§22.19(ii) Classical Dynamics: The Quartic Oscillator
For an initial displacement with 1 / β | a | < 2 / β , bounded oscillations take place near one of the two points of stable equilibrium x = ± 1 / β . Such oscillations, of period 2 K ( k ) / η , with modulus k = 1 / 2 η 1 are given by: …

See Kassel (1995). … It involves q -generalizations of exponentials and Laguerre polynomials, and has been applied to the problems of the harmonic oscillator and Coulomb potentials. …
5: 6.17 Physical Applications
Lebedev (1965) gives an application to electromagnetic theory (radiation of a linear half-wave oscillator), in which sine and cosine integrals are used.

§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
