Hahn–Exton q-Bessel function

In mathematics, the Hahn–Exton q-Bessel function or the third Jackson q-Bessel function is a q-analog of the Bessel function, and satisfies the Hahn-Exton q-difference equation (Swarttouw (1992)). This function was introduced by Hahn (1953) in a special case and by Exton (1983) in general.

The Hahn–Exton q-Bessel function is given by

is the basic hypergeometric function.

Properties

Zeros

edit

Koelink and Swarttouw proved that   has infinite number of real zeros. They also proved that for   all non-zero roots of   are real (Koelink and Swarttouw (1994)). For more details, see Abreu, Bustoz & Cardoso (2003). Zeros of the Hahn-Exton q-Bessel function appear in a discrete analog of Daniel Bernoulli's problem about free vibrations of a lump loaded chain (Hahn (1953), Exton (1983))

Derivatives

edit

For the (usual) derivative and q-derivative of  , see Koelink and Swarttouw (1994). The symmetric q-derivative of   is described on Cardoso (2016).

Recurrence Relation
