FORMULAS FOR BESSEL FUNCTIONS



J (x ) =
(1)m x + 2m
Bessel function of the first kind of order : + 2m
m!( + m +1)
m=0 2
cos J (x ) J (x )
Bessel function of the second kind of order : Y (x ) =
sin

J (x ) , J (x ) and Y (x ) all have infinitely many zeros. For 0 , J (x ) is finite for all values of x but J (x )
and Y (x ) are unbounded at the origin.

Corollary 1 (p. 798, Wylie, 6/ed)
If (1 r )2 4b , then except in the special cases a = 0 (and s = r 2 ) when it reduces to Eulers equation, the
differential equation x r y' '+ ax s + bx r 2 y = 0

If a < 0 , J and Y are to be replaced by I and K , respectively. If is not an integer, Y and K can be
respectively replaced by J and I if desired.
