See also:Bessel's Functions as Coefficients in an Expansion.—It is clear that e'P See also:COS 4' =e'x or e'P See also:sir' 0=e," satisfy the See also:differential See also:equation (31), hence if these exponentials be See also:expanded in See also:series of cosines and sines of multiples of ¢, the coefficients must be Bessel's functions, which it is easy to see are of the first See also:kind To expand e'P See also:sin 4', put e'4' =t, we have then to expand e_P('_,-i) in See also:powers of t. Multiplying together the two absolutely convergent series \ e °7-1ml(2)mtm,e LP` - ( m~m 12p1 tm, we obtain for the coefficient of tm in the product l\ J 4 2mm! 2.201+2+2.4.2171+2.2m+4- ... } or Jm(P), hence the Bessel's functions were defined by Schlomilch as the coefficients of the powers of t in the expansion of elp(7-i '), and many of the properties of the functions can be deduced from this expansion. By differentiating both sides of (32) with respect to t, and equating the coefficients, of t"'-' on both sides, we find the relation J.-1(p) +Jm+i(P)=2p Jm(P), which connects three consecutive functions. Again, by differentiating both sides of (32) with respect to p, and equating the coefficients of corresponding terms, we find 2dr (P)-m 1(P)-Jmi(P)- In (32), let t=e b, and equate the real and imaginary parts, we have then cos (p sin 0)=Jo(P)+2Jz(p) cos 24)+2J3(P) cos 30+... sin (p sin 0) =2Ji(p) sin ¢+2J3(p) sin 30+.. , wee obtain expansions of cos (p cos 0), sin (p cos 0), by changing 4) into 1-4. On comparing these expansions with See also:Fourier's series, we find expressions for J,,,(p) as definite integrals, thus Jo(P) = J u cos (psin ¢)d¢, J,,,(p) _; fcos (p sin 0) cosmrbdetz. (m even) Jm(P) =,r' j sin (p sin ¢) sin m¢d¢ (m See also:odd). It can easily be deduced that when m is any See also:positive integer i,, (P) = jo cos (m0-p sin 0)1¢. 23. Bessel's Functions as Limits of See also:Legendre's Functions.—The See also:system of orthogonal surfaces whose parameters are cylindrical co-ordinates may be obtained as a limiting See also:case of those whose parameters are polar co-ordinates, when the centre of the See also:spheres moves off to an indefinite distance from the portion of space which is contemplated. It would therefore be expected that the normal forms e ±(Jm(Xp)s nm4) would be derivable as limits of r nd'IPn (cos 8)s mip, and we shall show that this is actually the case. If 0 be the centre of the spheres, take as new origin a point C on the See also:axis of z, such that OC =a; let P be a point whose polar coordinates are r, 0, 4) referred to 0 as origin, and cylindrical co-ordinates p, z, 4) referred to C as origin; we have p = r sin B, z = r cos 0 -a, hence (a) "P"(cose) = see() (1+0 "P"(cos 0) . Now let 0 move off to an See also:infinite distance from C, so that a becomes ( m-1 (2) .L ( ( ./II(n ni)II(n) 2) z" "=0 (31) or thus we have e'P('-d-1) = Jo (P) +tJ1(P) + . - . +tmJ m (p) + .. . —t 1Ji(n)+. .+(—I)'"t-mJ,n(P) (32) = F'tmJm(P) infinite, and at the same See also:time let n become infinite in such a way that n/a has a finite value X. Then as n L sec" B=L (sec a) = 1, L (t +a!) =eM' and it remains to find the limiting value of P,(cos 0). From the series (15), it may be at once proved that Ps(cos 0) = - (n+!) n (sin 2) 2+.. . 1 (—1)m8(n+mlz.2(m2m+I) (sin 2) zm where S is some number numerically less than unity and m is a fixed finite quantity sufficiently large; on proceeding to the limit, we have LP', (COS np) =I ---+224.1-...+(-I)m8122 42 (2m)2 where Si is less than unity. Hence L Pn (cos?P) = Jo(7sP)• n-a0 n d (- h2) m (-2)mPm ( ) d(PL)m hence L n "'Pn (cos P) =J,(P)• n- so n It may be shown that Yo (p) is obtainable as the limit of Qs (cos n) the zonal See also:harmonic of the second kind ; and that Ym(p) =Ln "'Q: (cos ) . 24. Definite Integral Solutions of Bessel's Equation.--Bessel's equation of See also:order m, where m is unrestricted, is satisfied by the expression p'° f e"e'(12- I)m-Idt, where the path of integration is either a See also:curve which is closed on the See also:Riemann's See also:surface on which the integrand is represented, or is taken between limits, at each of which e,Pi(t2-1)TM+f is zero. The equation is also satisfied by the expres- See also:sion f ewP(t - I 1)t TM-1dt where the integral is taken along a closed path as before, or between limits at See also:earn of which e12P(t-t 1)t_m_I vanishes. The following definite integral expressions for Bessel's functions are derivable from these fundamental forms.

The Asymptotic Series for Bessel's Functions.—It may be shown, by means of definite integral expressions for the Bessel's functions, that j( )} Jm(P) = P P cos (211+5—0 + Q sin (2~+I-P) Ym(P) = . / e "' sec ma P sin (2'r+ -P) -Q cos (2F+ -P) where P and Q denote the series pI _(4m2-12)(4mn2-32) I .2 .

These series for P, Q are divergent unless m is See also:half an odd integer, but it can be shown that they may be used for calculating the values of the functions, as they have the See also:property that if in the calculation we stop at any See also:term, the See also:error in the value of the See also:function is less than the next term; thus in using the series for calculation, we must stop at a term which is small. In such series the See also:remainder after n terms has a minimum for some value of n, and for greater values of n increases beyond all limits; such series are called semi-convergent or asymptotic. We have as particular cases of such series: Jo(P) I a 12.(-8p32)2+ 11.22.332 ..52.72 = \1,~d2p cos (4 - p) ) I.24(8p)4 ..
