Abstract

A useful identity relating the infinite sum of two Bessel functions to their infinite integral was discovered in Dominici et al. (2012). Here, we extend this result to products of NN Bessel functions, and show it can be straightforwardly proven using the Abel-Plana theorem, or the Poisson summation formula. For N=2N=2, the proof is much simpler than that of Dominici et al., and significantly enlarges the range of validity.
