Bessel Functions
The Bessel functions are rather complicated oscillatory functions with many
interesting properties. The functions Iv(z) and Kv(z) are
solutions of the first and second kind, respectively, to the modified Bessel
equation
and the functions Jv(z) and Yv(z) are solutions of the first and
second kind, respectively, to the Bessel equation
Following are plots of these functions.
