How do I solve this?
$$
u_t(r,\theta,0) = \frac{c}{a}\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \sum_{m = 0}^{ \infty} \mathcal{J}_{mn} \left(z_{mn}\frac{r}{a}\right)z_{mn} \left[C_{mn}\cos m\theta + D_{mn}\sin m\theta\right] = \delta(r - r_0,\theta - \theta_0).

$$
If this isn't correct, how do I integrate this with the delta?
I tried the below but it errored.
Code:
ClearAll["Global`*"]
z = Table[N[BesselJZero[m, n]], {n, 1, 20}, {m, 0, 5}];
a=c=1;
z // TableForm

A = Table[
   2*NIntegrate[
      DiracDelta[
        r - Subscript[r, 0], \[Theta] - Subscript[\[Theta], 0]]*r*
       Cos[m*\[Theta]]*BesselJ[m, z[[m, n]]*r/a], {\[Theta], 0, 
       2*Pi}, {r, 0, a}]/(Pi*c*a*BesselJ[m + 1, z[[m, n]]*r/a]^2), {m,
     1, 5}, {n, 1, 20}];

FAQ: Integrating delta/Bessel function

What is a delta/Bessel function?

A delta/Bessel function is a mathematical function that is used to describe the distribution of energy in a system. It is commonly used in physics, engineering, and other scientific fields to model the behavior of waves, such as sound waves or electromagnetic waves.

How are delta/Bessel functions integrated?

The integration of delta/Bessel functions is a complex process that involves using various mathematical techniques, such as contour integration and Fourier transforms. It also requires a thorough understanding of the properties and behavior of these functions.

What are some applications of integrating delta/Bessel functions?

Integrating delta/Bessel functions has many practical applications, such as in signal processing, image processing, and sound engineering. These functions are also used in the study of diffraction, scattering, and other wave phenomena.

Can delta/Bessel functions be integrated numerically?

Yes, delta/Bessel functions can be integrated numerically using numerical integration methods, such as the trapezoidal rule or Simpson's rule. However, these methods may not always be accurate, and the integration of these functions is often done analytically.

What are some challenges of integrating delta/Bessel functions?

The integration of delta/Bessel functions can be challenging due to their complex and oscillatory nature. These functions also have infinitely many terms, making the integration process time-consuming and prone to errors. Additionally, the properties of these functions can vary depending on the values of their parameters, which can add further complexity to the integration process.
