Bessel's Equation

By John Campbell
$\begingroup$

How can I solve this Bessel's Equation?

$$x^2*y''+x*y'+(x^2-v^2)y=0$$

First I did that:

$$y''+\frac{1}{x}y'+\frac{(x^2-v^2)}{x^2}y = 0$$

Then,

$$ce^{-\int\left[\frac{1}{x}\right]dx}=ce^{-\ln(x)}=-cx$$

$$x^2*y''+x*y'+(x^2-v^2)y=0$$ is the Bessel ODE which solutions are linear combinations of the Bessel functions of the first- and second- kind.
