1 80 Chapter 5. Series Solutions of Second Order Linear Equations. Consider the differential equation y + α s y + β t y = 0, (i) where α = 0andβ = 0 are real numbers, and s and t are positive integers that for the moment are arbitrary. (a) Show that if s > ort >, then the point = 0 is an irregular singular point. (b) Try to find a solution of Eq. (i) of the form y = r+n, > 0. (ii) Show that if s = andt =, then there is only one possible value of r for which there is a formal solution of Eq. (i) of the form (ii). (c) Show that if s = andt = 3, then there are no solutions of Eq. (i) of the form (ii). (d) Show that the maimum values of s and t for which the indicial equation is quadratic in r [and hence we can hope to find two solutions of the form (ii)] are s = andt =. These are precisely the conditions that distinguish a weak singularity, or a regular singular point, from an irregular singular point, as we defined them in Section 5.. As ote of caution we should point out that while it is sometimes possible to obtain a formal series solution of the form (ii) at an irregular singular point, the series may not have a positive radius of convergence. See Problem 0 for an eample. 5.8 Bessel s Equation ODE In this section we consider three special cases of Bessel s equation, y + y + ( ν )y = 0, () where ν is a constant, which illustrate the theory discussed in Section 5.7. It is easy to show that = 0 is a regular singular point. For simplicity we consider only the case > 0. Bessel Equation of Order Zero. This eample illustrates the situation in which the roots of the indicial equation are equal. Setting ν = 0inEq.()gives L[y] = y + y + y = 0. () Substituting y = φ(r, ) = a 0 r + r+n, (3) n= Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel (78 86) embarked on a career in business as a youth, but soon became interested in astronomy and mathematics. He was appointed director of the observatory at Königsberg in 80 and held this position until his death. His study of planetary perturbations led him in 8 to make the first systematic analysis of the solutions, known as Bessel functions, of Eq. (). He is also famous for making the first accurate determination (838) of the distance from the earth to a star.
2 5.8 Bessel s Equation 8 we obtain L[φ](r, ) = [(r + n)(r + n ) + (r + n)] r+n + r+n+ = a 0 [r(r ) + r] r + a [(r + )r + (r + )] r+ + { [(r + n)(r + n ) + (r + n)] + } r+n = 0. () n= The roots of the indicial equation F(r) = r(r ) + r = 0arer = 0andr = 0; hence we have the case of equal roots. The recurrence relation is a (r) = n (r) (r + n)(r + n ) + (r + n) = (r) (r + n), n. (5) To determine y () we set r equal to 0. Then from Eq. () it follows that for the coefficient of r+ to be zero we must choose a = 0. Hence from Eq. (5), a 3 = a 5 = a 7 = =0. Further, or letting n = m, we obtain Thus and, in general, Hence (0) = (0)/n, n =,, 6, 8,..., (0) = (0)/(m), m =,, 3,.... a (0) = a 0, a (0) = a 0, a 6 (0) = a 0 6 (3 ), (0) = ( )m a 0 m (m!), m =,, 3,... (6) y () = a 0 [ + ] ( ) m m m (m!), > 0. (7) The function in brackets is known as the Bessel function of the first kind of order zero and is denoted by J 0 (). It follows from Theorem 5.7. that the series converges for all, andthatj 0 is analytic at = 0. Some of the important properties of J 0 are discussed in the problems. Figure 5.8. shows the graphs of y = J 0 () and some of the partial sums of the series (7). To determine y () we will calculate (0). The alternative procedure in which we simply substitute the form (3) of Section 5.7 in Eq. () and then determine the b n is discussed in Problem 0. First we note from the coefficient of r+ in Eq. () that (r + ) a (r) = 0. It follows that not only does a (0) = 0butalsoa (0) = 0. It is easy to deduce from the recurrence relation (5) that a 3 (0) = a 5 (0) = =a n+ (0) = =0; hence we need only compute (0), m =,, 3,...From Eq. (5) we have (r) = (r)/(r + m), m =,, 3,...
3 8 Chapter 5. Series Solutions of Second Order Linear Equations y n = n = 8 n = n = 6 n = y = J 0 () n = n = 6 n = 0 n = n = 8 FIGURE 5.8. Polynomial approimations to J 0 (). The value of n is the degree of the approimating polynomial. By solving this recurrence relation we obtain (r) = ( ) m a 0 (r + ) (r + ) (r + m ) (r + m), m =,, 3,... (8) The computation of (r) can be carried out most conveniently by noting that if f () = ( α ) β ( α ) β ( α3 ) β 3 ( αn ) β n, and if is not equal to α,α,...,α n,then f () f () = β + β + + β n. α α α n Applying this result to (r) from Eq. (8) we find that a m (r) (r) = ( r + + r r + m and, setting r equal to 0, we obtain [ (0) = ] a m m (0). Substituting for (0) from Eq. (6), and letting we obtain, finally, ), H m = m, (9) (0) = H ( ) m a 0 m m (m!), m =,, 3,...
