Expansion of Bessel functions of the first kindJn(ax) resp. modified Bessel functions of the first kindIn(ax) in terms ofJk(x) · Jn−<
The author derives the result \[ J_{n}(ax)=\sum_{k=-\infty}^{+\infty}J_{k}(x)J_{n-k}((a-1)x),\tag{j} \] which is a generalization of [\textit{G. N. Watson}, A Treatise on the Theory of Bessel Functions (1944; Zbl 0063.08184), p. 30], where \(a=2\). However (j) is a simple consequence of the wellknown addition theorem for Bessel functions [\textit{L. Schäfli}, Clebsch Ann. III. 134--159 (1870; JFM 02.0261.01), p. 135; \textit{P. Schafheitlin}, Die Theorie der Besselschen Funktionen (1908; JFM 39.0530.01), p. 81, 2; \textit{G. N. Watson}, loc. cit., p. 143, 5.3.1]. \[ J_{n}(x+y)=\sum_{k=-\infty}^{+\infty}J_{k}(x)J_{n-k}(y). \] The author also shows that (j) holds for the modified Bessel function \(I_{n}(x)\), which is easily seen.
