We derive two distinct asymptotic expansions for the zeros $j_{\nu,k}^{(n)}$ of the $n$-th derivative of Bessel function $J_\nu^{(n)}(x)$. The first is a McMahon-type expansion for the case when $k \to \infty$ with fixed $\nu$, for which we…
A recent asymptotic expansion for the positive zeros $x=j_{\nu,m}$ ($m=1,2,3,\ldots$) of the Bessel function of the first kind $J_{\nu}(x)$ is studied, where the order $\nu$ is positive. Unlike previous well-known expansions in the…
Linear second order differential equations having a large real parameter and turning point in the complex plane are considered. Classical asymptotic expansions for solutions involve the Airy function and its derivative, along with two…
We observe that solutions of a large class of highly oscillatory second order linear ordinary differential equations can be approximated using nonoscillatory phase functions. In addition, we describe numerical experiments which illustrate…
Reformulated uniform asymptotic expansions are derived for ordinary differential equations having a large parameter and a simple turning point. These involve Airy functions, but not their derivatives, unlike traditional asymptotic…
We determine the asymptotic behaviour of the $n$th derivatives of the Bessel functions $J_\nu(a)$ and $K_\nu(a)$, where $a$ is a fixed positive quantity, as $n\to\infty$. These results are applied to the asymptotic evaluation of two…
Bessel and modified Bessel functions of imaginary order $i\nu$ ($\nu >0$) are studied. Asymptotic expansions are derived as $\nu \to \infty$ that are uniformly valid in unbounded complex domains, with error bounds provided. Coupled with…
The $\nu$-zeros of the Bessel functions of purely imaginary order are examined for fixed argument $x>0$. In the case of the modified Bessel function of the second kind $K_{i\nu}(x)$, it is known that it possesses a countably infinite…
We study the classical problem of finding asymptotics for the Bessel functions $J_{\nu}(z)$ and $Y_{\nu}(z)$ as the argument $z$ and the order $\nu$ approach infinity. We use blow-up analysis to find asymptotics for the modulus and phase of…
Asymptotic expansions for the Bateman and Havelock functions defined respectively by the integrals \[\frac{2}{\pi}\int_0^{\pi/2} \!\!\!\begin{array}{c} \cos\\\sin\end{array}\!(x\tan u-\nu u)\,du\] are obtained for large real $x$ and large…
Uniform asymptotic expansions are derived for reverse generalised Bessel polynomials of large degree $n$, real parameter $a$, and complex argument $z$, which are simpler than previously known results. The defining differential equation is…
We introduce a version of the asymptotic expansions for Bessel functions $J_\nu(z)$, $Y_\nu(z)$ that is valid whenever $|z| > \nu$ (which is deep in the Fresnel regime), as opposed to the standard expansions that are applicable only in the…
We investigate the asymptotic expansion of integrals analogous to Ball's integral \[\int_0^\infty \left(\frac{\Gamma(1+\nu)|J_\nu(x)|}{(x/2)^\nu}\right)^{\!n}dx\] for large $n$ in which the Bessel function $J_\nu(x)$ is replaced by the…
We examine convergent representations for the sum of a decaying exponential and a Bessel function in the form \[\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{e^{-an}}{(\frac{1}{2} bn)^\nu}\,J_\nu(bn),\] where $J_\nu(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind…
Computable and sharp error bounds are derived for asymptotic expansions for linear differential equations having a simple turning point. The expansions involve Airy functions and slowly varying coefficient functions. The sharpness of the…
Let $a_{\nu,k}$ be the $k$-th positive zero of the cross-product of Bessel functions $J_\nu(R z) Y_\nu(z) - J_\nu(z) Y_\nu(R z)$, where $\nu\geq 0$ and $R>1$. We derive an initial value problem for a first order differential equation whose…
The derivatives with respect to order {\nu} for the Bessel functions of argument x (real or complex) are studied. Representations are derived in terms of integrals that involve the products pairs of Bessel functions, and in turn series…
Using a differential equation approach asymptotic expansions are rigorously obtained for Lommel, Weber, Anger-Weber and Struve functions, as well as Neumann polynomials, each of which is a solution of an inhomogeneous Bessel equation. The…
The numerical evaluation of an individual Bessel or Hankel function of large order and large argument is a notoriously problematic issue in physics. Recurrence relations are inefficient when an individual function of high order and argument…
We consider the asymptotic expansion of the Mathieu-Bessel series \[S_\nu(a,b)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n^\gamma J_\nu(nb/a)}{(n^2+a^2)^\mu}, \qquad (\mu, b>0,\ \gamma, \nu\in {\bf R})\] as $a\to+\infty$ with the other parameters held fixed,…
