Abstract
A recent asymptotic expansion for the positive zeros () of the Bessel function of the first kind is studied, where the order is positive. Unlike previous well-known expansions in the literature, this is uniformly valid for one or both and unbounded, namely and . Explicit and simple lower and upper error bounds are derived for the difference between and the first three terms of the expansion. The bounds are sharp in the sense they are close to the value of the fourth term of the expansion (i.e. the first neglected term).
