►Bessel functions and modified Bessel functions are often used as approximants in the construction of uniformasymptoticapproximations and expansions for solutions of linear second-order differential equations containing a parameter.

►If has a double zero , or more generally is a zero of order , , then uniformasymptoticapproximations (but not expansions) can be constructed in terms of Bessel functions, or modified Bessel functions, of order .
