§10.73(i) Bessel and Modified Bessel Functions
Bessel functions first appear in the investigation of a physical problem in Daniel Bernoulli’s analysis of the small oscillations of a uniform heavy flexible chain. … In the theory of plates and shells, the oscillations of a circular plate are determined by the differential equation
10.73.3 4 W + λ 2 2 W t 2 = 0 .
With the spherical harmonic Y , m ( θ , ϕ ) defined as in §14.30(i), the solutions are of the form f = g ( k ρ ) Y , m ( θ , ϕ ) with g = 𝗃 , 𝗒 , 𝗁 ( 1 ) , or 𝗁 ( 2 ) , depending on the boundary conditions. …

    Dean (1966) describes the role of PCFs in quantum mechanical systems closely related to the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator. … For this topic and other boundary-value problems see Boyd (1973), Hillion (1997), Magnus (1941), Morse and Feshbach (1953a, b), Müller (1988), Ott (1985), Rice (1954), and Shanmugam (1978). Lastly, parabolic cylinder functions arise in the description of ultra cold atoms in harmonic trapping potentials; see Busch et al. (1998) and Edwards et al. (1999).
