In mathematics, the Hahn–Exton q-Bessel function or the third Jackson q-Bessel function is a q-analog of the Bessel function, and satisfies the Hahn-Exton q-difference equation (Swarttouw (1992)). This function was introduced by Hahn (1953) in a special case and by Exton (1983) in general.
The Hahn–Exton q-Bessel function is given by
is the basic hypergeometric function.
Properties
Zeros
Koelink and Swarttouw proved that has infinite number of real zeros. They also proved that for all non-zero roots of are real (Koelink and Swarttouw (1994)). For more details, see Abreu, Bustoz & Cardoso (2003). Zeros of the Hahn-Exton q-Bessel function appear in a discrete analog of Daniel Bernoulli's problem about free vibrations of a lump loaded chain (Hahn (1953), Exton (1983))
Derivatives
For the (usual) derivative and q-derivative of , see Koelink and Swarttouw (1994). The symmetric q-derivative of is described on Cardoso (2016).
Recurrence Relation
The Hahn–Exton q-Bessel function has the following recurrence relation (see Swarttouw (1992)):
Alternative Representations
