(i) The solution to the equation
dxd(xdxdF)+α2xF=0
that is regular at the origin is F(x)=CJ0(αx), where α is a real, positive parameter, J0 is a Bessel function, and C is an arbitrary constant. The Bessel function has infinitely many zeros: J0(γk)=0 with γk>0, for k=1,2,…. Show that
∫01J0(αx)J0(βx)xdx=α2−β2βJ0(α)J0′(β)−αJ0(β)J0′(α),α=β
(where α and β are real and positive) and deduce that
∫01J0(γkx)J0(γℓx)xdx=0,k=ℓ;∫01(J0(γkx))2xdx=21(J0′(γk))2
[Hint: For the second identity, consider α=γk and β=γk+ϵ with ϵ small.]
(ii) The displacement z(r,t) of the membrane of a circular drum of unit radius obeys
r1∂r∂(r∂r∂z)=∂t2∂2z,z(1,t)=0
where r is the radial coordinate on the membrane surface, t is time (in certain units), and the displacement is assumed to have no angular dependence. At t=0 the drum is struck, so that
z(r,0)=0,∂t∂z(r,0)={U,0,r<br>b
where U and b<1 are constants. Show that the subsequent motion is given by
z(r,t)=k=1∑∞CkJ0(γkr)sin(γkt) where Ck=−2bUγk2(J0′(γk))2J0′(γkb)
