For large order, Laguerre polynomials can be approximated by Bessel functions near the origin. This can be used to turn many Laguerre identities into corresponding identities for Bessel functions. We will illustrate this idea with a number…

We introduce a self-inverse function via an integral equivalent to a two-term combination of dilogarithms. We refer to this function as a fundamental form, since there is a family of extensions of this function that satisfy similar…
