This volume studies the generalized Bessel functions of the first kind by using a number of classical and new findings in complex and classical analysis. It presents interesting geometric properties and functional inequalities for these generalized functions.

An extensive summary of mathematical functions that occur in physical and engineering problems

Self-contained text, useful for classroom or independent study, covers Bessel functions of zero order, modified Bessel functions, definite integrals, asymptotic expansions, and Bessel functions of any real order. 226 problems.

Bessel functions are associated with a wide range of problems in important areas of mathematical physics. Bessel function theory is applied to problems of acoustics, radio physics, hydrodynamics, and atomic and nuclear physics. Bessel Functions and Their Applications consists of two parts. In Part One, the author presents a clear and rigorous intro

The various types of special functions have become essential tools for scientists and engineers. One of the important classes of special functions is of the hypergeometric type. It includes all classical hypergeometric functions such as the well-known Gaussian hypergeometric functions, the Bessel, Macdonald, Legendre, Whittaker, Kummer, Tricomi and Wright functions, the generalized hypergeometric functions ?Fq, Meijer's G-function, Fox's H-function, etc.Application of the new special functions allows one to increase considerably the number of problems whose solutions are found in a closed form, to examine these solutions, and to investigate the relationships between different classes of the special functions.This book deals with the theory and applications of generalized associated Legendre functions of the first and the second kind, Pm, n?(z) and Qm, n?(z), which are important representatives of the hypergeometric functions. They occur as generalizations of classical Legendre functions of the first and the second kind respectively. The authors use various methods of contour integration to obtain important properties of the generalized associated Legnedre functions as their series representations, asymptotic formulas in a neighborhood of singular points, zero properties, connection with Jacobi functions, Bessel functions, elliptic integrals and incomplete beta functions.The book also presents the theory of factorization and composition structure of integral operators associated with the generalized associated Legendre function, the fractional integro-differential properties of the functions Pm, n?(z) and Qm, n?(z), the classes of dual and triple integral equations associated with the function Pm, n-1/2+i?(chà) etc.

Physics, chemistry, and engineering undergraduates will benefit from this straightforward guide to special functions. Its topics possess wide applications in quantum mechanics, electrical engineering, and many other fields. 1968 edition. Includes 25 figures.
