  Bessel function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bessel's equation arises when finding separable solutions to Laplace's equation and the Helmholtz equation in cylindrical or spherical coordinates, and Bessel functions are therefore especially important for many problems of wave propagation, static potentials, and so on.
Bessel functions also have useful properties for other problems, such as signal processing (e.g., see FM synthesis or Kaiser window).
The Bessel functions are valid even for complex arguments x, and an important special case is that of a purely imaginary argument.

 Friedrich Bessel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bessel was the son of a civil servant, and at the age of 14 he was apprenticed to the import-export concern Kulenkamp.
With this work under his belt, Bessel was able to achieve the feat for which he is best remembered today: he is credited with being the first to use parallax in calculating the distance to a star.
In 1838 Bessel won the "race", announcing that 61 Cygni had a parallax of 0.314 arcseconds; which, given the diameter of the Earth's orbit, indicated that the star was ~3 parsecs away.

The symbol generally adopted to represent these functions is J,,, (p) where m denotes the order of the function.
He discussed their properties and constructed tables for their evaluation Although Bessel was the first to systematically treat of these functions, it is to be noted that in 1732 Daniel Bernoulli obtained the function of zero order as a solution to the problem of the oscillations of a chain suspended at one end.
In 1764 Leonhard Euler employed the functions of both zero and integral orders in an analysis into, the vibrations of a stretched membrane; an investigation which has been considerably developed by Lord Rayleigh, who has also shown (1878) that Bessels functions are particular cases of Laplaces functions.

 Bessel Functions
An important class of functions can be formed using only the four processes of arithmetic, called the rational functions, and these constitute a connection between the general hazy concept of function, and the concrete realization of functions in terms of numbers.
Bessel functions are of this type, solutions of certain differential equations that arise in many different connections.
Cylinder Functions, and they turn out to be the Bessel Functions because the satisfy the differential equation, but he carefully points out that the converse must be proved, and cannot be assumed from one particular case.

Apart from the large scope of his activity, he introduced such important novelties as the effective use of the heliometer, the correction for personal equation (in 1823), and the systematic investigation of instrumental errors.
In pure mathematics he enlarged the resources of analysis by the invention of Bessels Functions.
