The indefinite integral of the Bessel function of the first order, denoted as J1(x), does not have a closed-form solution in general. However, recurrence relations can be utilized to express integrals of Bessel functions in terms of other Bessel functions. For specific cases, such as integrating J1(x), the solution can be derived from the relationship with another Bessel function. The Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF) is a recommended resource for exploring integrals involving Bessel functions.

Hi
When we find integrals of Bessel function we use recurrence relations.
But this requires that we have the variable X raised to some power and multiplied with the function .
But how about when we have Bessel function of first order and without multiplication?
How should we integrate it ?

It is easier if you write out explicitly in correct notation what you are asking about. It seems to me you are asking about what the primitive function of ##J_n(x)## is. In the general case, like with many other functions, there is no closed form solution to this.

The recurrence relations help writing the integrals of Bessel functions in terms of other Bessel functions of other orders.

Again, these are special cases.

Are you asking for ##\int J_1(x) \, dx##? If so, then it has a particularly simple answer. Do you know a function ##y## such that ##dy/dx = J_1(x)## ? Hint: ##y## is a Bessel function.

Anyway, in general for complicated integrals with special function the first place I look is

the section on Bessel function includes a fair number of integrals.

Ok
Thanks
This really helps
I already solved it
 
Relativistic Momentum, Mass, and Energy Momentum and mass (...), the classic equations for conserving momentum and energy are not adequate for the analysis of high-speed collisions. (...) The momentum of a particle moving with velocity ##v## is given by $$p=\cfrac{mv}{\sqrt{1-(v^2/c^2)}}\qquad{R-10}$$ ENERGY In relativistic mechanics, as in classic mechanics, the net force on a particle is equal to the time rate of change of the momentum of the particle. Considering one-dimensional...
