Solving for
For , the Bessel's equation simplifies, yielding solutions known as Bessel functions of the first and second kind, and respectively.
Asymptotic Behavior
As approaches infinity, Bessel functions exhibit oscillatory decay, which is characteristic of their asymptotic behavior.
Definition of Bessel's Differential Equation
A Bessel's differential equation is of the form
Solving for integer
When is an integer, the general solution is a combination of Bessel functions of the first kind and second kind , which are linearly independent.
Recurrence Relations
Recurrence relations are useful for relating Bessel functions of different orders, and can simplify computation and analysis.
Modified Bessel's Equation
The modified Bessel's equation is like the standard version but with a key difference: ; it describes exponentially growing and decaying functions.
Solving for non-integer
For non-integer , solutions involve Bessel functions of the first kind for both and , and , provided is not an integer.
Boundary Conditions and Bessel Functions
Proper application of boundary conditions will determine the constants in the general solution of Bessel's differential equation.
