How to Integrate Bessel Functions Over z?

In summary, the conversation is about finding the integral of Bessel functions involving H0(z)2/z and H0(z)2/(z-a). The speaker has tried using a resource but did not find the desired result. They mention that a closed form using standard special functions may not exist and suggest using numerical methods instead.

Hi, I am trying to find the following integral of bessel functions, any help would be great:
∫H0(z)2/z dz

Thanks

Thanks but I have tried it and could not find it. Actually I am interested in integrals involving H0(z)2/(z-a) or J0(z)Y0(z)/(z-a)

The closed form involves very complicated special functions :

If the denominator is (z-a) instead of z, I doubt that a closed form might exist with the standard special functions.

Yeah, when I run into a Meijer-G function I usually take that as a sign that I want to solve the problem numerically (or, better yet, move on to another problem entirely. :-p ).
 

FAQ: How to Integrate Bessel Functions Over z?

What is an integral Bessel function over z?

An integral Bessel function over z is a mathematical function that is used to solve differential equations in physics and engineering. It is defined as the integral of the Bessel function of the first kind with respect to the variable z.

How is an integral Bessel function over z calculated?
