Bessel functions of order one half

ID: bessel-functions-of-order-one-half

For , the Bessel differential equation of order has independent solutions and . Substituting reduces it to . The normalization of the Bessel function of the first kind gives the displayed formulas for orders and . The Frobenius method obtains the same pair from exponents and : their even-coefficient series reduce to the sine and cosine power series. In the negative-exponent recurrence, the free coefficient at the next exponent can add the positive-exponent solution, an example of an undetermined coefficient at Frobenius resonance.
