Bessel density modes during exponential expansion

ID: bessel-density-modes-during-exponential-expansion

For constant positive Hubble parameter and a four-thirds polytropic equation of state, a linear cosmological density perturbation obeys . Put and . The resulting Bessel differential equation has order ; use ordinary Bessel functions for and modified Bessel functions for . Their small- expansions give one constant limiting mode and one mode. The constant limit need not exceed the initial amplitude without an initial-velocity condition.
