Discrete Bessel functions and discrete wave equation

In this paper, we study discrete Bessel functions which are solutions to the discretization of Bessel differential equations when the forward and the backward difference replace the time derivative. We focus on the discrete Bessel equations with the backward difference and derive their solutions. We then study the transformation properties of those functions, describe their asymptotic behaviour and compute Laplace transform. As an application, we study the discrete wave equation on the integers in timescale $T=\mathbb{Z}$ and express its fundamental and general solution in terms of the discrete $J$-Bessel function. Going further, we show that the first fundamental solution of this equation oscillates with the exponentially decaying amplitude as time tends to infinity.
