hallo, i now spent an hour looking for a formula connecting the modified bessel functions I_n and K_n to the hypergeometrical series F(a,b;c;z).
has somedoby an idea?
thank you

The modified Bessel function, denoted as In(x), is a special function that is used to solve differential equations in physics and engineering. It is closely related to the hypergeometric function, which is a more general function used in the solution of differential equations and in the study of special functions.
The modified Bessel function is defined by the following integral:
In(x) = (1/π) ∫0π ex cos θ cos(nθ) dθ
This integral is known as the Bessel integral and it can also be expressed in terms of the hypergeometric function.
The modified Bessel and hypergeometric functions have numerous practical applications in physics, engineering, and mathematics. They are used to solve differential equations, model physical phenomena, and calculate various physical quantities such as heat flow, electric fields, and probability distributions.
Yes, both the modified Bessel and hypergeometric functions have many special properties that make them useful in various mathematical and scientific contexts. For example, the modified Bessel function has infinite series representations, recurrence relations, and asymptotic expansions which can be used for computations. The hypergeometric function has properties such as symmetry, integral representations, and transformation formulas.
In addition to the integral representation mentioned earlier, the modified Bessel function can also be expressed as a series of hypergeometric functions. Furthermore, both functions have connections to other special functions such as the gamma function and the confluent hypergeometric function. These connections are important in understanding the properties and applications of these functions.