4 5.8 Bessel s Equation 83 The second solution of the Bessel equation of order zero is found by setting a 0 = and substituting for y () and (0) = b m (0) in Eq. (3) of Section 5.7. We obtain ( ) m+ H y () = J 0 () ln + m m (m!) m, > 0. (0) Instead of y, the second solution is usually taken to be a certain linear combination of J 0 and y. It is known as the Bessel function of the second kind of order zero and is denoted by Y 0. Following Copson (Chapter ), we define 3 Y 0 () = π [y () + (γ ln )J 0 ()]. () Here γ is a constant, known as the Euler Máscheroni ( ) constant; it is defined by the equation γ = lim n (H n ln n) = () Substituting for y () in Eq. (), we obtain [ ] Y 0 () = ( γ + ln ) ( ) m+ H J π 0 () + m m (m!) m, > 0. (3) The general solution of the Bessel equation of order zero for > 0is y = c J 0 () + c Y 0 (). Note that J 0 () as 0andthatY 0 () has a logarithmic singularity at = 0; that is, Y 0 () behaves as (/π) ln when 0 through positive values. Thus if we are interested in solutions of Bessel s equation of order zero that are finite at the origin, which is often the case, we must discard Y 0. The graphs of the functions J 0 and Y 0 are shown in Figure It is interesting to note from Figure 5.8. that for large both J 0 () and Y 0 () are oscillatory. Such a behavior might be anticipated from the original equation; indeed it y y = J 0 () 0.5 y = Y 0 () FIGURE 5.8. The Bessel functions of order zero. 3 Other authors use other definitions for Y 0. The present choice for Y 0 is also known as the Weber (8 93) function.
5 8 Chapter 5. Series Solutions of Second Order Linear Equations is true for the solutions of the Bessel equation of order ν. IfwedivideEq.()by, we obtain ( ) y + y + ν y = 0. For very large it is reasonable to suspect that the terms (/)y and (ν / )y are small and hence can be neglected. If this is true, then the Bessel equation of order ν can be approimated by y + y = 0. The solutions of this equation are sin and cos ; thus we might anticipate that the solutions of Bessel s equation for large are similar to linear combinations of sin and cos. This is correct insofar as the Bessel functions are oscillatory; however, it is only partly correct. For large the functions J 0 and Y 0 also decay as increases; thus the equation y + y = 0 does not provide an adequate approimation to the Bessel equation for large, and a more delicate analysis is required. In fact, it is possible to show that and that J 0 () = Y 0 () = ( ) / ( cos π ) π ( ) / sin( π ) π as, () as. (5) These asymptotic approimations, as, are actually very good. For eample, Figure shows that the asymptotic approimation () to J 0 () is reasonably accurate for all. Thus to approimate J 0 () over the entire range from zero to infinity, one can use two or three terms of the series (7) for and the asymptotic approimation () for. y Asymptotic approimation: y = (/ π) / cos( π/) y = J 0 () FIGURE Asymptotic approimation to J 0 ().
6 5.8 Bessel s Equation 85 Bessel Equation of Order One-Half. This eample illustrates the situation in which the roots of the indicial equation differ by a positive integer, but there is no logarithmic term in the second solution. Setting ν = in Eq. () gives L[y] = y + y + ( ) y = 0. (6) If we substitute the series (3) for y = φ(r, ), we obtain L[φ](r, ) = [ (r + n)(r + n ) + (r + n) ] an r+n + r+n+ = (r )a 0 r + [ (r + ) ] a r+ {[ + (r + n) ] } an + a n r+n = 0. (7) n= The roots of the indicial equation are r =, r = ; hence the roots differ by an integer. The recurrence relation is [ (r + n) ] an = a n, n. (8) Corresponding to the larger root r = we find from the coefficient of r+ in Eq. (7) that a = 0. Hence, from Eq. (8), a 3 = a 5 = =+ = =0. Further, for r =, or letting n = m, we obtain =, n =,, 6..., n(n + ) =, m =,, 3,... m(m + ) By solving this recurrence relation we find that and, in general, a = a 0 3!, a = a 0 5!,... Hence, taking a 0 =, we obtain ] y () = [ / ( ) m m + (m + )! = ( )m a 0, m =,, 3,... (m + )! = / m=0 ( ) m m+, > 0. (9) (m + )! ThepowerseriesinEq. (9) ispreciselythetaylorseriesforsin ; hence one solution of the Bessel equation of order one-half is / sin. The Bessel function of the first kind of order one-half, J /,isdefinedas(/π) / y. Thus J / () = ( ) / sin, > 0. (0) π
7 86 Chapter 5. Series Solutions of Second Order Linear Equations Corresponding to the root r = it is possible that we may have difficulty in computing a since N = r r =. However, from Eq. (7) for r = the coefficients of r and r+ are both zero regardless of the choice of a 0 and a. Hence a 0 and a can be chosen arbitrarily. From the recurrence relation (8) we obtain a set of even-numbered coefficients corresponding to a 0 and a set of odd-numbered coefficients corresponding to a. Thus no logarithmic term is needed to obtain a second solution in this case. It is left as an eercise to show that, for r =, Hence = ( )n a 0, a (n)! n+ = ( )n a, n =,,... (n + )! y () = / [ a 0 = a 0 cos / + a ( ) n n + a (n)! ] ( ) n n+ (n + )! sin, > 0. () / The constant a simply introduces a multiple of y (). The second linearly independent solution of the Bessel equation of order one-half is usually taken to be the solution for which a 0 = (/π) / and a = 0. It is denoted by J /.Then J / () = ( ) / cos, > 0. () π The general solution of Eq. (6) is y = c J / () + c J / (). By comparing Eqs. (0) and () with Eqs. () and (5) we see that, ecept for a phase shift of π/, the functions J / and J / resemble J 0 and Y 0, respectively, for large. The graphs of J / and J / are shown in Figure y J / () 0.5 J / () FIGURE 5.8. The Bessel functions J / and J /.
