Some novel infinite series of spherical Bessel functions

Some Integrals Involving Bessel Functions Some Integrals Involving Bessel Functions

A number of new definite integrals involving Bessel functions are presented. These have been derived by finding new integral representations for the product of two Bessel functions of different order and argument in terms of the generalized hypergeometric function with subsequent reduction to special cases. Connection is made with Weber's second exponential integral and Laplace transforms of pr...

Spherical Bessel functions and explicit quadrature formula

An evaluation of the derivative of spherical Bessel functions of order n + 1 2 at its zeros is obtained. Consequently, an explicit quadrature formula for entire functions of exponential type is given.

The Calculation of Spherical Bessel Functions and Coulomb Functions

An account is given of the Steed algorithm for calculating Coulomb functions and, as a special case, both spherical Bessel and Riccati–Bessel functions. These functions are needed for boundary-condition matching in scattering problems in Atomic and Nuclear physics. Central to the technique is the evaluation of continued fractions and for this calculation Lentz’s forward method (modified by Thom...

The plane wave expansion, infinite integrals and identities involving spherical Bessel functions

This paper shows that the plane wave expansion can be a useful tool in obtaining analytical solutions to infinite integrals over spherical Bessel functions and the derivation of identites for these functions. The integrals are often used in nuclear scattering calculations, where an analytical result can provide an insight into the reaction mechanism. A technique is developed whereby an integral...
