    Partial Differential equation, Temp in a Cylinder

    Homework Statement Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Because we are only looking at a cross section, I tried to reduce 5.3 down to just being a function of R and Theta. However I reasoned that there should be, based on this problem, no dependence on Theta either, so I figured I...

    Bessel Equation and Bessel fuctions

    We first express Bessel's Equation in Sturm-Liouville form through a substitution: Next, we consider a series solution and replace v by m where m is an integer. We obtain a recurrence relation: Then, since all these terms must be = 0, Consider m = 0 First term vanishes and second term = a1x...

    Numerical evaluation of modified Bessel equation

    Not sure if this is the right place. Mathematica has a function BesselK[0,x] that returns the value of the modified Bessel function K_0 at x. Is there public documentation of how this algorithm works? If not, is there documentation regarding any algorithm of K_0? I am hoping it doesn't...

    Why Does n_0(x) Fail to Satisfy the Spherical Bessel Equation?

    What am I missing when I'm unsuccessful in showing by direct substitution into the spherical Bessel equation r^2 \frac{d^2R}{dr^2} + 2r \frac{dR}{dr} + [k^2 r^2 - n(n + 1)] R = 0 that n_0 (x) = - \frac{1}{x} \sum_{s \geq 0} \frac{(-1)^s}{(2s)!} x^{2s} is a solution? What's the catch??

    Linear dependence of bessel equation

    why for bessel equations, if n isn't an integer, you can have the solution y(x)=(c1)Jn(x) +(c2)J(-n)x but isn't true if n's an integer?
