Bessel Functions in SymPy Symbolic Math Program
- Tutorial
Introduction:
A large number of the most diverse problems related to almost all the most important branches of mathematical physics and designed to answer topical technical questions are related to the application of Bessel functions.
Bessel functions are widely used in solving problems of acoustics, radiophysics, hydrodynamics, problems of atomic and nuclear physics. Numerous applications of the Bessel functions to the theory of thermal conductivity and the theory of elasticity (problems on plate vibrations, problems of shell theory, problems of determining the stress concentration near cracks).
Such popularity of Bessel functions is explained by the fact that solving equations of mathematical physics containing the Laplace operator in cylindrical coordinates by the classical method of separation of variables leads to an ordinary differential equation, which serves to determine these functions [1].
Bessel functions are named after the German astronomer Friedrich Bessel, who in 1824, studying the motion of planets around the sun, derived recurrence relations for Bessel functionsreceived for integers integral representation of a function , proved the existence of countless zeros of function and compiled the first tables for functions and .
However, for the first time one of the functions of BesselIt was considered back in 1732 by Daniel Bernoulli in a work devoted to the oscillation of heavy chains. D. Bernoulli found an expression of function in the form of a power series and noticed (without proof) that the equation has countless valid roots.
The next work, in which Bessel functions are encountered, was the work of Leonardo Euler in 1738, devoted to the study of vibrations of a circular membrane. In this work, L. Euler found for integers Bessel function expression in the form of a series in powers , and in subsequent papers extended this expression to the case of arbitrary index values . In addition, L. Euler proved that forequal to an integer and a half, functions expressed through elementary functions.
He noted (without evidence) that with valid the functions have countless real zeros and gave an integral representation for . Some researchers believe that the main results related to Bessel functions and their applications in mathematical physics are connected with the name of L. Euler.
To study the property of Bessel functions and at the same time to master methods for solving equations that are reduced to Bessel functions, allows the freely distributed program of symbolic mathematics SymPy - the Python library.
In the SymPy symbolic mathematics program, graphs of Bessel functions of the first kind of integer orders can be constructed using the relation for the sum of a series:
Using the relation for the sum of a series, we can prove the property of these functions for entire orders
To demonstrate the Cauchy conditions, we construct a function and its derivative :
However, for practical calculations, the wonderful mpmath module is used, which allows not only numerically solving equations with Bessel functions of the first and second kind, including modified ones of all admissible orders, but also constructing graphs with automatic scaling.
In addition, the mpmath module does not require special tools for sharing symbolic and numerical mathematics. The history of the creation of this module and the possibility of its use for the inverse Laplace transform I have already considered in publication [2]. Now we continue the discussion of mpmath for working with Bessel functions [3].

Applications of Bessel functions
The importance of Bessel functions is caused not only by the frequent appearance of the Bessel equation in applications, but also by the fact that the solutions of many other second-order linear differential equations can be expressed in terms of Bessel functions. To see how they appear, we start with the Bessel equation of order in the shape of:
and substitute here
Then, using (2) and introducing the constants from equation (1), we obtain:
From equation (4) we get:
If , , , then the general solution (for ) of equation (3) has the form:
Where: , , are determined from system (5). If Is an integer then need to be replaced by .
Longitudinal bending of a vertical column
We now consider a problem that is important for practical applications. In this task, it is required to determine when a uniform vertical column is bent under its own weight. We presume in the free upper end of the column and at its base; we assume that the base is rigidly inserted (i.e., fixed motionless) into the base (into the ground), possibly into concrete.
Denote the angular deviation of the column at the point through . From the theory of elasticity under these conditions it follows that:
Where - Young's modulus of the column material, - moment of inertia of its cross section, - linear density of the column and - gravitational acceleration. The boundary conditions are of the form:
We will solve the problem using (7) and (8) with:
We rewrite (7) taking into account (9) under condition (8):
A column can be deformed only if there is a non-trivial solution to problem (10); otherwise, the column will remain in a position not deviated from the vertical (i.e., physically unable to deviate from the vertical).
Differential equation (10) is an Airy equation. Equation (10) has the form of equation (3) for, , . From the system of equations (5) we obtain, , , .
Therefore, the general solution has the form:
To apply the initial conditions, we substitute in
After transformation (12), taking into account solution (11), we obtain:
Provided at the starting point we get , then (11) takes the form:
Provided at the end point , from (14) we get:
It should be noted that transformations (13), (14) could not be done if the graphs of functions were constructed using the considered capabilities of the mpmath module:
From the graph it follows that for x = 0 the function and taking into account solution (11), we immediately obtain the necessary equation (15), it remains only to find z, as will be shown below.
Thus, the column is deformed only if - root of the equation . Build a function on a separate chart:
The graph shows that the first root is slightly less than 2. Find the root from the equation You can, using the findroot (f, z0) function , accepting, according to the graph, the search pointand six decimal places mp.dps = 6 :
We get:
We calculate the critical length, for example, a flagpole, using the formula (15):
We get:
8.47 m

