Nonunique weights in a closed Bessel integral representation
ID: nonunique-weights-in-a-closed-bessel-integral-representation
Choose the square-root branch asymptotic to outside the cut . The Laurent series of its reciprocal gives the displayed integral by termwise residue calculation. Adding any entire function to the weight leaves the integral unchanged, since its product with is entire. Thus a nonzero solution represented by a contour integral does not by itself determine the weight uniquely; an inference from the differential equation to an equation for the weight needs an injective representation or an explicit construction assumption.
