Bessel functions of general order.
Bessel function also called cylinder function any of a set of mathematical functions systematically derived around 1817 by the german astronomer friedrich wilhelm bessel during an investigation of solutions of one of kepler s equations of planetary motion. If the argument is real and the order nu is integer the bessel function is real and its graph has the form of a damped vibration fig. In mathematical physics one often uses specialist books. Chapter 10 bessel functions f.

If the order is even the bessel function is even if odd it is odd. Although α and α produce the same differential equation it is conventional to define different bessel functions for these two values in. When one an alyzes the sound vibrations of a drum the partial differential wave equation pde is solved in cylindrical coordinates. It is often obtained by the separation of the wave equation 2u t2 c2r2u 2 in cylindric or spherical coordinates.
Bessel functions first defined by the mathematician daniel bernoulli and then generalized by friedrich bessel are canonical solutions y of bessel s differential equation x 2 d 2 y d x 2 x d y d x y 0 displaystyle x 2 frac d 2 y dx 2 x frac dy dx lefty 0 for an arbitrary complex number α the order of the bessel function. The bessel function of the second kind of order ν can be expressed in terms of the bessel function of the first kind as follows. Bessel functions appear in a wide variety of physical problems. Bessel function are an inexhaustible subject there are always more useful properties than one knows.
