Standard Bessel Functions

Standard Bessel functions. Standard Bessel functions are very important in applied mathematics. These are presented in Table 1.6 [5]. 

In the absence of simplifying assumptions a non-closed form analytical solution of these equations giving the concentration of each species as a function of time has been accomplished through the use of Bessel functions U1 ). Simplifying assumptions, such as a large hydroxyl excess, are acceptable theoretically but are not helpful in determining the rate constants of coatings materials with standard compositions. 

These functions which arise in the way described have been tabulated in Tables of Spherical Bessel Functions 2 vols. (Columbia Univ. Press, 1947) prepared by the Mathematical Tables Project of the National Bureau of Standards. 

The standard linear-independent solutions for Eq. (3.4) are the spherical modified Bessel functions, )(m) and ki(u) (Arfken, 1968). A brief introduction to them is provided in Appendix C. These so-called special functions are actually elementary functions. ... 

Following the standard series expansion of Bessel functions, the power-series expansion of the function i (z) near z = 0 has the following form ... 

On the other hand, following the standard asymptotic expansion of Bessel functions, it is easy to prove that the functions k z) have the following exact general expression. 

Also, following the standard recursion relations of Bessel functions, the recursion relations for both i and K are ...

The series solution of Bessel s differential equation will provide facts about the Bessel function s behavior near the origin. The series solution is also used to generate the standard function, and tabulated values of Bessel functions. The resulting series solution is... 

In quantum mechanics and other branches of mathematical physics, we repeatedly encounter what are called special functions. These are often solutions of second-order differential equations with variable coefficients. The most famous examples are Bessel functions, which we wiU not need in this book. Our first encounter with special functions are the Hermite polynomials, contained in solutions of the Schrodinger equation. In subsequent chapters we will introduce Legendre and Laguerre functions. Sometime in 2004, theU.S. National Institute of Standards and Tec hnology (NIST) will publish an online Digital Library of Mathematical Functions, http / /dlmf. nist. gov, including graphics and cross-references. 

The potential parameters for the free-electron case are interesting for several reasons. First of all they are easy to calculate analytically from standard expressions for the spherical Bessel functions [4.2] and therefore useful in order-of-magnitude estimates. Secondly, they may be used in empty-lattice tests of the LMTO method in order to indicate the accuracy of that method in various applications. Such tests are also useful for programme debugging purposes. Thirdly, muffin-tin orbitals with free-electron parameters are used in Sect.6.9 to derive a correction to the atomic-sphere approxir mation. 

From standard relations for the derivatives of the spherical Bessel functions [4.2] we find... 

The integrals can be evaluated from standard tables containing integrals of Bessel functions [3]. The overall solution to this problem is... 

Each filter alignment has a frequency response with a characteristic shape (Fig. 4.32), which provides some particular advantage. For example, filters with Butterworth, Chebyshev, or Bessel alignment are called aU-pole filters because their lowpass transfer functions have no zeros. Table 4.6 summarizes the characteristics of the standard filter alignments.
