Do we lose orthogonality of Bessel functions when we change interval

80 Views Asked by At

This is the basic definition of integral when you calculate integral product of orthogonal Bessel functions.

Link to photo of equation of the problem

What happens when you change integral bounds from [0,a] to [b,c]? Do you lose the orthogonality or does it remain? What is the solution of the same integral only with boundaries [b,c]

P.S.: This is my initial equation.

Initial version of equation

Cs and Ds are unknown constants, but i can express Ds with using Cs - Cs is the constant i am looking for. Xs and sn are determined numerically i can easily determine them, not the point. The plan (according to what we did in school) is that i multiply this with orthogonal function and integrate it so only m=n product give non-zero integrals.

Equation under integral with orthogonal product

How am i supposed to solve this problem if the functions are not orthogonal? How can i find Cs?

P.S. P.S.: This is the correlation between Cs and Ds.

Take $a=1$. Consider the first two zeros of $J_0$; call then $a_{01}$ and $a_{02}$. Then $$ \int_0^T J_0(a_{01}\rho)J_0(a_{02}\rho)\rho\;d\rho = \frac{a_{01}J_1( a_{01}T)J_0(a_{02}T) - a_{02}J_0(a_{01}T)J_1(a_{02}T)}{(a_{01}^2 - a_{02}^2)}\;T $$ If we put $T=1$, then both numerator terms vanish, because we get $J_0(a_{01})=0$ and $J_0(a_{02})=0$. If we use some other value of $T$, we do not get these zero terms.
