Bessel function of the first kind   (English)

Definition Niveau 4

The Bessel function of the first kind of order n is written Jn(z), and defined as
Jn(z) = 1

π

π

0 
cos(ntzsin(t))dt

where n is not zero.
If n is a positive integer, this is equal to:
Jn(z) =

r=0 
(−1)r

r! Γ(n+r+1)

z

2

n+2r

 

These functions arise in the solution of the wave equation in cylindrical coordinates. They satisfy Bessel's equation.
