A treatise on the theory of Bessel functions, by G. N. Watson.

The integral involved in (16) has been discussed by Stokes (cf. ~ 3'572). The integrals involved in (9) and the series in (14) were discussed by Riemann in his memoir "Zur Theorie der Nobili'schen Farbenringe," Ann. der Physik und Chemie, (2) xcv. (1855), pp. 130-139, in the special case in which v=0; he also discussed the ascending power series for J0 (z). The recurrence formulae have been given by Basset, Proc. Canzb. Phil. Soc. vI. (1889), pp. 2-19; by Macdonald, Proc. London Math. Soc. xxIx. (1899), pp. 110-115; and by Aichi, Proc. Phys. Math. Soc. of Japan, (3) II. (1920), pp. 8-19. Functions of this type whose order is half an odd integer, as in equations (10) and (12), were used by Hertz in his Berlin Dissertation, 1880 [G(es. Terke, I. (1895), pp. 77-91]; and he added yet another notation to those described in ~ 3'41.
