Evaluating functions similar to the Bessel functions

124 Views Asked by At

In the problem there are two integrals, and one is asked to evaluate them by taking an integral over a unit circle of some chosen function. The integrals are

$$\int_0^{2\pi}e{^{\sin n\theta}}\cos (\theta - \cos n\theta)\ d\theta$$ and $$\int_0^{2\pi}e{^{\sin n\theta}}\sin (\theta - \cos n\theta)\ d\theta$$

Ok, they look quite similar to the Bessel function which is $$J_n(\alpha) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\cos(\alpha \sin\theta - n\theta)\ d\theta$$ which in turn is a factor involved in the Laurent series expansion of an exponential function that is $$\exp\bigg({\frac{\alpha}{2}\big(z-\frac{1}{z}\big)}\bigg)=\sum \limits _{n = -\infty} ^{n = +\infty} J_n(\alpha)z^n$$ We also know that in the Laurent series for $f(z)$ analytic inside some circle around a singularity $$f(z) = \sum \limits _{n = -\infty} ^{n = +\infty} a_n(z-z_0)^n \ , a_n = \frac{1}{2\pi i}\oint_C\frac{f(\zeta)\ d\zeta}{(\zeta-z_0)^{n+1}}$$ So my guess is I am looking for a function that when converted to a function over a unit circle will be of the form $e^{\sin n\theta}$ and that this function will be similar to the exponential mentioned above. But I just can't figure out how to obtain that function or even go from $(\theta - \cos n\theta)$ to $(n\theta - \cos\theta)$ in the integrand (a substitution would alter integration limits).

Any hints?
