A completeness-like relation for Bessel functions

Mathematical Physics 2015-11-17 v2 Statistical Mechanics math.MP

Abstract

Completeness relations are associated through Mercer's theorem to complete orthonormal basis of square integrable functions, and prescribe how a Dirac delta function can be decomposed into basis of eigenfunctions of a Sturm-Liouville problem. We use Gegenbauer's addition theorem to prove a relation very close to a completeness relation, but for a set of Bessel functions not known to form a complete basis in L2[0,1]L^2[0, 1].
