§11.10 Anger–Weber Functions

Contents

§11.10(i) Definitions

The Anger function Jν(z) and Weber function Eν(z) are defined by

11.10.1 Jν(z)=1π0πcos(νθ-zsinθ)dθ,
11.10.2 Eν(z)=1π0πsin(νθ-zsinθ)dθ.

Each is an entire function of z and ν. Also,

11.10.3 1π02πcos(νθ-zsinθ)dθ=(1+cos(2πν))Jν(z)+sin(2πν)Eν(z).

The associated Anger–Weber function Aν(z) is defined by

11.10.4 Aν(z)=1π0e-νt-zsinhtdt,
z>0.

(11.10.4) also applies when z=0 and ν>0.

§11.10(ii) Differential Equations

The Anger and Weber functions satisfy the inhomogeneous Bessel differential equation

11.10.5 d2wdz2+1zdwdz+(1-ν2z2)w=f(ν,z),

where

11.10.6 f(ν,z)=(z-ν)πz2sin(πν),
w=Jν(z),

or

11.10.7 f(ν,z)=-1πz2(z+ν+(z-ν)cos(πν)),
w=Eν(z).

§11.10(iii) Maclaurin Series

11.10.8 Jν(z)=cos(12πν)S1(ν,z)+sin(12πν)S2(ν,z),
11.10.9 Eν(z)=sin(12πν)S1(ν,z)-cos(12πν)S2(ν,z),

where

11.10.10 S1(ν,z)=k=0(-1)k(12z)2kΓ(k+12ν+1)Γ(k-12ν+1),
11.10.11 S2(ν,z)=k=0(-1)k(12z)2k+1Γ(k+12ν+32)Γ(k-12ν+32).

These expansions converge absolutely for all finite values of z.

§11.10(v) Interrelations

11.10.12 Jν(-z) =J-ν(z),

where the prime on the second summation symbols means that the first term is to be halved.