8 5.8 Bessel s Equation 87 Bessel Equation of Order One. This eample illustrates the situation in which the roots of the indicial equation differ by a positive integer and the second solution involves a logarithmic term. Setting ν = ineq.()gives L[y] = y + y + ( )y = 0. (3) If we substitute the series (3) for y = φ(r, ) and collect terms as in the preceding cases, we obtain L[φ](r, ) = a 0 (r ) r + a [(r + ) ] r+ + {[(r + n) ] + } r+n = 0. () n= The roots of the indicial equation are r = andr =. The recurrence relation is [(r + n) ] (r) = (r), n. (5) Corresponding to the larger root r = the recurrence relation becomes =, n =, 3,,... (n + )n We also find from the coefficient of r+ in Eq. () that a = 0; hence from the recurrence relation a 3 = a 5 = =0. For even values of n,letn = m; then = (m + )(m) =, m =,, 3,... (m + )m By solving this recurrence relation we obtain = ( ) m a 0 m, m =,, 3,... (6) (m + )!m! The Bessel function of the first kind of order one, denoted by J, is obtained by choosing a 0 = /. Hence J () = m=0 ( ) m m m (m + )!m!. (7) The series converges absolutely for all, so the function J is analytic everywhere. In determining a second solution of Bessel s equation of order one, we illustrate the method of direct substitution. The calculation of the general term in Eq. (8) below is rather complicated, but the first few coefficients can be found fairly easily. According to Theorem 5.7. we assume that y () = aj () ln + [ + c n ], n > 0. (8) Computing y (), y (), substituting in Eq. (3), and making use of the fact that J is a solution of Eq. (3) give a J () + [(n )(n )c n + (n )c n c n ] n + c n n+ = 0, (9) n=
9 88 Chapter 5. Series Solutions of Second Order Linear Equations where c 0 =. Substituting for J () from Eq. (7), shifting the indices of summation in the two series, and carrying out several steps of algebra give c + [0 c + c 0 ] + = a [ + [(n )c n+ + c n ] n n= ] ( ) m (m + ) m+ m. (30) (m + )! m! From Eq. (30) we observe first that c = 0, and a = c 0 =. Further, since there are only odd powers of on the right, the coefficient of each even power of on the left must be zero. Thus, since c = 0, we have c 3 = c 5 = =0. Corresponding to the odd powers of we obtain the recurrence relation [let n = m + in the series on the left side of Eq. (30)] [(m + ) ]c m+ + c m = ( )m (m + ) m, m =,, 3,.... (3) (m + )! m! When we set m = in Eq. (3), we obtain (3 )c + c = ( )3/(!). Notice that c can be selected arbitrarily, and then this equation determines c.also notice that in the equation for the coefficient of, c appeared multiplied by 0, and that equation was used to determine a. Thatc is arbitrary is not surprising, since c is the coefficient of in the epression [ + c n n ]. Consequently, c simply generates a multiple of J,andy is only determined up to an additive multiple of J. In accord with the usual practice we choose c = /. Then we obtain c = [ ] 3 + = [( + ) ] +! = ( )! (H + H ). It is possible to show that the solution of the recurrence relation (3) is n= c m = ( )m+ (H m + H m ) m, m =,,... m!(m )! with the understanding that H 0 = 0. Thus [ y () = J () ln + ( ) m (H m + H m ) m ], m m!(m )! > 0. (3) The calculation of y () using the alternative procedure [see Eqs. (9) and (0) of Section 5.7] in which we determine the c n (r ) is slightly easier. In particular the latter procedure yields the general formula for c m without the necessity of solving a recurrence relation of the form (3) (see Problem ). In this regard the reader may also wish to compare the calculations of the second solution of Bessel s equation of order zero in the tet and in Problem 0.
10 5.8 Bessel s Equation 89 The second solution of Eq. (3), the Bessel function of the second kind of order one, Y, is usually taken to be a certain linear combination of J and y. Following Copson (Chapter ), Y is defined as Y () = π [ y () + (γ ln )J ()], (33) where γ is defined in Eq. (). The general solution of Eq. (3) for > 0is y = c J () + c Y (). Notice that while J is analytic at = 0, the second solution Y becomes unbounded in the same manner as / as 0. The graphs of J and Y are shown in Figure y 0.5 y = J () y = Y () FIGURE The Bessel functions J and Y.
