Additional monotonicity results for the zeros of Bessel functions (Q2367501)

The authors show certain monotonicity properties of the zeros \(c_{\nu,k}\), \(k\in\mathbb{N}\), of the general cylinder functions \(C_ \nu(x):=J_ \nu(x) \cos \alpha-Y_ \nu(x)\sin \alpha\), \(\nu\geq -1\), \(0\leq\alpha<\pi\), with respect to \(\nu\) and \(k\), hereby \(J_ \nu\) and \(Y_ \nu\) denote the Bessel functions of the first and second kind respectively. The proofs are based on Sturm's comparison theorem.