Applications of Bessel functions
The importance of Bessel functions is caused not only by the frequent appearance of the Bessel equation in applications, but also by the fact that the solutions of many other second-order linear differential equations can be expressed in terms of Bessel functions. To see how they appear, we start with the Bessel equation of order in the shape of:
and substitute here
Then, using (2) and introducing the constants from equation (1), we obtain:
From equation (4) we get:
If , , , then the general solution (for ) of equation (3) has the form:
Where: , , are determined from system (5). If Is an integer then need to be replaced by .
Longitudinal bending of a vertical column
We now consider a problem that is important for practical applications. In this task, it is required to determine when a uniform vertical column is bent under its own weight. We presume in the free upper end of the column and at its base; we assume that the base is rigidly inserted (i.e., fixed motionless) into the base (into the ground), possibly into concrete.
Denote the angular deviation of the column at the point through . From the theory of elasticity under these conditions it follows that:
Where - Young's modulus of the column material, - moment of inertia of its cross section, - linear density of the column and - gravitational acceleration. The boundary conditions are of the form:
We will solve the problem using (7) and (8) with:
We rewrite (7) taking into account (9) under condition (8):
A column can be deformed only if there is a non-trivial solution to problem (10); otherwise, the column will remain in a position not deviated from the vertical (i.e., physically unable to deviate from the vertical).
Differential equation (10) is an Airy equation. Equation (10) has the form of equation (3) for, , . From the system of equations (5) we obtain, , , .
Therefore, the general solution has the form:
To apply the initial conditions, we substitute in
After transformation (12), taking into account solution (11), we obtain:
Provided at the starting point we get , then (11) takes the form:
Provided at the end point , from (14) we get:
It should be noted that transformations (13), (14) could not be done if the graphs of functions were constructed using the considered capabilities of the mpmath module:
from mpmath import*
mp.dps = 6; mp.pretty = True
f=lambda x: besselj(-1/3,x)
f1=lambda x: besselj(1/3,x)
plot([f,f1], [0, 15])
From the graph it follows that for x = 0 the function and taking into account solution (11), we immediately obtain the necessary equation (15), it remains only to find z, as will be shown below.
Thus, the column is deformed only if - root of the equation . Build a function on a separate chart:
from mpmath import*
mp.dps = 6; mp.pretty = True
f=lambda x: besselj(-1/3,x)
plot(f, [0, 15])
The graph shows that the first root is slightly less than 2. Find the root from the equation You can, using the findroot (f, z0) function , accepting, according to the graph, the search pointand six decimal places mp.dps = 6 :
from mpmath import*
mp.dps = 6; mp.pretty = True
f=lambda x: besselj(-1/3,x)
print("z0=%s"%findroot(f, 1)
We get:
We calculate the critical length, for example, a flagpole, using the formula (15):
Flagpole height for different parameters in section
from numpy import*
def LRr(R,r):
E=2.9*10**11#н/м^2
rou=7900#кг/м^3
g=9.8#м/с^2
I=pi*((R-r)**4)/4#м^4
F=pi*(R-r)**2#м^2
return 1.086*(E*I/(rou*g*F))**1/3
R=5*10**-3
r=0
L= LRr(R,r)
print(round(L,2),"м")
R=7.5*10**-3
r=2*10**-3
Lr= LRr(R,r)
print(round(Lr,2),"м")
We get:
8.47 m
10.25 m The
hollow flagpole can be higher than the solid one.

A thin membrane when sound waves enter it not only oscillates with the frequency of the waves. The form of membrane vibrations can be obtained in the Bessel functions according to the following listing, using the formulas besselj () and besseljzero () :

theta =linspace(0,2*pi,50)
radius = linspace(0,1,50)
x = array([r * cos(theta) for r in radius])
y = array([r * sin(theta) for r in radius])
z = array([Membrana(r) for r in radius])
fig = plt.figure("Мембрана")
ax = Axes3D(fig)
ax.plot_surface(x, y, z, rstride=1, cstride=1, cmap=cm.jet)
ax.set_xlabel('X')
ax.set_ylabel('Y')
ax.set_zlabel('Z')

Alternative to mpmath module in special Bessel functions of SciPy library
Without delving into a detailed discussion of Bessel functions from the SciPy library [4], I will give only two listings for plotting functions of the first and second kind jv (v, x) , yv (v, x) :
jv (v, x)
import numpy as np
import pylab as py
import scipy.special as sp
x = np.linspace(0, 15, 500000)
for v in range(0, 6):
py.plot(x, sp.jv(v, x))
py.xlim((0, 15))
py.ylim((-0.5, 1.1))
py.legend(('$J_{0}(x)$', '$ J_{1}(x)$', '$J_{2}(x)$',
'$J_{3}(x)$', '$ J_{4}(x)$','$ J_{5}(x)$'),
loc = 0)
py.xlabel('$x$')
py.ylabel('${J}_n(x)$')
py.grid(True)
py.show()
yv (v, x)
import numpy as np
import pylab as py
import scipy.special as sp
x = np.linspace(0, 15, 500000)
for v in range(0, 6):
py.plot(x, sp.yv(v, x))
py.xlim((0, 15))
py.ylim((-0.5, 1.1))
py.legend(('$Y_{0}(x)$', '$ Y_{1}(x)$', '$Y_{2}(x)$',
'$Y_{3}(x)$', '$ Y_{4}(x)$','$ Y_{5}(x)$'),
loc = 0)
py.xlabel('$x$')
py.ylabel('$Y_{n}(x)$')
py.grid(True)
py.show()
